[introduction]


I am delighted to share our recent publication on the emergent trajectory and progress of the graduate Digital Design and Fabrication program at the College of Architecture, Texas Tech University. The program has been growing fast since its foundation and it continues to attract strong US and international students through the innovative Graduate Certificate and the post-professional Master of Science in Architecture. The transformational impact of the DDF program on our graduate curriculum is extended to the undergraduate level disseminating digital savvyness across design studios and technology-based courses. Our most talented post-professional students have the opportunity to transfer their knowledge and skills to the youngest students, actively contributing to inform the undergraduate sequence of courses with instructional tasks and teaching assistantships. The effects of this curricular contamination are visible in the significant improvement of our student digital skills, in the broader range of inquiries and experiences, and in the quality of design work and applications. This book illustrates an inter-disciplinary, creative and imaginative approach to the discipline of architecture, allowing students to explore ideas, experiment design processes and research on material properties and performances. The expressed “ materialâ€? sensitivity is a form of design research, while digital fabrication methods and design techniques are producing novel opportunities for the designer and the architectural practice. Our graduate Certificate offers 14 credit hours associated with a professional Master of Architecture. The post-professional Master of Science in Architecture with a specialization in Digital Design and Fabrication is a 1 ½ year plan with 34 credit hours, which is including a summer of international studies linked with our Study Abroad programs. A varied selection of studios and seminars nurtured by our faculty research interests is reinforced by a constant offer of workshops lead by experts and emerging designers. A state of the art fabrication shop is the house of laser, 3-D printing, CNC and Robotics technologies and it is currently undergoing a large expansion, which will increase available spaces, tools and machinery. Collaborations with other colleges, departments, professionals, industry, organizations and communities on the Texas Tech campus and outside are vital and propelling forces for the success of integrated projects, efforts and initiatives. I hope you will enjoy our faculty and student works, the vision that this program initiated, the critical discourse, results and perspectives that is carrying on, while is enhancing the research presence of the College of Architecture.

ttu ddf | director’s note

[re_tooling the discipline]


In the last 20 years, Architecture went through revolutionary changes, from the paperless studio and a predominantly theory influenced agenda, towards a global digital practice and material driven canon fostered by the proliferation of dynamic associative design environments and the convergence of distributed design sensibilities. With a pervasive flexibility and extendibility, everything seems to be connected. At the same time the conventional practice, where some still believe that an initial approach to research is sufficient to inform the successive design phases, is turning into a practice of variability. The focus on design research in its many facets and contaminating the entire design process is needed in order to catalyze our now inclusive operations. Furthermore, the broad effects of technological change ushered through widespread computation not only open up a whole new domain of explorations in academia and practice but pose questions on how to revise pedagogy accordingly. Hence, the Master of Science with specialization in Digital Design and Fabrication (DDF) is positioned at the intersection of architecture, engineering and computation fields and oriented towards an interdisciplinary direction. While a main interest is into design strategies and their influence on emerging material systems, the pursuit to deal with imminent questions of a more and more “digital-craft” based professional practice, affords its own curriculum. In concert with ongoing efforts of retooling the discipline, the program engages three major research areas, design computation and geometry, materials and fabrication, and new processes of construction assembly. Through courses, advanced design studios and workshops, students widely investigate the parametric associative paradigm and employ its technological potential, which facilitates the capturing of design intentions associated to multiple aspects and promotes an integrative “systems thinking”. In order to learn more about creating synergetic structures on several scales, current knowledge in the building process is expanded into areas such as innovative materials and digital manufacturing logics through research projects, which form part of the many pedagogical avenues in the program. This book is a snapshot of works ranging from installations and furniture to architectural projects, and from interactive sensor driven environments to material performances.

Texas Tech College of Architecture Digital Design & Fabrication Program The College of Architecture at Texas Tech University offers a Master of Science in Architecture with a specialization and a Graduate Certificate in Digital Design and Fabrication where the integration between computational design and material-driven processes are explored with an interdisciplinary attitude. By advancing building technology the DDF program acts as a catalyst for innovation.

Market Changes in Professional Practice A change in the process of architecture through the technological evolution of “drawings� is occurring today, but in contrast with the renaissance, it is reconfiguring the whole building industry, involving the architect in an emerging networked team of design and construction specialists. New communication and knowledge exchange techniques supported with information technology (IT) are disrupting time frames and spatial relationships between key players and facilitating inclusiveness and collaborative project delivery. The cyberarchitect in the new role of the integrative generalist or design specialist forms part of the emerging creative class, to use a term suggested by Richard Florida of Carnegie Mellon University. The current project delivery process in the construction industry in the US, is shifting from a traditional design- bid- build process to a streamlined design- build process . This emerging trend is supposed to become more dominant in the years to come in particular driven by new market players such as design engineering firms and media savy construction developers. Individual architecture firms not ready for this change will ultimately fall behind, unless they deliberately follow up by engaging new expertise in the field of computational design related to fabrication and construction technology advances.

