A renewed interest in stereotomy, narrowly entwined with digital technologies, has allowed for the recovery and proposal of new techniques and expressions in this building approach. A new classification scheme for stereotomy research allows for the framing of various aspects related to this discipline, including a newly developed fabrication system specially tailored for the wedge-shaped […]
At the 4000 Ateliers event, along with AZVAvisuals, Espaço2D organized its first workshop focused on the visualization of architecture. Following the work developed in the professional activity, the software used was Blender, an opensource 3D animation tool, with characteristics similar to 3ds Max or Maya. The aim of the workshop was the introduction to Blender, […]
Architecture project by Pedro de Azambuja Varela, Maria João de Oliveira and Emmanuel Novo. Following the 2012/13 edition of the Advanced Program in Digital Architecture (CEAAD), promoted by FAUP and ISCTE-IUL, the company AMORIM Isolamentos challenged the Course to design their Pavilion for the CONCRETA 2013 Fair. The students that developed their final research on cork […]
Presentation in the Digital Darq event. Showcase of personal research on cork stereotomies.
Poster presented in the Nexus 2012 – Relationships Between Architecture and Mathematics. This presentation was about the relation of a complex geometry with constructive constraints.
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 […]
Intensive course with the purpose of teaching the BIM approach through the software ArchiCAD. The students were not acquainted with the software and should end the 16 hour programmr with capabilities of building a BIM model with informed components, such as slabs, walls and windows, with a printable layout. This course was taught at Espaço2D […]
WORKYOURFOLIO – PORTFOLIO DESIGN WORKSHOP Pedro Guinapo, Arq. ULHT | Pedro de Azambuja Varela, Arq. FAUP O portfolio design workshop é desenhado para auxiliar os participantes a navegar nos aspectos conceptuais e práticos da montagem de um portfolio. O workshop irá expor um conjunto de estratégias à organização do portfolio desde a preparação do seu […]
Assistance in 3D modelling and fabrication. The intersection of technological development with sustainability has reached complex times that postulate a wider scope in conceptual and practical terms. Imagining and producing sustainable technologies lies now on the ability of technical and social domains to merge their own concerns and solutions with no bias. Our collective futures […]
This work was the result of my studies at CEAAD – Curso de Estudos Avançados em Arquitectura Digital – organized by ISCTE-IUL and FAUP, and hosted in ISCTE-IUL and VFABLAB in Lisbon in 2013-2013. When approached with a raw material such as expanded cork agglomerate, materiality is a concept that is present from the very […]
