Description:
Required Skills: Basic knowledge of Rhinoceros/Grasshopper
Required Software: Rhinoceros/Grasshopper
Required Hardware: PC
Maximum number of participating students: 100
The workshop will explore the advantages and limitations of constructing self-supporting minimal shell structures with flexible connectivity and segmentation patterns. In analogy to the biological pattern mechanism of stripe formations, the objective is to explore surface patterns for the purpose of 3d print flat stripes and to perform structural analysis in order to examine vulnerable areas and suggest actions. A step by step guided workflow will be directly applied and used as a platform for testing ideas using Rhino and Grasshopper plugins (basically Kangaroo, Ivy, Millipede). The proposed design is considering from an early stage the construction logic and material properties. At the end of the workshop, each team will come with a project proposal for 3D printing.
