About Exhibition

Designing complexity

The continuous technological development proliferates the complex relationships in both abstract and the real world environment and shapes the society in a new way. Digital design tools and techniques, production and scientific methods provide a good foundation for a new interpretation of the geometry and complex design in the contemporary age. Different levels and aspects of complexity influence the design appearance and make the designers rethink the design process, since possibilities of integration of the com-plexity into the core of the design process continually increases.In architecture, design and art, geometry and complexity are present in many ways. The exhibition ”Designing complexity” focuses on the re-embodiment of geometry and complexity in architecture, design and art which relates the digital technologies and innovative design approaches.

tures and Structural Design (ITKE), University of Stuttgart

Germany

This project examines the potential of using tangible interfaces and sensor feedback to develop an intuitive design and construction process utilizing granular jamming. By taking advantage of the vari-able stiffness of granular jamming, we create an adaptive fabrication process, where the user can easily and quickly create various formations by touching and forming individual jammed units which can weave or interlock in an overall system. Throughout the process, a tangible interface guides the user’s design decisions and operations, based on predesigned formal and tectonic strategies from a background computational process and library. By recording and storing the formations that multiple users produce with their own hands, this background computational library expands and learns from the successes and failures of previous iterations, ultimately developing a robust and open-ended de-sign and construction strategy for granular jamming.

Platoon sound sculptureAuthor: Paul Clemens Bart, Marvin Bratke, Alexander Grasser

Platoon Kunsthalle

Germany

An audiovisual real-time performance that emphasizes audio synthesis and graphical languages. A interactive/reactive system between the audio and the image, between the man and the machine. The sound sculpture was part of an interactive performance at Platoon ArtSpace Berlin in December 2013. The virtual tectonics accompanied by an interactive noise field mostly capture the fragility of dancers’ movements, showing the beauty of human inaccuracy in the syntax of a programmed dance sequence. The digital sculpture is a representation of individual human interpretation and implies the attributes that contrast human behavior from mechanical perfection. A custom algorithm weighs in-coming datasets from the choreography and creates different tectonics and subdivisions that rep-resent persistence and change at the same time, like one dancer subjectively interprets the sound/music/directions in his/her performance differently. The audience was tracked and 3dimensionally scanned via Kinect cameras. A Digital representation was created through use of several CAD soft-ware for Post Processing to create a non-representational collage of the whole performance in a phys-ical, 3d-printed model. The sculpture captures the motion of the visitors as well as the music played by Berlin based Label Now//We//Bar and directly influenced the 3D model, which was printed and handed out to the visitors of the event.

Lap, Twist, KnotAuthor: James Forren, Aziza Asatkhojaeva, Liam Guitard, Amber Kilborn, Ryan Vandervliet

Dalhousie University

Canada

“Lap, Twist, Knot” challenges traditional ideas of the body’s role in digital practice. The body is normally positioned as a passive spectator inhabiting complex geometries. Our work challenges this position by actively inserting the body within the building process. In our work “designing complexity” means not just the design of geometric forms, but designing embodied gestures and motions through pattern and algorithm. We use a method of physical computing to wind full scale structures with an advanced structural composite, Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM): choreographing material and environmental forces to arrive at unique, non-predetermined forms. Different details – lap, twist, and knot – create a range of morphological possibilities from fixed points to sliding nodes which demand different human-material interactions. With scale maquettes we explore algorithmic possibilities of this method. For the exhibition, “Designing Complexity,” we developed a new maquette exploring the spatial possibilities of components assembled to form passages. Each component is uniquely formed by a different hand.

