Machining PRAXIS in Architecture 1

Description

Afshin Koupaei Architecture, Digital Production scientific seminar (SEW), 4.0 ECTS, 2.0 semester hours, course number S04297 Description Brief. (Machining PRAXIS in Architecture -1, will explore the applications of Computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines and machining technologies in architectural design and making. The course will cover techniques of machining relevant for architects and processes of assembly. Students will learn how to choose the appropriate materials and machining tools in order to acquire the required end-product quality/accuracy. The course's final project is a 1:1 installation, made of several components. Each student is responsible for designing and making one component. This component should properly fit the rest of the installation. Students of the course will learn how to design in accordance with the potentials and limitations of machining; how to prepare machining files and how to produce the final machined piece while preparing and making the final installation. Extra. Machining Praxis in Architecture and Adaptive Strategies are joining forces this semester to make an interactive installation. Students are encouraged to participate in both courses. It is also possible for students to participate only in one of the respective courses and team up with a student from the other. The final installation will be a responsive/interactive installation. The interaction design and strategies will be discovered and implemented in the Adaptive Strategies course and the general design, adapting to responsive behavior, connections with other components and fabrication will be carried out in the Machining Praxis in Architecture course. More details will be discussed in the kick-off session of both courses. Please visit the Adaptive Strategies seminar page for more information and do not hesitate to contact the course directors if you have further questions. Visit the link for more information.
