| summary |
Rethinking conventional design and fabrication methods, this research presents a biomimetic fabrication-aware design workflow for building a lightweight pavilion. Exploring different natural organisms reveals that the optimized structures of diatoms (unicellular microalgae) could serve as a biological model to design a load-responsive lightweight pavilion. The interdisciplinary research outcome primarily involves translating diatoms’ structural and symbolic logic to component modules populated on a given free-form shell. The generative design workflow enables the designer to continuously monitor quantitative metrics such as deflection, span length, number of components and joints, size and depth of components, and weight. The model is tightly intertwined with structural analysis and optimization results. The design algorithm utilizes Rhino, Grasshopper, incorporating essential plugins such as Karamba, Octopus, and Kangaroo. The proposed fabrication method is Robotic Incremental Sheet Forming (RISF), and the material is ultra-thin aluminum sheets (0.3 mm thickness). This paper’s focus is on the design phase of the research. |
