"Growing objects with computers. Designing the digital process rather than being led by it. Based on structures and self organisational methods in nature, the algorithm builds chair’s structure on the principle of most efficient material distribution. Each time the algorithm is run it produces an unique extremely strong structure." Luka Stepan
2.5 » fascinations 2.5.1¬ strangler figs
The fig grows down along the host trees trunk, creating anetwork of thin roots around it. After touching the ground it gets more nutrients from the ground and the roots thicken quickly around the hosts trunk. After a while the roots merge together, creating a strong lattice.The host trees trunk is now wrapped tightly in the roots of the strangler fig, which stops the growth of the tree. After this the host tree dies inside, and rots away, leaving the strangler fig as a hollow cylinder, this cylinder is strong enough to stand on its own and therefore does not fall over.

For my minor semester in Architecture at the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland I joined in a design studio lead by London architect Stylianos Dritsas.
The assignment was to design a high density dwelling building in a site in the cityofLondon.Asaresultaskyscraperbased on the formal language of the stranglerfigelaborated.

Martijn StellingwerffJeroen van de Laar
Inthefirstmastersemesterwehadelective courses in which we could enroll if we were interested in the subject.
ThecourseofthisprojectwascalledOrnamatics, which really triggered my interest. The crossover between decorative, ornamental thinking and computerizedmodelingtechniqueswasnice challenge.
The brief was to create a bandstand in a new fashion using a formal style that wasleadbyornamentalaspects.Intheendthegoalwasaphysicalmodelofthebandstandinwhichcomputerizedmodeling techniques were extensively used.
Thisspiralpavillionisanewstylebandstand that is different from any other bandstand, because of the fact
thattheaudienceiswrappedinthestageandvice-versa.Inthiswaytheaudienceisincorporatedmuchmoreintotheperformancethanintraditionalset-upsof bandstands.
The model was made with several modeling techniques:

ORNAMATICS projectdescription
existing mass / restoring historical mass
newly added volume
The inner shells of the gasometer will be restored in the original state in order to add sufficient volume to the builing.
A completely new volume will be realised on the site of the gasometer, which inter-nally contains the imprint of the old screw gasometer.
The gasometer gets two faces, one ‘old’ side in which the old appearance of the historical screw gasometer is restored as good as possible and one new side, which will promote the new function of the building as cultural center.

The goal was to refurbish an existing screwgasometer-oneofthelastofitskindintheNetherlands-asacultural
center for the city of The Hague.
In the architecture of the renovation different ways of dealing with industrial heritagewereelaboratedandapplied.

TOWNHALL WESTLANDArchitectural design and facade design2008
BSc4projectRocco Reukema
CollaboratorsAndreaClaassen(architecture)BartMacquoy(construction)
Inthisbachelorprojectanewdesignforamunicipalhallwastheaim.Incollaboration with two other students the global design of the building was made and in the following months this design was elaborated further in three different disciplines:Architecture,constructionand façade design. I got the assignment of elaborating the façades further, which was interesting
consideringthemultifacedaspectofthebuilding.Investigation of techniques for green roofs, concrete sheeting and curtain walls were all very enlightening.
Butthemostchallengingpartoftheassignment was that the different disciplineshadtoworktogetherconstantly, luckily this was achieved very well, resulting in a coherent design.
