summary |
This research investigates the design and prototyping of fabrication machines that utilize multi-dimensional printing techniques to sculpt an invisible medium- airflow, inspired by its unique materiality, philosophical value, sensorial aspects, and increasing considerations of atmosphere and climate in architectural research and design. A series of robotic thermal devices were developed to modulate animated geometry sequences through scripted movements, designated coordinates, and temperature fluctuations. This paper elaborates in depth multi-stage developments and experiments that integrate various systems, fabrication processes, optical experiments and computational analysis. It situates the experimental process of the medium-driven fabrication with possible applications in architectural design as envisioning alternative environmental systems utilizing thermal byproducts under aesthetic and experiential considerations. |
