This project was made more as a programming exercise intending to transpose the effect accomplished by Zbigniew Rybczynki in his film “The Fourth Dimension” to real-time video. read more
Skylar Tibbits: Tesselion is a project by Skylar Tibbits which proposes a system of flat panel tessellation derived from complex surfaces to enable ease in constructability and a directly evolved spatial environment through lighting, programmatic adaptation and structural simplicity. Each panel’s uniqueness is afforded by the efficiency of digital fabrication while coded parametric relationships allow an emergent structural efficiency, from a single panel to the complete adaptability of the surface as a whole. read more
Fractal Table is a table piece which derives from studies into fractal growth patterns. Treelike stems grow into smaller branches until they get very dense towards the top. Fractal Table, developed by Platform Wertel Oberfell together with Matthias Bär, is impossible to manufacture unless rapid prototyped. via platform read more
The Umbra Concept Store opened its doors on June 1st, 2007 in downtown Toronto to customers and design enthusiasts alike. The space showcases the largest assortment of Umbra and U+ Studio Collection products. To enhance your shopping experience, the store displays unique, limited edition artwork and a functioning design space where you can interact with designers at work. Recently named Project of the Year at the September 2007 Association of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario (ARIDO) awards, the store is hard to miss from the outside and extraordinarily dynamic on the inside. read more
[C]space is the winning competition entry in the ‘AADRLTen’ Pavilion project, an advanced technology concrete structure that will be erected in Bedford Square,London. The AADRL10 exhibition will open on the 22 February 2008 and the Pavilion will officialy open on 13 March 2008 along with the release of the DRL10 Book. The structure is being designed and developed by Alan Dempsey and Alvin Huang with Adams Kara Taylor and members of the DRL.
The intelligence embedded within the geometry and material of the skin will allow it to thermally control the atmosphere of both the interior and exterior of the building. Aligned with capacitance sensors, the larger units absorb, retain, and then distribute heat evenly throughout the spaces. The design of the skin is interrelated to the program. Select cells diffuse light in hypersensitive areas and evolve into subtle photovoltaic cells which convert solar energy into electricity. read more
These are renderings of the skin system deployed over the facade target surface. The images depict the skin system isolated, peeled from the rest of the building volume. These were done in Maya. read more
