First week check

Hello Architect makers.... with the first week coming to an end we would like to reflect upon it. This week each of us chose a field of interest and did a workshop expanding on the topic; wood kerfing, engineering and climates. we gained skills regarding each of the three workshops. The wood kerfing experiments with parametric patterns, their flexibility and curvature using grasshopper. While the engineering group learned Karamba in grasshopper understanding mass distribution and tension vs compression in parametric code. The third group learned LadyBug in grasshopper where the microclimates in a specific location at a certain time is determined. We each specialized in different integral parts that will build up our pavilion.

After the workshopss we split into groups developing joints, patterns, strips/ surfaces, and tensile structures. This taught us different qualities that the playwood has and its strength and weakness under different conditions and functions. The best part is that we got to share the knowledge we discovered and gained with our colleagues during our group interactions and presentation. With a first week starting off right, we can’t wait to see what the second week has to offer ;)