Unknown Capitals From Known OrdersAuthor: Jan Cudzik, Robert Juchnevic, Kacper Radziszewski

Poland

It is difficult to say, if we are at the doorstep of Artificial Intelligence emergence. Nevertheless, Machine Learning algorithms are shaping our present life, by augmenting our understanding of the world we live in.The project presents the approach towards computer generated architectural capitals, being an outcome of the preceding experiment. The aim of the conducted research was to explore possibility of “teaching” the algorithm to generate three-dimensional capitals based on the given examples of different order capitals. As the result of the project, one hundred, previously non-existent, capitals were generated, together creating a catalogue of possible forms. The project explores the future role of a designer being aided by intelligent systems.

_Shift CityAuthor: Alberto de Salvatierra, Christopher Reznich

University of Nevada, Las Vegas School of Architecture; Stoss Landscape Urbanism

USA

Located in Jamaica Bay, New York this project aims to catalyze the shifting nature of indeterminate boundaries, both physical and abstract, that exist across this artificial landscape—engaging with the system of land-making, and mud, in the process. Taking an exploration of sediment, sediment flows and the temporal significance of dredging in the region as a departure point, these phenomena where used to understate a new mode of city-making. Data sources disagree on the precise location of where land meets water—or even what is land and what is water—thereby translating what is usually under-stood as a binary into a gradient. This investigation generated a landform that results from a GPS-guid-ed, scripted dredge operation that incorporates Stokes Law, which determines deposition rates of par-ticles in suspension by correlating mass and flow rate. This created a system that sorts and classifies sediment by modulating volume, depth and location of these dredged landforms. By conceiving of land itself as a fluid and preserving only a simple set of rules, our scheme correspondingly evolves and mutates, remaining in a constant state of shift.

BatwingAuthor: Paul Clemens Bart, Marvin Bratke

The BatWing sculpture is conceived as a concept for a triple periodic minimal surface to be construct-ed from single load bearing stripes. As the piece rises at the center of the exhibition, expressing tensile forces along the way, a juxtaposition is revealed between the elements’ coloration strategy. The play on the curvature of the surfaces varies perception, allowing the sculpture to be read in multiple ways while experiencing it from different angles. The assembly logic partitions the base minimal batwing surface, which is relaxed before via physical simulation, to express local forces and curvature logic inside the structure. On the tracks of Frei Otto the piece is exploring extensive curvature to create load bearing elements based on the applied physical tension of the mountings. A performative ornament is introduced that gives the visitor information of the varying forces inside the structure, while the stripe morphology, which color scheme is inspired by ship camoflage, gives information about the curvature graph of the alligning triangles of the mesh structure as well informing about the assembly meth-od. The assembly is further facilitated through indexing the overlapping flaps and the unique color scheme. Each one of the 120 elements is unique in geometry and color, so that the sculpture can only be assemble in one way.

EphemerisAuthor: Paul Clemens Bart, Marvin Bratke, Alexander Grasser

Imaginary - Math Creations

Germany

Capture your personal memory in a unique piece of jewelery. Ephmeris is a generative jewelery line, custom fabricated and designed through interaction with your whole body. The created rings become a memoir of your interactions. A highly personalized peace that is unique and intimate. Each person can capture their digital fingerprint through the application of a custom written algorithm that let’s you interact with a virtual ring inside a 3dimensional environment. The resulting jewelery is highly unique and fabricated through mass customized 3d printing in several high quality materials as silver and various tones of gold. Every piece is an intimate representation of one’s own interaction that frees the design process. This bottom up approach aims towards a new design philosophy aimed towards a pro - sumer society, where the designer is not superimposing his creations to the user, but rather giving access to a widely aplicable toolset.

FlexiSPOT is the form-active structure made out of elements with low stiffness connected in that way to achieve high stiffness of whole structure. These structures have important role in architectural practice since they are thin, elegant, lightweight and have low price of construction compared to the distance that can be spanned or area that can be covered. Form-active structures can also be utilized as a skeleton for tensile structures or as a framework or armature for thin shell structures. FlexiSPOT is made of GFRP rods connected with plastic zip ties. There are primary rods creating basic gridshell and secondary rods in form of rings placed in area between primary roads as elements for stiffening.

