The Dome project is a very interesting task since the class of Digital Tectonics is working united on this project.
All 20 students come from different coutries and have never worked before in in a team of 20 people for one single project.
The goal was to design a parametric Dome with a complex skin and to fabricated it in the Scale 1:1 during a timeperiod of 5 weeks.
To begin with, we thought the DOME as a pavillon in which one could enter. The basic parameters for the shape for the surface were defined in a simple TopSolid model. Later points were spreaded throughout the surface and give the final posistion for the components.
Components are based on 2 folded triangles facing one another. Each triangles fits unfolded to IAAC Laser cutting machine.
The material is white cardboard.
/ Model Scale 1:1
The presentation of the project included three panels and a video. The first panel included a diagrammatic overview of the project’s process in time, following the work of each one of the 5 work groups and emphasizing on important moments of meetings, decisions or overlapping pieces of work. The second one gave a different aspect of this process in time by demonstrating mostly the side of human interaction and collaboration. The third one was dedicated to the final project, with combined information on the parametric nature of it and images of the fabrication process as well as the dome itself.