[sphenoid wall] The Sphenoid wall is an outcome of the Fab_Lab studio, which explored the process of “digital_craft� and the material flow between computation, fabrication and construction. The studio investigated structural surfaces by interpreting new geometric species as key members of building envelopes and roof_scapes. While emerging design strategies proliferate new means of customization, contemporary practices also investigate nonlinear modularity. Several student teams evaluated in workshops the question of topology through alternative design options for platonic solids. Successively groups of students pursued the final installation of a polyhedron type by optimizing many aspects such as geometry and joints, material design mix, fabrication and mold design reaching to site adaptation strategies and assembly methods.

fabricating & testing Concrete mixes were designed throughout the semester and changing ratios of the admixtures had to accomodate many performance based criteria and the complex formwork. The major design challenge was the inclusion of a recycled paper product from GREENSTAR, a startup from Tech. The recycled paper within the mixtures on the one hand reduced weight as it replaced more standard aggregate such as sand and gravel. The designmixes were refined by changing the sequence of admixtures and varying the amount of paper used, which also influenced minor color changes. The components have different material compositions to allow for perfomance evaluations during a longer time period.

[DEEP surface] DEEPsurface investigates surface structures that propose new exciting spatial environments through landscapes of differentiated textures. Processes developing scaled micro forms will be conditioned by factors of materiality in order to simulate performance parameters. Computational scripting techniques incorporating design, fabrication and material parameters facilitate the shape control during the generation of self similar variations.

[collective form] This studio utilized specific notions of Emergence in relation to Complexity Theory so as to create architectures rich with conceptual depth, as well as formal, spatial, and experiential variety. Specifically, the over arching concept of Collective Form will be used to develop structures comprised of various interwoven and colliding systems / sub-systems, serving both functional and poetic aims.

ttu ddf | research | building envelopes | collective form

At the outset of the studio, students are responsible for eschewing notions of the singular in favor of the manifold. Rather than nurture outdated design philosophies dealing with singular all-encompassing concepts, this studio will cultivate multiple conceptual / thematic approaches at all times, fostering and enforcing the idea that architecture is devoid of singular authorship. While this method of development / inquiry into architecture draws on the complexity of life for inspiration, it does not do so with the explicit intent to generate formally complex architectures. The underlying purpose of this methodology is the development of reasoning, and strategic skill-sets to be used in dealing with the multivalent intricacies of architecture. Additionally, the studio focuses on the formulation of design strategies carrying specific, multifaceted, functional aims. These inclusive strategies will be developed integrating multiple systems to create a comprehensive project rich with both literal and phenomenal depth. Such strategies can be used to gain ground environmentally, and develop buildings which might not otherwise support the creation of architecture due to limitations such as budgetary constraints.

ttu ddf | research | interactive architecture | meta TOUCH

[aMachine | meta TOUCH] [meta] TOUCH is an explorative concept questioning our perceptions of touch and interactivity. With increasing social networking through cellular smart phones, we are challenging our conceptions of how we touch devices and connect to each other. Extending beyond the haptic, [meta]TOUCH is a digital extension of space to users, and at the same time, also the medium in which to see the connections between users. Through touch, the “skin� extension of the design actuates, reaches out in response, while revealing a second layer underneath. In other words, dual levels of this information technological skin add another layer of spatial understanding to our environment: besides the personal and haptic, our physical skin and the immediate boundary of space around us, a kind of meta skin permeates through the digital realm dynamically interacting through space with others. This digital driven machine is not physically felt, but it is metaphysical, engaging our thoughts, ideas, and our consciousness of space and machine.

[aMachine | floriculture machine] The Floriculture machine emulates botanical systems through adaptive and transformative properties. Analogous to the germination of a seed, the machine evolves from a dormant bud. While typically concealed within its shoot, the bud remains inactive. However once activated, the machine reveals surprising hidden mechanics by “swelling� into action. Suddenly the apparatus becomes a kinetic manifestation of tensile resistance and celebrates its activation with an intelligent interaction. It reacts to light, proximity and sound. The design proposes an innovative solution to building envelope questions of apertures, morphological variation and automated user interaction.

[ave J | city green scape] The projects for Ave J form part of a collaborative project between the two studios of Prof Perbellini and Prof Pongratz with the departments of Theater and Dance, Music, and Art. The underlying goal is to revitalize a defunct and abandoned downtown Lubbock with strategic urban insertions which generate a new street scape and plazas for public events. By drawing deliberately from a mix of installation type projects, sculptural art pieces, performance spaces and music, the perception of public space is one of colorful activity. In a final culmination all participants and their projects were introduced to the public in a performance spectacle during the yearly Lubbock Arts Festival.