Sculpting PorosityAuthor: Marko Jovanović, Marko Vučić

Sculpting porosity represents a study of robotic hot-tool fabrication performed on foamed polysty-rene blocks. The innovative approach that differs from similar applications done so far (application of hot-wire forks) stems from the fact that the hot-tool takes a form of a needle. In such a manner, it becomes possible to fabricate holes inside of polystyrene blocks, which hot-wire forks as tools are not capable of. Furthermore, by implementing industrial robots it becomes possible to fabricate the holes on curved surfaces more efficiently than by using a CNC milling machine, due to robots dexterity and various tool orientation. Finally, an application of such porous structures can benefit architectural con-cepts such as insolation and air driven design as well as similar semi open envelopes.

The Spot is a new premium multi brand chain of sporting goods store, which currently has three retail spaces in Belgrade and Novi Sad. When working on the interior design, the aim of architects from Modelart Architects and the Digital Design Center was to create a dynamic, modern and distinctive space tailored to customers that create their own style and identity. In the intake zone of each of the three stores the network of triangular elements represents the geometrical form of the parametric modeling, and then was produced using digital fabrication (CNC). The design is based on two key words: dynamics and identity. On the one hand, the form is associated with movement and sport, in accordance with the use of space. On the other hand, this structure is the visually dominant element of space, which creates identity and recognition. Triangular scheme was chosen because of its flexibility and adaptability to different areas, while preserving the concept and recognition. In accordance with this, the material was selected, it fits perfectly to the concept. Triangular elements were cut out of HDF board with the brushed copper finish (HPL boards), and then connected to an organic form. Reflective copper triangles combined with the backlight at the same time emphasizes the modern, youthful spirit, but also elegance and timeless values.

The Pavilion combines tessellation design logic with friction fit connection system that does not need glue or mechanical fasteners. Pavilion form is a result of structural form finding process with Rhi-noVault tool. Pavilion form is geometrically optimized via EvoluteTools with ballpacking optimizationalgorithm in order to get torsion-free nodes and equilateral triangle look. On the other side Connectors are distributed at the mid-edge of the triangles, providing hexagonal pattern on the overall shape. Addi-tionally openings are distributed on such way to gradually provide vistas from enclosed space.

Nomad – behavioural assemblyAuthor: Paul Clemens Bart, Marvin Bratke, Flavia Ghirotto Santos, Dmytro Aranchii,

Iris Jiang

noMad proposes a behavioural fabrication system that marks a shift from built environment as a fi-nite lifecycle construct to autonomous, non- finite and real-time solutions to adapt dynamically to the demands of its environment. In a self-assembling fabrication approach of ‚negotiated space‘, noMadaims to enable architecture with a sensory system, localizing decision making by self-aware unit to unit communication instead of a deterministic, superimposed building plan. Anchored in the world of self-structuring polyhedra, noMad is based on principles of syner- getics, the study of geometry in transformation and the impact of a local change on its global systems behaviour: a single unit can autonomously change shape, shifting its state by a simple rotational translation from one polyhedra to the other. Hereby, noMad is operating on distinct scales of (collective) intelligence and autonomy, each autonomously self-assembling to the next higher order of organisation – from a highly mobile, nomadic state to high population spatial configurations. noMad proposes a system that can self-regu- late and adapt, react to outside influences and demands and encourages both interaction and com-munication.

Collaborators: Andrijana Kovačević, Katarina Spasić, Andrija Mihelčić


Urban Planning

Serbia

Curved wall is result of the ongoing research for design and manufacturing of freeform architectural panels with thick planar sheet materials. Fabrication of such structures are often based on subtractive manufacturing method (such as CNC milling or hotwire cutting) which is a time consuming and labori-ous process. Curved wall utilizes cost-efficient design-to-fabrication approach based on a kerf bending strategy to form planar sheet materials into developable panel strips that approximates given surface. Kerf bending is the simplest and quickest method for bending materials, based on creating series of cuts (kerfs) in a close proximity in order to weaken the material in places and make it flexible. Presented method can be applied to wood-based or gypsum boards, widely used for interior wall finishing.

