| summary |
We present an experimental form-finding technique for ultra-thin glass fiber reinforced concrete components and assemblies. The objective is to challenge conventional concrete use in construction, often perceived as a massive and compressive structural material. Instead, we targeted production of fine shell assemblies principally operating in tension. To achieve thin profile components, we use a compliant molding technique where premixed GFRC is cast in polyethylene bags. Subsequently, a robotic arm system pins the bags on a substrate plate and the setup is inverted whereby gravity induces a curvature to components while concrete cures. Use of parametric modeling, computer simulation and statistical experimental methods allowed us to understand the behavior of the material process and translate computationally modeled designs into physical artifacts. We discuss the opportunity for digital fabrication methods to fuse with traditional form-finding techniques, contrast the use of computational modeling techniques and present a series of prototypes created through our process. |
