Mash up

Though robots are expected to replace humans in the factories of the future, Arup’s report suggests human-robot collaboration will be an important element of manufacturing. 3D printing continues to revolutionise the way things are being made across industries on a global scale. The increasing acceptance of 3D printing or additive manufacturing technologies will allow manufacturing to be more mobile and dispersed. 

The University of Melbourne’s Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning officially opened in December 2014, praised for its spatial openness and mix of light and space, which is enhanced by use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools in factory design, planning and management. Incorporating systems that streamline the production of these items can result in greater productivity and ergonomics for businesses. At the heart of this design is a four storey atrium dominated by a plywood-clad hanging studio and a 1,500m² mesh balustrade that forms a full-height screen within the atrium.


Factories will be designed with greater focus on consumer experience, as they expect closer insight into how products are manufactured, especially at a customised level. Despite its complexity, the additive manufacturing and digital technologies made working with the complicated geometry of the hanging studio and atrium slab profiles very easy.

Textures and Electroliquid Aggregation


Chosen Textures


Light Texture mostly used in the majority of the building.

 
Medium texture used for the detailed elements and railings.

Dark texture used primary in the flooring as tiles.

Electroliquid Aggregation

Achieving more by doing less underlies urban design whilse the space is not constrained by the interor form of the building but instead shapes it.

A space is not constrained by area inside the building, a space is shaped by it -Olson Kundig
Ideals of ephermaeralisation; "doing more and more with less and less until you can do everything with nothing" -Buckminster Fuller

Axonomertrics







EXPERIMENT 2 CONCEPTS



Olson Kundig


  1. Architecture is the intersection between the poetic and the rational
  2. Contradictory objectives; open to environment, yet closed to create privacy
  3. A space is not constrained by area inside the building, a space is shaped by it
  4. Architecture is a movement and it transforms its surroundings
  5. References homes as primitive places
  6. Architecture must be as intimate as a family member


Buckminster Fuller


  1. There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you its going to be a butterfly
  2. Love is metaphysical gravity
  3. Ideals of ephemeralisation; "doing more and more with less and less until you can do everything with nothing
  4. Simplicity is the true measure of complexity
  5. Reorganising the environment for prosperity
  6. Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment
