The School of Architecture of Aarhus organized this year 2014 its second edition of HARD CO(u)R(s)E DIGITAL, a set of workshops focused in digital technologies in a pre-holiday format. The key factors in the CorkVault workshop were the use of ICB (Insulation Cork Board), a 5-axis waterjet cutter and Kangaroo along with Grasshopper, so that a full-scale […]
This screen was designed together with Joana Fraga for Pearl Cork. It uses solid cork agglomerate, and is a modular design, so it can grow endlessly.
An experiment within the DFL. Project coordination: José Pedro Sousa Design team: Pedro de Azambuja Varela, Pedro Martins Photographs: Carlos de Albuquerque Castro
This is a design I’ve developed together with Joana Fraga for Pearl Cork. The bed itself is made of cork, and was routed from a single block of cork agglomerate with a multiple axis robotic arm.
This paper describes the theory and practical experiments on the development of a system for the deployment of stereotomic voussoirs. The recent availability of digital design and fabrication tools has enabled architects to embrace stereotomic thinking, allowing for the efficient spanning of spaces with low tensile capable materials such as stone. The proposed fabrication system […]
Architecture project by Pedro de Azambuja Varela A carport was in demand. The connection between the polygonal line of the garage roof and the horizontal site wall created this subtle yet obivous solution. The use of a “half-pipe” roof tile was key in this strangely shaped roof.
This arch was built in the DFL to showcase the possibilities of 3D printed customized joints. 144 joints were modelled automatically with a custom crafted algorithm and printed on site. The metal plates were laser cut. This work was developed together with Prof. Dr. José Pedro Sousa and João Carvalho. It is feature in this […]
Architecture project developed by Pedro de Azambuja Varela and Renata Pinho. The redesign of this apartment had to deal with specific issues: replace the existing floor, redesign the kitchen while keeping the laundry space, and create lots of storage room; while the bathrooms and master bedroom intervention is a welcome bonus to the essential. Walls […]
Architecture project by Pedro de Azambuja Varela This is an ongoing project for the reconversion of an old barn into a house. It is located in a private rural property, and the strategy lies in respecting the traditional construction techniques while adapting them to a contemporary look.
