GROUP 13 // REFERENCES INSPIRATION // FRIE OTTO The aim of this project is to use digital processes and design techniques to propose novel solutions to the problems fabrication. We aim to explore in detail and develop a small and simple feature of their design project. The objective is to initiate students into a compressed version of design to production pipelines in contemporary architectural offices. We will do so through the creation of computer models, exploration of interoperability paths between different software platforms, diagrams, drawings, laser cut paths, CNC prototypes, and robotic paths that explain, test, and analyse the system. All prototype digital and physical models are to be catalogued and documented and submitted as a bound folio accompanied by a digital copy.

CONCLUSION // When the shape is relaxed in Maya, the rigidity must be <0.2 in order to see real world similarities. Stretch resistance must all be kept <2.0. If both rigidity and stretch resistance are acting on the shape there is little relaxation. The curves are more prominent in Maya whereas in the box, connecting points tended to be straighter. It was hard to calibrate the real world and Maya fabrics to act in an identical manner, however similar shapes could be made.
