“ZH | CODE on Tectonism” - @vishubhooshan and @henrydavidlouth showcasing a window into the 11 years long #research led by @zhcode on #computationaldesign, #digitalmanufacturing and #dataanalytics. Always exciting and humbling to see the incredible cutting edge body of work cumulated over the years and a room at full capacity actively engaging the conversation. #tectonism#zhcode#zha#designresearch

KnitCandela (Design Development) KintCandela is a thin, sinuous concrete shell built on ultra-lightweight knitted formwork. Installed at @muac_unam in #MexicoCity as part of #ZahaHadidArchitects’ first exhibition in Latin America, KnitCandela is an experimental structure designed by @ZHCODE that pays homage to the architect & engineer #FélixCandela—reimagining his inventive concrete shell structures through the introduction of new computational design methods and innovative KnitCrete knitted formwork technology. KnitCrete enables the realisation of a wide range of anticlastic geometries. With this cable-net and fabric formwork system, expressive, freeform concrete surfaces can now be constructed efficiently, without the need for complex moulds. KnitCandela’s thin, double-curved concrete shell with a surface area of almost 50 sq.m. and weighing more than 5 tonnes, was applied on a KnitCrete formwork of only 55 kg. The knitted fabric of the formwork system was carried to Mexico from Switzerland in a suitcase. KnitCrete is an innovative material-saving, labour-reducing & cost-effective formwork system to case double-curved geometries in concrete. Developed at @ethzurich by @blockresearchgroup in collaboration with Swiss #nccrdfab. Designed to be constructed within a tight schedule, restricted space and minimal budget, KnitCandela demonstrates the rapid evolution of digital design & fabrication to the challenges faced by the construction industry, and integrates digital fabrication with the skills of traditional craftsmanship and construction methods. #ArchitectureExtrapolated (R-Ex) managed KnitCandela’s construction as part of its work integrating digital technologies in building trades in #Mexico.

Register before 4th November to avail discounts! Direct Message for details. ———————————- The workshop intends to explore Computer Aided Design (CAD) as a means to enable architectural creativity whilst still responding to complex spatial and material performance constraints. The workshop will focus on the relations between contemporary design techniques, creative expression, software technology and its manifestation using robotic fabrication. It also seeks to use production-proven design methods and software platforms in a judicious mix with innovative research. ————————————————-#zhcode #hyperthreadsworkshops #computationaldesign #digitalfabrication #workshop #bncadigitalarchitecture #bnca #pune #designmilk #synarchitecture #parametricdesign #kukarobot @zhcode @vishubhooshan @leo_bieling @swapnil_gawande
