Machining PRAXIS in Architecture 2

Description

Afshin Koupaei Architecture, Digital Production scientific seminar (SEW), 2.0 ECTS, 2.0 semester hours, course number S04513 Description This course emphasizes on the use of advanced machining technologies in architectural design and making. Utilizing machining not only as means for making but also as an apparatus for design is at the core of Machining PRAXIS in Architecture. Students will put to use the knowledge gathered from the individual experiments of MPA-1 for the design, development, and making of a real-scale pavilion. the course timeline has 5 sections: 1- Design phase: individual students or teams of students will propose initial ideas and designs for the final pavilion, based on the achievements of MPA-1. These ideas will be eventually evaluated and one idea will be selected as the goal of the entire class. The teams will be assigned for further development of the design and details. 2- Workshops and tutorials: Diving into advanced CAD/CAM techniques and the processes of incorporating robots in the architectural making, students will prepare for the making of the pavilion. This phase will cover specific topics necessary for the making of the chosen idea. 3- Setup: teams will run initial tests to cope with the issues of making, finalizing the design, and calibrating the settings of the machines. 4- Making: students will make all the individual parts of the pavilion over this phase. 5- Assembly.
