LOOM
PROJECT BRIF THE
ARCHITECTURAL DIALOG IS MAINLY BASED ON THE
FOUNDATIONS OF ITS PREDECESSOR’S PRODUCTIONS AND PERCEPTIONS OF THE DISCIPLINE.
FOR
INTERPRETING FORMER
PROJECTS TO BUILD A NEW ONE, DESIGNERS MOSTLY USE THE
“SUPERIMPOSITION”
APPROACH, THIS IS AN APPROACH BY
WHICH THE DESIGNER MAKES THE DESIGN EMERGENCE FOR HIM/HERSELF MORE TANGIBLE THROUGH THE PROCESS.
BUT
THIS MAKES THE FINAL PRODUCT AT WORSE SOPHISTICATED AND AT BEST HETEROGENIC.
HOWEVER
BY APPROACHING
DESIGN FROM THE OBJECT-ORIENTED ONTOLOGY POINT OF VIEW, IN THIS PIECE WE HAVE TRIED TO MIX THE DIAGRAM
(OCCUPANCY PLANES), SPACE (NEGATIVE SPACES) AND FORM (THE EXTERIOR) OF THE OMAS EMBASSY OF THE NETHERLANDS, BERLIN AND HEATHERWICKS VESSEL IN A ٣D HOMOGENOUS EMERGENCE. THIS IS POSSIBLE THROUGH
MORPHIC GENERATION ON THE SPATIAL BORDERS WHICH ARE

.BY THE DATA PATTERN TO MASTER THE COMPUTATIONAL FORM MACHINE INTUITIVELY, A LEARNING METHOD WAS INCORPORATED INTRODUCED BY GREG LYNN AND THE PAPERLESS STUDIO, MASS PRODUCTION BY DEFINED VALUE INPUTS AND STUDYING
THEM BY CATEGORIZING THEM IN MATRIXES AND ANIMATIONS.
MANY BITMAP IMAGES WERE PRODUCED AND MANIPULATED BY PHOTOSHOP AND WERE GIVEN AS INPUTS TO THE FORM MACHINE, MANY TIMES THE VALUES WERE CHANGED AND MANY

RATIONALIZATION
RATIONALIZATION FOR
USING THE MARCHING CUBE ALGORITHM THE MESH
PRODUCT IS NO OPTIMIZED FOR FABRICATION.
SINCE
THE
FORM IS INHERENTLY A CURVATURE COMPLEX SURFACE
DIVIDING TWO ENTWINED SPACES, A CLEAN TESSELLATION PRODUCED BY WRAP WARP AND WEFT SEEMS A GOOD FABRICATION IDEA; BUT THE CURVATURE PRODUCED BY
MONOLITH IS MORE COMPLEX AND DOES NOT FOLLOW THE
CURVATURE PRINCIPALS OF SMOOTH RELATIVE MESH FORM ALGORITHMS SUCH AS
TSPLINE
AND CATMULL.
WITH
A
PHYSICAL SIMULATION WE WERE ABLE TO STRETCH A
CLEAN AND FABRICATION FRIENDLY MESH TOPOLOGY OVER THE FORM MESH, THE RESULT BEING A GEOMETRICALLY SIMILAR MESH BUT ALSO BEING CLEAN AND FABRICATION FRIENDLY.
