design – material – production

In a 5-day compact workshop, students from MCDC created several real size folded furniture prototypes from flat sheet composite materials such as DiBond®, AlucoBond® and Hylite®.

The workshop is part of the series „digital crafting“ – a methodological didactical design concept that intertwines the design and production process. While developing their…

Generating fractal space frames

Structures under compression load are less efficient than the same structures under tension load. Instead of material breaking, yielding which determines design of a structure, at compression structures - buckling occurs before mentioned events.

By replacing straight beam elements under compression, with a series of fractal space frames (two tetrahedra on both end, and a stack of polyhedra in between) and distributing the initial compression force into tension and compression members…

VORONOI_HELP!!

I am working with complex surfaces using the software Rhino-Grasshopper. I am having problems trying to flat a voronoi surface and I am desperate looking for any help. So I would like to ask if someone could give me some help as I am not sure if my surface is correct. I would like to know how is it possible to flat these surfaces and if Grasshopper is the best software to do so.

I am sending the Grasshopper files containing what I have done so…
