BENDSCAPE Optimized Manufacturing by Incorporating Tool Development and Machining in Design
BENDSCAPE Optimized Manufacturing by Incorporating Tool Development and Machining in Design

Article published at the proceedings of the CAADRIA 2024 Conference in Singapore university of Technology and Design. Abstract: The abundance of computationally designed and manufactured architectural projects and pavilions in recent years has shifted the boundaries of architectural design and fabrication to a great extent. Hence, there exists a gap between the computational design and […]

PRAXIS Pavilion 2023, BENDSCAPE
PRAXIS Pavilion 2023, BENDSCAPE

BENDSCAPE results from a two-semester work by the students in Machining PRAXIS in Architecture I & II, at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna’s Institute of Architecture. In this study, the students began learning the processes of 3-axis machining and developed their expertise by experimenting with wood bending techniques based on subtraction. During this […]

CGI 2024

The course will address various topics within the field digital imagery and CG production. By introducing advanced tools and techniques and through productive experimentation we will also address the ongoing discussion around the digital realm, image sciences and the iconic turn. Students are invoked to further develop their technical abilities as well as define/refine an […]

DIGITAL DESIGN & PRODUCTION – SELECTED WORKS 2015

Some of the results of the course “Digitales Entwerfen und Digitale Produktion / Editing 4” Winterterm 2015 Students had to digitally develop a lamp-shade based on a chosen gastropod shell. After an intensive geometrical shape and growth analysis of the shell each developed a parametric model in Rhinoceros 5.0 + Grasshopper. To build a working […]

IMPRINTPROCESSES
IMPRINTPROCESSES

The DDPLab of the IoA is co-hosting one of this year’s urban strategies summer schools IMPRINTPROCESSES instructs to produce, calibrate, operate and hack their own 3D printers. Special attention is given to the individual printers´ behaviours. The summerschool relates experiments and their emergent physical manifestations with the material processes of the urban fabric, and has a […]
