CAD / CAM Seminar, Prof. Lisa Iwamoto
Team : Veronica de la Rosa / Will Oren / Yukiko BowmanThis seminar explored the potential of CATIA's Digital Project software to design and fabricate a parametrically responsive structure based on the proliferation of a singular baseline cell. Our team pursued the extruded hexagonal lattice, commonly found in ocean-borne monocoque organisms such as radiolario.
The project was sited in the air intake area behind the CED library, striking for its varied atmospheric conditions and its unused, left-over quality. Attributes concerning sunlight, wind, and upward views demanded a porous structural skin that could mediate between interior and exterior environments. After initially instantiating the sukitube skin with the null-condition cell structure, the apertures and density of the cell field could be adjusted accordingly.
