sin(WAVE)

Some images of the last (lost) competition entry for the London Tent Art Fund Pavilion 2009. sin(WAVE) is defined by two 5-degree surfaces which are modulating respectively the structural canopy and a lounge area at ground level. The surfaces are generated through a network of sine/cosine curves which are shaping a tripod structure.



















sin(WAVE) addresses the pavilion requirement to negotiate between inside/outside qualities by creating a provisional structure which fluidly supply repair with its roof while offering reconfigurable settings with movable partitions (lounge-scape area, vertical wall..).















































The grid shell is formed by, respectively, 55 longitudinal and 25 transversal ribs each of which can be easily fabricated with a laser cut machine. Above an internal shot of the 1:25 laser cut model. Special thanks to Andrew Payne for its grasshopper definition for waffle structural systems.

AAST 2009

With my great pleasure I've been invited to AAST 2009.
"(...) aast is a group of events intended to spread Generative Computational Design (..) aast is a survey of researches on new generations of architects oriented to understand the huge transformation of contemporary architecture perspectives".

The event, promoted by CASARTARC, has been curated and organized by Lorena Alessio, Andrea Graziano, Davide Del Giudice. On April 7th-8th I'll be taking part of the exhibition and the conference in Turin with a bunch of young (talented) designers. Later this year i will also give a three days design workshop with A.Papeschi (Zaha Hadid Architects). I'll keep you posted.

A big thank to Andrea and Davide for the fantastic effort and passion they put into it.