Urban Planning

Serbia

Igloo represents a light self-supporting shell structure made out of 267 interconnecting foamed poly-styrene elements that are fabricated by using robotic hotwire cutting. A self supporting overarching structure is modeled according to the traditional shape of igloos. The importance of implementing light shell structures in contemporary architectural practice can best be seen through scaled models in the form of pavilions or ephemeral structures, where the main feature of using little material in order to span larger distances is noticeable and effective. Foamed polystyrene is used as a material, keeping in mind its lightweight properties and the ease of sculpting and fabricating the structure’s elements. The initial igloo shape is divided into smaller elements for effective fabrication and assembly process. An industrial robot with a hotwire tool is used for cutting the foamed polystyrene blocks into the final elements that are assembled into a finished structure afterwards.

Presented structure is part of the fair stand which used flat plywood elements in a unusual way in order to host visitors in comfortable and warm space. Elements are both wall sculptures and benches where visitors can take the rest and get information. Parametric algorithm was created to vary the fluidity of the shape, and optimization of material used. Benches are CNC cut, fabricated out of 15mm thick plywood slices, while wall sculptures are formed out of extended every third bench slice.

Foram – water purification vesselAuthor: Paul Clemens Bart, Marvin Bratke

with studioDE: Christian Tschersich

LAGI Land Art Generator Initiative, USA

Germany

Foram is an ecological concept to produce fresh water from sea water which can be scaled to local needs. Hence the vessel can be applied globally wherever there is a need for fresh water and also is maneuverable which allows to bring Foram quickly into areas with an urgent need for fresh water. Although conceived for the coastline of Los Angeles, Foram has a strong global relevance. California has been experiencing serious drought and water scarcity over the last years. The state is entering the fourth year of a record-breaking drought creating an extremely parched landscape. In this context, Foram is a prototype that aims at meeting the need of sustainable management of the water resource and at the same time creating awareness by creating a usable piece of transformable architecture in front of Santa Monica’s coastline. The nomadic, hydrodynamic vessels become a showcase and inter-connected learning platform for water purification processes and raise awareness for free access to drinking water worldwide. The design of the raft is an innovative scientific experiment dedicated to set investigation fields as much innovative too. It is a “clean” vessel, of a new generation, a floating purifi-cation station, a tool of ecologic promotion, dedicated to sensitize the populations..

Spatial forms created by time extrusion of moving objectsAuthor: Srđan Marković, Marija Obradović

BSc, digital artist, UI/UX Designer; Faculty of Civil Engineering, University Of Belgrade

Serbia

The idea for this design came from investigation of forms created as “time imprint” of moving 2D and 3D objects through space, while simultaneously changing their transformations: translation, rotation, scaling, etc. The movement develops along a path that can be either assigned or random. In this manner, the movement, only possible with the time component, remains “frozen” in the form of a solid model. Hence, we may assume time as a modelling tool, which connects and unites successive move-ments of an object into a whole. The procedure in question is visualized with Blender 3D animation andmodeling tools. The render examples visualise time based extrusion of the object’s random transfor-mations in 3D space. The transformations are randomly generated and controlled by noise function. In order to examine the possibilities of such a creating of spatial forms for more interesting results, we start from a 2D figure (snow flake), via elementary 3D figure (cube), and then examine how the form is enriched by introducing more complex figures as generatrices, for example concave polyhedron (CbP II-8), or a group of objects. For the procedure itself, we adopt a path which can be the simplest one (straight line, circle), or more complex (with curves, angles or nodes).

