Stressed Skins

    Stressed Skins was an installation designed and fabricated by the Centre for Information Technology and Architecture (CITA) as part of its ongoing Complex Modelling project. The installation design and fabrication processes were motivated by a number of interrelated research interests. The first of these was the investigation of multi-scalar modelling techniques and an aim to better […]

Mesh Subdivision: Loop and Catmull-Clark

  Computational designers who work with meshes in Rhino + Grasshopper will inevitably be familiar with Giulio Piacentino’s brilliant Weaverbird plug-in. It provides a great variety of outstanding tools for creating, managing and subdividing meshes. Using mesh subdivision and smoothing approaches allows for designers to start from coarse geometries and then rapidly transform them into fluid and organic shapes. […]

The Rise

  The central conceptual driver of “The Rise” is the idea of a growing architecture: it was designed for “ALIVE – Designing with Living Systems”, an exhibition curated by Carole Collett and held at the Fondation EDF in Paris in 2013. The installation has its own internal growth patterns that both guide and are guided by its composite material […]
