THE BOOK
25-Feb-11production – attempt 2
23-Dec-10a quick model showing the min surface opening within the regular grid pattern. once the high complexity of the model had been achieved, it was possible to compare two different models. the stability has remained, but the production was challenging, the welding of the seams and the way the min surface was treated.
production – attempt 1
23-Dec-10regular diamond grid 30/30cm is applied to a 90/90cm double layer sheet to test the pattern and welding techniques for the production. challenges: cutting out a lightweight material like polyethylene, diy welding, connection points and stability. once applied on the curved surface this pattern will be distorted, the cells will vary in size and the openings [...]
revised abstract
25-Nov-10Prototyping porous inflatable envelopes through computation of a curved double layer membrane The aim of this thesis is to explore geometric articulation of the inflatable fabric envelopes in relation to the logic of the material system and its performance through the use of parametric and computational modelling in combination with standard sewing and welding techniques. [...]
surface pattern
23-Nov-10the arrangement of point connections along the surface distorted the panel and due to wrinkling and deformations the structure prooved to be impossible as it is. dividing the pattern and cutting into smaller pieces the surface decreased the amount of wrinkles, but increased the instability of the whole. however, following the pattern of the wrinkles [...]