LAMBDA collects results of research going deeply into digital workflows and computational systems of cellular automata, dealing with simple, rule based logics of growth and geometry generation and both observation and parameter based evaluation. Aim of the study was to develop algorithmic strat-egies of control for complex self - organizing systems through minimal input or rules. Through pre-diction, observation and numerical evaluation of total system behaviour and geometrical output the system independently adapts it’s input parameters (rules of growth or initial generation) and modifies the geometric structure based on it’s statistical data and given design goals (stable structure reduc-tion, combining in clusters, ect.).

YEAR 2000: the Genetic Architectures Research Group & Office and the Biodigital Architecture Master was founded at ESARQ, the School of Architecture of UIC Barcelona (Universitat Internacional de Cata-lunya), by Alberto T. Estévez, Director also of the Architecture PhD of UIC Barcelona, and Director of iBAG - iNSTITUTE OF BiODiGITAL ARCHITECTURE & GENETICS: the scene where we research, teach, work, to create architecture and design, with geneticists focused on architectural objectives, and ar-chitects researching the fusion of biological and digital techniques. Exploring through interdisciplinary endeavours the frontiers of architecture and design: where genetics meets biology and the digital, applied to architecture and design. The project of the image was made as part of the Master and Group research. It demonstrates a computational workflow of weighted-graph representations and mesh relaxation processes which generate geometrical configurations of stripes, analogous to the skin patterns emerging from biological morphogenesis of reaction-diffusion (RD) mechanisms, as in a self-organizing system in equilibrium. Skin patterns in fabrication open a new field for interdisciplinary investigation. Here, three digital fabrication techniques (viz. CNC milling, laser cutting and 3D printing), integrate material properties, tolerances, constraints, capacities, machine limitations and interactivity for the construction of a shell structure and its landscape.

University of Belgrade, Faculty of Architecture

Serbia

Grid Adaptable Parametric (GAP) approach was used for the development of green façade of 2nd prize winning design for “Survey competition for the development of urban-architectural conceptual solution for the reconstruction of the city block at the Zelenom vencu”, organized by Stattwerk company at the end of 2017. In accordance with the competition task, former Beobanka building was redesigned in a green, sustainable, energy-efficient, bio-inspired high-rise. Intricate design problem was treated through the process which included analysis and harmonization of divergent technical, structural, functional and aesthetics demands and constraints. The bioapropration was concept underlying GAP approach. It was carried out by simulating the process from the nature using attractor-based com-putational algorithm as a tool for design exploration, that enabled us generating multiple solutions to architectural design problems. The result was recognizable organic form of the geometrically complex GAP façade structure. A specific dialogue had to be established between the new exoskeletal façade grid structure and existing orthogonal matrix of the building’s structure, new functional organization, views, insolation (passive energy efficiency demand), and aesthetical considerations. The proposed intervention provided revitalization of the existing building, improving the context and additionally ac-centuating this visual benchmar.

Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad

Serbia

Architecture, as a never ending source of ideas for shaping the interior and exterior, demands the development of novel methods for geometric form generation being thus the everlasting topic. Now-adays we are witnesses that architectural objects, in regard to high degree of computer design and material technology development, are realizing as complex geometrical structures which in past times remained only as the mere desire of the designer. Focal-directorial surfaces are created on the basis of the specific set of rules, being a locus of points in space with the constant either sum or product of distances from fixed foci and line directors. Herewith we present some examples among the vast vari-ety of shapes, successfully created by CAGD, however sometimes difficult to fabricate with traditional construction procedures. The exhibition showpieces of this idea of geometrical and design treatment are the 3D printed physical models of some representative focal - directorial surfaces.

