The research explores the close correspondence between material properties and assembly systems found in traditional basketry, studied through analytical and laboratory tests, and then implemented through finite element analysis and algorithmic workflow. The goal is to explore how to extend the knowledge gained through a millennial relationship between man and weaving under the perspective of contemporary design and fabrication techniques. In order to do so, a series of computational experiments and simulations have been introduced to highlight the integration of materiality, digital morphogenesis and fabrication. The paper presents a design workflow for the generation of specific geometries related to the elastic nature of the material and the simulation of its behavi...

The research explores the close correspondence between material properties and assembly systems found in the traditional craft of weaving, studied through analytical and laboratory tests, and then implemented through computational design and digital fabrication. The workflow for the generation of specific geometries related to the elastic nature of the material results in the design and fabrication of a selfstanding interior partition with digitally conceived patterns, tuned parametrically to provide structural and screening performance.

Research paper thumbnail of Lightweight 3D Printed Concrete Beams Show an Environmental Promise: A Cradle-to-Grave Comparative Life Cycle Assessment

The existing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies in the field can be criticized for a lack of clearly defined functional units of comparison, especially considering load-bearing structures. This paper investigates the potential environmental benefits of 3DCP over conventional concrete construction in a case study of structural beams based on a cradle-to-grave comparative LCA. Unlike in the existing LCA studies on 3DCP, this paper employs a carbonation model to account for the potential carbon offsetting from the use-stage of 3DP concrete, which showed to be significant for the results. The assessment includes three-beam designs, each analyzed for both prefabrication and on-site construction scenarios. While 3DCP generally has a higher environmental impact due to the larger quantity of cement employed in the proces...

These changing environmental conditions have inevitably created new challenges and demands for mediation of the interaction between the natural and the human-made environments. In response to these challenges, designers are currently moving away from conventional top-down design, towards a nature-inspired approach in search of the underlying principles of morphogenesis and materialization inherent to biological entities. Inscribed in this approach, this paper proposes an innovative design-to-fabrication workflow for the conception of nature-inspired load-responsive skin systems which integrates the use of computational tools, Additive Manufacturing, and material experiments with full-scale prototypes. The design phase employs custom algorithms to determine an optimal material distr...

A pesquisa explora a correspondência entre as propriedades do material e a montagem de sistemas encontrados em cestos trançados tradicionais, estudados através de ensaios analíticos, de laboratório e, realizando análise de elementos finitos com processo de trabalho algorítmico. O objetivo é explorar como ampliar o conhecimento obtido através de uma relação milenar entre o homem e a tecelagem sob a perspectiva do design contemporâneo sob as técnicas de fabricação. Com essa finalidade, foi introduzida uma série de experimentos computacionais e simulações para destacar a integração da materialidade, morfogênese digital e fabricação. O artigo apresenta um processo de design para a geração de geometrias específicas relacionadas com a natureza flexível do material e a simulação do seu comportamento com base nas condições ambientais variáveis. Os resultados deste método mostram o projeto e a fabricação de uma divisória, que destaca as propriedades de padrões digitalmente concebidos, definidos parametricamente para oferecer resistência estrutural e anteparo visual. A interação entre técnicas digitais e artesanais para materiais naturais representa um campo promissor para diminuir o impacto ambiental da indústria da construção. No entanto, novos sistemas de montagem, tais como a tecelagem com madeira parecem ainda não ter sido explorados em termos de características performativas e tectônicas que destacam importantes descobertas quando abordadas como um processo de design e fabricação orientada ao material.

As an answer to the increasing problem of scarcity of resources, the presented research exploits the potential of Fused Deposition Modelling in the production of a lightweight load-responsive cellular lattice structure at the architectural scale. The article offers an extensive insight into the computational processes involved in the design, engineering, analysis, optimization and fabrication of a material-efficient, fully 3D printed, lattice structure. Material, structure and manufacturing features are integrated within the design development in a comprehensive computational workflow. The article presents methods and results while discussing the project as a material-efficient approach to complex structures.
