CBA (MIT) activities. Rapid-prototyping tools

Related CBA activities across a wide range of length scales are investigating the foundations of fabrication in locally encoding global structures. Macroscopically, a "shape grammar" for wood frame construction was developed to represent the design of a building in coded joints:which can be assembled from press-fit panels produced with two-dimensional rapid-prototyping tools. This approach promises to reduce the cost of construction in time, labor, and materials, and even more importantly to enable rapid customization of low-cost construction that is responsive to local needs [Sass, 2005; Sass and Botha, 2006].

Shape Grammars

At one point, mostly due to the Master's work of Miranda, I became interested in shape grammars. I wrote a little program called xform3d that allows a user to dynamically manipulate 3D shape grammars; kind of a less elegant, hard to use version of Miranda's program, Shaper2D. Below are a few of the nice images to come out of early versions of xform3d.

Shape Grammar

The Shape Grammar created for this project consists of both diagrammatic and parametric rules.

1. The diagrammatic set of Shape rules (S) was based on:
. a generic 2D angle or corner with a fixed aspect ratio.

. a bounding box with four central openings to form an initial shape and to enclose various subshapes. http://flightplay.net/design/shape_grammar.html#animation

Workshop: O Pensamento da mão

Introdução à Arquitectura

Este workshop, destinado a um público generalizado (maiores de 15 anos) com algum interesse pela área da arquitectura, pretende introduzir nos participantes alguns dos conceitos e elementos da composição arquitectónica.

Pretende-se desenvolver, além de um crescente gosto pela área da arquitectura, noções básicas de composição, proporção e harmonia.
Os participantes serão levados a explorar criativamente alguns dos conceitos arquitectónicos aqui apreendidos e, através de experimentações, apresentar uma pequena proposta em forma de modelo tridimensional (maqueta).
Esta actividade, que será orientada pelo arquitecto Rui Pereira, é organizada pela Associação Elucid’Arte e conta com os apoios da Câmara Municipal de Setúbal e do RP Atelier. A inscrição é 10€ e estas deverão ser efectuadas através do e-mail elucidarte@gmail.com ou dos telefones 96 722 82 97 e 96 00 02 422. Mais informações em www.elucidarte.blogspot.com.

Data: 2 e 3 de Julho (5.ª e 6.ª feira de manhã)
Orientador: Rui Pereira - Arquitecto e coordenador de um atelier multidisciplinar
Destinatário: Maiores de 15 anos
Local: Casa Bocage, Rua Edmond Bartissol, 12, Setúbal
Preço: 10 euros