Serbia

This work is based on Miljan Stevanović artistic research, perception and presentation of the two na-tures. The idea of a dual world, the real world and the world beyond the borders, and their interdepen-dence realized using traditional and new methods of expression. The real world presented as simple drawings, and the other part of nature, the nature outside of the borders is stored on the internet. Postmodernist techno-esthetics work with virtual or cyber space is based on the belief that all natureis introduced into the cybernetic system of production of the new reality. Visualized and generated space like this allow us to see the way the human eye itself can’t see, our mind selects and perceived reality selectively, without the width of the observation. Computer and artificial intelligence itself per-ceive reality as perfection. Cyberspace is a virtual reality and represents an artificial reality. The medi-um between the real and imaginary world would be applications. The application will scan the draw-ings, and after scanning application will find the second, digital part of the work stored on the internet which would be projected over the drawings, blending virtual and real space.

3D Body Architecture Project Author: Ana Mikić D’Apuzzo

Studio d’arte e architettura

Switzerland

The nature of the project “3DBody Architecture” is highly artistic, based on architecture complexity, by fusing architecture with human body and by using architectural tools, resulting in the symbol of architecture as human body shelter. It is imagined and modeled as a 10×10×10 m mirrored room with integrated gigantic human bodies. Architectural tools and 3D body scanning techniques, computation-al 2D, 3D CAD, MAX design, animation, ergonomics, etc. are used for its creation. 3D body scanning techniques are based on complex geometrical and mathematical rules (triangulation). This data is perfectly melted with the created architectural shell formed from repetition of translucent, reflecting columns and beams. Similar material characteristics are applied to human body in order to create atmospheres of infinity and intrigue. The project evolved in last 7 years as fusion of film, fashion, art, exhibited in “Tokyo Robotic Institute AIST”, LACDA Digital Art Center Los Angeles, music performance with composer Christopher Horstkamp, New York Fashion Week, ASVOF Film Festival Paris etc. Future plans for the project are realizations of art installations in real size under the initiative of “Ascona Art Museum” who recognized its potential as an interactive space through which people can walk and enjoy it’s deepness and complexity.

Taking the SoundAuthor: Carina Carmo, Maria Lygia

UFRJ / PROARQ - Graduate Program in Architecture

Brazil

The project explores the potential of the ellipse – as a remarkable curve of acoustics – to create a formal system composed of elliptic surfaces of revolution. The goal is to create a logic of control and conduction of sound through a structure that can be extended through the free choice of future directions of growth. Increase the possibility of solutions without compromising the initial structure.The formal construction process responds to the issues of a specific space-time. However, over time the spatial needs become and crystallized constructed form needs to be rethought so that it can ad-just to the medium. Learning to deal with the unpredictability of the future is one of the interests that motivate studies on complexity applied to the constructed form; since the reductionist solutions make the structure easily obsolete. To overcome the crisis of the constructed and crystallized object, one believes in the evolution of the space systems. The practical essay uses parametric and algorithmic tools for the production of formal relations that result in spatial systems capable of growing and de-creasing, in the presence of medium pressures, without losing the internal relations that guarantee the good dispersion of the sound.

Spiral polyhedra in sphere and cylinderAuthor: Hellmuth Stachel

Vienna University of Technology

Austria

This is a new type of polyhedra with hexagonal faces in a spiral pattern and inscribed in a sphere. For covering the whole sphere, infinitely many hexagons would be necessary, but a finite number of hex-agonal faces with three faces meeting at every vertex contradicts Euler’s formula. Most of polyhedral approximations of a sphere like Buckminster Fuller’s Geodesic Domes have symmetries, since derived from regular polyhedra. The new polyhedra have no symmetry and a rather complex structure: no two faces are congruent. Only the angles between the circumcircles are the same at every second vertex. Hexagonal faces are rare at polyhedra, since the request for coplanarity of six points is a rather strong condition. The helical structure of spiral polyhedral origates from planar spiral patterns in plant mor-phogenesis. Recenty K. Myrianthis (Athens) proved that the Voronoi cells of a spiral grid are, in general, concyclic hexagons. Hence, stereographic projection onto a sphere gives a spiral polyhedron with hex-agonal faces, depending on more than 3 design parameters. From the view point of hyperbolic geom-etry, the presented polyhedra are inscribed in cylinders and preserved under screw motions. Thus they are hyperbolic analogues of cylindrical spiral polyhedra with mutually congruent quadrangular faces. Such polyhedra are examples of rigid origami, since their development is even continuously flexible. Keywords: spiral polyhedron, spherical polyhedron with hexagonal faces, spiral grid, Voronoi cell, cylin-dric polyhedron with congruent quadrangular faces.

