o the principles of crafts than industrial production as they emphasize the wide range of qualities of the materials used and provide higher flexibility and extensive opportunities during the development and production process. With the use of new, integrative ‚digital design and fabrication tools‘ the boundaries between design development and production become increasingly blurred.
In this workshop, students developed their concepts and prototypes of folded structures and towers with semifinished, foldable aluminum composite materials (i.e. AluCoBond®) and cardboard pipes. With a, especially for this workshop developed, Grasshopper 3D (Visual programming for Rhino 3D) definition, the students could immediately realize first ideas as ‚real’ prototypes. With this work flow the students could implement conclusions about material behaviour and properties during manufacturing processes into their digital models in a much faster and direct way. The software directly generates G-Codes (without CAM Software) for various CNC machines based on the 3D model data, which leads to a highly accelerated and tightly focussed prototyping and development process.
The realized prototype structures result from an highly integrative process of hand- and digital-work. Each student developed his own structure by developing a digital tool for form finding (modelling) and fabrication. Every project realization took only 2 weeks from the first sketch or model to the final structure.

d integrity"- connection by tension). The term "Tensegrity" was introduced by famous architect and engineer Richard Buckminster Fuller, whose ideas were developed subsequently by Kenneth Snelson and other researchers.
To creating "Arches" we were inspired by the works of Soviet artist Vyacheslav Koleichuk (in particular, by his design "Standing thread") ,and the University of Tokyo student projects ("Moom pavilion" and "Ninety nine failures pavilion").
We wanted to create a large-scale design which would organize space both within and outside itself (that's why we've chosen the location on one of the two parallel park alleys) and would represent a clear, elegant and robust constructional solution. Also we were keen on the idea of purchasing experience in making manually assembled object, which was elaborated using parametric design techniques (software Rhino+Grasshopper+Kangaroo).
Our arched vault is formed by nineteen parabolic arches. Each arch is made up of eleven rods, fastened with one stretched steel cable, and the shapes of the arches are designed parametrically : on the plan one of the generatrices of the vault has a curved shape, while the other is straight, and the height of each arch is in inverse proportion to its span (the more is span, the less is width ,and vice versa). In the longitudinal direction arches are fastened together with four cables running along the entire length of the vault and descending into the backstays . For the safety of Park visitors backstays were marked with colourful flags.
Wooden handles of the spades 1200 mm long, 30 mm in diameter and galvanized steel cable with a diameter of 2 mm were used for building arches. Arches rest on the wooden beam cross section 100x100 mm, mounted on columnar supports. The beam can also serve as a bench for visitors of the Park, as the distance between arches is enough for it (75 cm).…

deform into rhombic dedocahedrons when they reach equilibrium.
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/CubicClosePacking.html
I was trying to model sphere lattice constrained within a boundary box. When inflated, they would not intersect with each other; they would stay in place; and would be malleable just enough to expand and fill in the gaps in between the spheres.
I started off with the help of this thread here(Thanks for those contributed!). As I understood, there was a bug in Kangaroo2. Solver can't handle more than one item plugged in. So I tried to understand David's Stasiuk's Script and adopted it with a few variations, please see gh file attached.
In the first 5 - I've used David Stasiuk's C# component-variable pressure (posted on June 9, 2015 at 12:25am): 'No. 4.5' being the most successful simulation so far(inflation value is kept very low so that they would not intersect);
although I realised I made some math mistake in setting the close packing grid.(could be checked by plugging voronoi3D to see if the area of the rhombic faces are regular)
No. 6-7 I tried with Kangaroo2 components.
After consulting my tutor(Andrei Jipa)'s help, I realised the following changes could be made:
- The definition posted by David on June 8, 2015 at 4:47pm with constant pressure would've worked better.
- Icosahedrons with WbCatmull(Quad divisions) would result in more even load distribution. With wbloop, vertices more concentrated at poles.
- Load in dir Z could be omitted. Andrei has suggested to use lengths(line) in Kangaroo 2 as 'pressure' instead. And I am trying to improve the grid; and maybe try with David's constant pressure definition. I will keep you guys posted of the progress!
I am new to the parametric world, comments/advice very much appreciated! :) Zhini

he field of digital design, fabrication, emerging technology and makers. the experts spend two weeks in bratislava, developing their research project and at the end of their residency we invite eager and interested people – fellows – to form a think-tank and take part in the pinnacle of the project.the event will be highly experimental and no specific result is guaranteed. the event will be accessible also to people who want to observe and learn, however the purpose of the gathering is not to teach, but rather to experiment, consult, make and network. the rese arch lab is not a tutorial workshop, it’s a platform for common development.

research project
the project questions the current condition of the large scale 3d printing capabilities. while small scale, desktop 3d printers emerge each day with better and better quality of the output, large scale printing is based mostly on low fidelity concrete printing, or in few cases not-so-high-quality metal printing.we will try to develop new solutions for large scale, rapid 3d printing by merging different technologies. those will constitute the main structure of the designed output, while the 3d printing will be seen only as the solidifying agent.we will utilize the kuka robot with an attached abs/pla extruder as the main production tool.
call for fellows
the fellows will join the last 4 days of the research, consult the current state, come up with new ideas and help verify and test the outputs. the fellows are being called for through a portfolio and cv selection process. the exceptional individuals who can both, benefit from and contribute to the project will be selected by mateusz zwierzycki and jan pernecky. no specific number of open positions are available and it is possible that no one will be chosen.
call for trainees
it will be possible to attend the rese arch lab to the people with no expertise or previous experience. they will take a role of observers or trainees. it has to be explicitly stated though, that the event is not meant to teach any specific software or skills and the experiments can fail in achieving an output.
application
to apply send an email at lab@rese-arch.org. the deadline for the submissions is monday, 6 april 2015 at noon 12pm.
costs
the participation fee is fixed 150€ for the fellows and 200€ for the trainees. this covers only the participation at the rese arch lab event. the traveling expenses and accommodation costs need to be covered by the participants themselves.
equipment
various equipment will be available – including 3d printers, 3d scanners, milling machines, laser cutters, vinyl cutters.most of all, rese arch and partners have to their full disposal a robotic arm kuka kr15/2.
the requirements
if you find yourself proficient in: parametric design (viewed as aesthetics), 3d printing, robotics, scripting, architectural geometry, cam technologies or woodworking then the event will be surely interesting for you. at the same time we seek for people with exceptional sense for aesthetics, as the final output will be designed together (not just by the project leader).on the hardware/software side, we need you to bring your own laptop. we will work mainly with rhino/grasshopper.…
