At the request of Prof. Alexandra Paio, two lectures were given to the students of the 3rd grade of Architecture. The purpose was to accomplish an exercise on Shape Grammars, yelding very interesting results. These lectures were carried out in May 2013
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, […]
Between the geological earth and the rubble turned ground, architecture happens. It is in the cycles that happen between those two moments that the Flying Earth proposal is developed. Addressing the Trienalle challenges, it explores how the Earth’s most sourceable matter may provide the human being with an infinitely available and carbon-free material, contributing to […]
Recent developments in digital design and fabrication tools have led architects and researchers to renew the interest in stereotomy. This interest converges with a growing ecological and economical conscience that matches classic stereotomy raw material needs: compression resistance materials. However, material resources or prefabrication time are still major counterparts for the adoption of this construction […]
This paper focuses on the development of a BIM (Building Information Modeling) tool for stereotomic design, aiming to create a bridge between academic research and practical implementation of stereotomy in the construction sector. The creation of a stereotomic BIM tool enhances the use of compressive materials within funicular shapes to minimize reliance on carbon-intensive steel-reinforced […]
Presentation in the Digital Darq event. Showcase of personal research on cork stereotomies.
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 […]
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 […]