“Kanda Lampa” is a series of product designs parts which are the result of student’s work and explo-ration within the five days workshop “Digital fabrication”. The aim was to explore various 2d pattern and 3d forms in order to create interesting lighting and spatial relationships, inspired by parametric and digital design. The final lamp models are made of one type of material ( Fedrigoni paper ) and connectors ( plastic binding screws ), using the CAD software “Rhinoceros” for the digital design and a laser cutter for the digital production. The plan for the assembly was designed like a brochure and the packaging was also an integral part of the product design. Models, brochures and packaging were finally presented in an exhibition.

Reciprocal frame structure in non-standard geometry design objectAuthor: Zlata Tošić

University of Niš, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture

Serbia

The Reciprocal Frame (RF) is 3D structure composed of three or more pieces of sticks. Generally speaking, the rods are placed together to form a closed circuit called an RF unit, while multiple RF units can be further assembled to form large RF structures. Although the structures are made up of simple elements, no central support is required for static maintenance of the structure. This object is designed using RF structures with hexagonal units. The tessellation is made by shearing wooden modules for half side of the unit. Main geometry used for shell is hyperbolic paraboloid intersected with elliptical cylinder. The structural system is transferring loads from modules to large double curved elliptic beam trough columns to the foundation beam on the ground. RF shell is covered with triangular panels. Half of them are perforated for the daylight illumination and all are connected to the inside part of the units, so modules could be placed outside. Connections for modules are made with bolts, but steel sheets and wilding are used for panels and steel sub-construction. This construction represents contemporary complex geometry, form and structural system. The purpose of the objects can be var-ious: exhibition hall, greenhouse or inter amphitheater.

“Parametric Kirigami” represents the results of student’s work and exploration of digital fabrication techniques. The aim was to explore a large number of shapes and patterns and to create an interesting spatial relationship inspired by parametric and digital design. Kirigami, a traditional Japanese cutting and bending technique, was an initial inspiration, and students at the workshop improved their skills in parametric modeling and knowledge in digital fabrication. The final models which consist of two types of paper ( 250 gr and 300 gr, black and yellow ) were cut out by laser cutter and blended by hand. Also, brochures were part of the final product and the exhibition.

The project “Folded skins” represents the results of student’s work and exploration of digital fabrication techniques. Students made models out of paper in the scale of 1:1, using a laser cutter. Such elements are very interesting for architectural studies since they represent experimental prototypes of facade el-ements. In the course students studied and modeled a design that is based on the logic and technique of folding thin planar materials in order to create a spatial structure and to apply it as a parametric modular which were made by digital parametric modeling tools and laser cutting.

Swimming pools complex- Shell PearlsAuthor: Davor Filipović


Serbia

Swimming pools complex is contained from three connected objects for the inside pools, and big pla-teau on which are open swimming pools. All three parts of this object are revolving paraboloids, and two are continued with cylinders. Construction of shell is contained from reinforced concrete, which carry massive panels. The object has almost on each side opens, and glass roofs with possibility for closing, the whole interior is illuminated. The form of object is inspired with sea shells. Dominant color is blue on the surface which are in the base of elliptic shape, and whole construction of the shell is white with big elliptic glass opens. Each part of the object is obtained by rotation parabola around its axis.

