Enkoping parametric urbanism, SPUD group work

30-Jan-10

URBAN PLAN CONCEPT. The initial concept for the regeneration of enköping was to enhance the areas of winter gardens by linking them to the city centre and the surrounding proposed development. Lighting is an important factor in this region as the seasonal changes can limit the amount of sunlight the town can enjoy. Optimising this [...]

further research on the spiral panels

30-Jan-10

attempts to create a parametric spiral with circular or elliptical shape, and application of the panels structure to them. reasonings on a more stable joint which connects three panels instead of two.

the male-female joint is obtained through oblique cuts on the panels, by assebling the panels a direction of assemblage is given, following a spiral path, the angle of the cuts influences the number of turns of the spiral and by changing the spread of the joint angle the spiral radius changes. the structure is self supporting thanks to [...]

“firefly evolution”, reasoning on the spiral shape and male-female joint

30-Jan-10

spiral approximation to obtain a continuous structure made of laminated timber panels. the first idea was to compenetrate the panels to obtain a self supporting structure, as the shape of libeskind’s victoria and ablbert museum extension suggests, but this structure yields a closed space and the intention was to create a both closed and open space by [...]
