ARCHITECTURAL ASSOCIATION SUMMER D-LAB
The Architectural Association Summer D-Lab experiments with the integration of advanced computational design, analysis, and large scale prototyping techniques. Parametric kerfing patterns were cut into polypropylene and steel to be pushed by a 6-axis robot to create three dimensional structures. Sunlight analysis and structural analysis of several prototypes were studied in Grasshopper through Ladybug and Karamba respectively. The final prototype was built out of CNC milled steel and aluminum and assembled by hand with custom joints on the outdoor terrace of the AA. My responsibility in the group was to create a hexagonal subdivision strategy and design the custom joint strategy.