[urban stage] The idea of Urban Stage is to rethink downtown and also rethink the typical street design and greenery of Lubbock under its location as a natural gateway to the plains with a library of desert cacti and native plants. Ave J becomes a didactic example, the downtown Botanic Garden, in order to revive the city through natural gardens, reduced traffic and with lively entertainment in newly appropriated pedestrian areas. Ave J becomes a place where people meet and enjoy themselves, but also a place for learning. It is as much about youth education and inspiring environmental stewardship as well as an opportunity to develop community goals for a future oriented vibrant downtown and city. It should be noted that the Urban Stage project lasted less than two months from initial brainstorming of ideas, concept design, fabrication and installation of more than 17 team projects. With a low budget of $10.000, students were responsible for deep material research, fabrication of parts, and masterplan revisions, in order to allow for material delivery and budget adjustment in the given short time frame.

[sustainable cabin & ladder]

ttu ddf | research | design build | sustainable cabin & ladder

The Sustainable Cabin, completed in 2010, serves as an experimental research station in sustainable design and living at a remote site on the American High Plains, operating entirely off the conventional power grid, utilizing rain water harvesting, waste compost, photovoltaic solar-power, and passive solar design. Historical precedents informing the design were Henry David Thoreau’s cabin at Walden Pond near Concord, Massachusetts, and Le Corbusier’s “Cabanon” Roquebrune-CapMartin in Southern France. Each of these works was built under significant budgetary constraints which are seldom considered in academic design studios. The project involved a large amount of students from Product Design courses, and continued to include student involvement in 2014 with the addition of a ladder installed on the interior. Unlike other design build projects which are handed over to a private client upon completion, the client of the Sustainable Cabin is a not-for-profit foundation on the High Plains. By mutual agreement and support, the university and the foundation funded both the Cabin and the site so that future students can visit and study the Sustainable Cabin.

[product design | lighting fixtures] Product Design is an introduction to the design and executed construction of a prototypical piece of furniture or other design product using an architectural design process. Students are introduced to 20th and 21st century design methods and processes of product design and industrial design. Key features are to study the work of Charles and Ray Eames, and the blurring between industrial and architecture design. Architecture design, industrial product design, the process of design and fabrication is radically changing because of the digital design and productions process, and therefore the class pushes forward in the methods of fabrication.

These were design built as part of ARCH 5302 Product Design, an elective in the Spring of 2013, but formed also a part of a two month design service learning project for the Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts in Lubbock, Texas. In a design charrette the students proposed first their individual designs for a new reception table. The jury, Karen Wiley, Linda Cullum and Tonja Hagy together with the course instructor selected the final design. The design plays homage to industrial materials and colors and is successfully used since spring of 2009 on the LHUCA Campus.

Design & Computation Workshops The DDF program organizes workshops on design computation 1-2 times per academic year. Students together with visiting faculty such as Marc Fornes, Kris Leese, Luis Quinones, Rob Eleazer and our graduate instructors explore specific design problems at the center of our ongoing design research. In a week long workshop, students learn about algorithmic logic and the generation of space related to material and fabrication concerns. The workshops and their final installations or prototypes are also a good opportunity for students to learn and engage the various fabrication and numerically controlled equipment in the shops, such as laser cutters, 3D printers, CNC machines or robotic arms.

workshop project In the workshop on geometry bifurcation and branching in Fall 2011, taught by Robbie Eleazer and Luis Quinones, students explored various geometry related topics from digital attractor systems to physical output with CNC milling. In a final installation of the workshop a hanging structure developed after a series of exercises with recursive branching, assembly methods with modules and curve delaminations, was fabricated and erected in the entry hall way of the College of Architecture. The building prototype, a branching system of 4 individual towers, is made of two colors of laser cut acrylic sheets, stiffened by steel cables, and post tensioned between CNC milled ceiling and floor plates.

Master of Science with a Specialization in Digital Design & Fabrication Thesis The Master of Science in Architecture with specialization in Digital Design and Fabrication (DDF) is dedicated to advance design knowledge and pursue innovation in the process of making architecture. The program is positioned at the intersection of architecture, engineering and computation with a profound sustainable and interdisciplinary direction. The program engages in research and development that concern emerging material issues in a “digital-craft� based professional practice beyond the design related disciplines. With a focus on digital technologies, the program explores new material processes across different fields and the related fabrication and building methodologies. The goal is to form a set of skills, which build up a designer’s creative potential through material oriented strategies. Research models and innovative approaches are in direct response to questions of inquiry brought forward through our network of partners in professional practice and industries. The program is intended to prepare students for recent market changes with an exponential increase in digital and information-driven design-build projects.

Digital Design & Fabrication Certificate The DDF Graduate Certificate is a specialty component of the Digital Design and Fabrication Program. A Certificate of specialization can be obtained by professionals outside the University, by anyone with an approved undergraduate degree from any college or school at Texas Tech, or from any other university in the world by taking a minimum of 14 hours of core courses in the DDF program. MArch graduates that wish to pursue the MSpecialization in DDF after receiving the MArch with a certificate in DDF can transfer 12 hours from the certificate specialty into the MS program with a specialization in DDF.