Tower ‘S (residential business center)Author: Aleksandar Đorđević


Serbia

Form object that is shown here is a helicoid that differs from the standard helicoid according to the way it was obtained and by its unusual form. The structure which is shown here is formed of three helicoids, of which the central helicopter is smaller, and which represents the core of the object. While the other two helicoids, which are at the same time bigger, are completely identical, and in combination with a central helicoid give the final form of the object. Helicoid is obtained from coils. The coil rotates around its axis in order to obtain the the necessary form to obtain the final shape. The coils are then multiplied to obtain a final object ie. final form. The same method was applied to the other two major helicoids. When the final form of the object is obtained other cell elements of the structure are inserted. In this way various objects of different purposes and functions can be formed. These spirals rotate around their axis until it forms a resulting form of the object. The structure of the building is completely made of steel, while the facade of the building is entirely made of glass panels. This construction rep-resents a contemporary and complex geometric form, as well as a complex constructive system. After the conceptual solution this building has the purpose of a commercial - business center, which would represent the dominant object in place where it would be built.

Freeform structure falseworkAuthor: Stefan Stojčić

Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad

Serbia

In regards to the name of the exhibition, a design solution for construction of freeform structures is presented. Namely, in recent years there has been a big advancement in designing freeform structures, but the construction process has been falling behind. With this physical model a falsework system which could be used during the construction of such structures is demonstrated. The falsework is im-portant for two reasons: as a guide for following the desired shape and as a support during the building process until the structure becomes self-supporting. A parametric approach is proposed which gen-erates a demountable system for a given freeform structure. The parametric definition automatically generates the information for both parts of the falsework system - the size of the linear elements and the digital models of the nodes. For the purpose of showing the design, a typology of freeform shells is used where the form is shaped by defining free boundaries that are balanced by continuous tension rings.

The aim was to interpret various forms of traditional ornaments in a new way, inspired by the digital age. Digital ornament rep-resents the juxtaposition of traditional local patterns which represent the genius loci and the latest digi-tal technologies used for innovative and unique reinterpretation. Various materials (cardboard and XPS boards ) as well as software tools for digital fabrication are combined to fabricate the final models.

Emotions Through SpaceAuthor: Danilo Nikić, Siniša Jovanović

Faculty of Technical Sciences Novi Sad

Through this project we are performing an experimental art research through the digital medium of a custom virtual reality headset system. We provide an immersive multimedia experience with a goal of leading the audience through a series of archetypal emotional cycles present as patterns in human life and interaction, just using the minimal possible form, color, light and shape within scenery and animation. The audience is guided through series of emotions and the importance of their temporal arrangement. Starting at a point of blank empty space, the audience is introduced to the uncertainty of finding one’s path and the instability with frightening downfall of a wrong decision. One finds a grip in life among comfort, safety, warmth and beauty, rather than wandering into the unknown darkness.The stars, a dream, beauty. A wish every one of us desires and strives to its heights. Reaching it we finally feel light, warm and at a place, where we are meant to be, where we want to be lost, away from instability of reality and frightening decisions. Our safe haven, our illusion. The neglect the past, and the future. We ignore the consequences of our actions and release armageddon upon those symbols that brought us pain. Losing reality we lose the only pillar actually keeping us from final fall in the darkness.The abyss, a place of absence of lights and paths, a home for our abandoned consciousness, cold and wet, suffocating. Only by facing it we can find lasting warmth giving us strength not to fear falling down again and again. As we walk, another takes our place at blank empty space.

Digital Design Center is founded in 2014 at Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad, Serbia. Digital Design Center is dedicated to develop and investigate application of recently developed technologies in architecture, urban-ism, and design. With the rapid expansion of digital technologies and simultaneous adjustment of industrial tools and techniques, architecture become perceivable in the new way that was not possible before. Many opportunities that consider anal-ysis, study, design and product architectural structures exists today, and new ones constantly appear. Our goal is to obtain, define, and solve current architectural problems, concentrating to the fields of architectural geometry, robots in archi-tecture, digital fabrication and production, applications for 3d modeling, surveying and visualization, programming, and other approaches. website: www.arhns.uns.ac.rs; e - mail: [email protected]
