Galaxia Burning Man temple 2018 Status: built Date: 2018 Location: Black Rock City, US Architect: Mamou-Mani Engineering: Format Galaxia reflects a full journey through the optimization of a parametric model in order to achieve a successful build in only 3 weeks. This was possible thanks to the 140 volunteers who preserved through the rather harsh environment in the desert of Nevada (USA). The key to the success of this project was that it used parametric design tools not only for the design concept but for the full cycle until construction. Starting from the structural analysis, optimizing the material thicknesses and usage, resolving physical clashes of the structure and outputting the fabrication drawings. Not forgetting the challenges of generating a build sequence, sourcing all the materials and having to manage skilled and unskilled volunteers on site, as well as manual work on the actual construction.

Recovering of the site

The key to the success of this project was that we used parametric design tools not only for the design concept but for the full cycle until construction. We created a grasshopper script used by the engineers in order to generate their structural calculations making the workflow between design and engineering extremely fluid. - Site arrangement baring in mind crane's reaching distances and clearance areas.

From the structural calculations, we optimized the thicknesses of the timber as well as removing members making the project cheaper, without risking the structural behavior.

- Volunteer friendly fabrication drawings for each one of the modules fully parametrically generated. Including:

- Design of the build plan in order to achieve the short deadline of three weeks.

We defined every clash on the 7200 members of the structure and geometrically avoid them fixing the intersections within the same script.

- Burning strategy Iin collabora- - Clearing up the site of the burn tion with burning man fire team. separating materials and bringing them back to recycling. - Security measurements of the burn site - Leave no trace

All this on one single Grasshopper script that still adapts the full cycle whenever we change any of the original inputs.

- Optimization of the site. - Planning of the building sequence

Using the algorithms given from the engineers, we calculated the amount of screws needed for 4800 custom made steel plates and we modeled them on 3d and 2d in order to be fabricated.

Tangential dreams Art installation Status: Built Date: 2016 Location: Black Rock City, US Architect: Mamou-Mani Engineers: Format

Tangential dream is a climbable sinuous tower made from off-the-shelf timber and digitally designed via algorithmic rules. One thousand 'tangent; and light wooden pieces, stenciled with inspiring sentences, are strongly held in position by a helicoid sub-structure rotating along a central spine which also forms a safe staircase to climb on. Each one of the poetic branches faces a different angle, based on the tangent vectors of a sweeping sine curve.

Hayles street Flat refurbishment Status: Built Date: 2018 Location: London, UK Architect: Mamou-Mani Engineering: Fluid Structures A three story terrace dwelling house located along Hayles Street, a residential road situated within the Elliott's Row Conservation Area and the Elephant and Castle Opportunity Area. The proposed modifications will increase the Net Internal Area of the flat by an extra 10m2. The roof extension is located on the rear and cannot be viewed from the street or the wider public realm, and as a result the extension would not have an impact upon the character of the street scene or cause harm to the conservation area. Saying this we believe, the modifications at the back will improve the overall design by bringing a respectful, light and unique contemporary touch to the historical architecture.

Qualia hotel Eco-resort in Tulum Status: Stage 2 Date: 2018 Location: Tulum, MX Architect: Mamou-Mani Engineering: Format ARUP

The project contains 12 timber pods, with three and four levels, located in a 'Manglar' close to the coast in Tulum, rising into piles on a beautiful landscape. The pods united with a timber runway will converge into the main hub, which will be an scaled version of Galaxia. The main hub will include all the facilities as restaurant, solar energy collection, water distribution and any other requirements that the hotel requires. The pods will be an extension from this main hub, where people will be able to spend their time connecting with the surrounding nature. Structurally the pod is created with a diamond grid surface, with diamond modules and wedges, as well as a glass cladding. Each one of this pods will have an outside layer of thin timber, calculated to make shadow on the most intense times of the day to save energy.

Holocaust memorial Shortlisted competition Status: Shortlisted competition Date: 2017 Location: London, UK Architect: Henegan Peng Computational deisgn: Mamou-Mani We've been shortlisted in the Holocaust Memorial Competition, collaborating with heneghan peng, Gustafson Porter + Bowman, Event, Sven Anderson, Bartenbach, Arup, Bruce Mau Design, BuroHappold, Turner & Townsend, PFB, Andrew Ingham & Associates and LMNB. The Memorial is an ear, that connects visitors with the voices and testimonies of those who experienced the Holocaust. Set within the individual voids that occupy the walls of the Memorial, their sonic aggregate becomes the primary material of its sensory construction. Visitors descend from the Gardens through a series of thresholds and passages, encountering individual voices as they form a collective, of those who speak of past horrors and the grave risk of authoritarianism and barbarism returning today.

Skyhive Challenge DNA BLOCKCHAIN SKYSCRAPER Next Steps: GLOBAL An insight to the launch of DNA Blockchain A modular, additive and decentralised skyscraper which is robotically assembled on site from prefabricated spatial units ‘aka blocks’ arranged according to an environmental, structural and programmatic logic defined by users and algorithms.

Unique proposition | Circular Economy The tower’s capacity can expand and contract depending on the socio-economic needs and users buying, selling or moving to another blockchain building. No more empty towers, no more static cities, no waste generation. Construction sequencing using programmed robotics, machine learning and parametric design which advances people’s skills and pushes the boundaries of conservative building methods. Efficient and safe design driven with the latest sustainable technologies and strategies; adaptable and applicable for each local environment that the blockchain building is intended to be placed.

Power is shifted to the future owner or occupier of each module directly, with services that DNA-B can provide to facilitate this within given timeframes. Size of modules offer ample space for creative designs to be developed by one or different design teams in order to meet the aspirations of the users.

A cloud platform will orchestrate the required process.

Status: Competition Date: 2017 Location: Dubai,UAE Architect: Mamou-Mani Engineer: Arup On-Site Cable Robotics for Construction & Circular Economy The design team believes that the future of construction will be in robotic technologies. This revolution, in the way we make buildings, will impact not only how we design but how we think. Our intention is to anticipate this inevitable shift and lead the way towards a positive robotic age. An age in which Robotic technology is simple, affordable, environmental and connected to our ancestral knowledge of materials. An age in which the architects, engineers and contractors will work more closely together, bringing back the golden age of master-builders. noitatropsnar T lacitreV dna nwodkaerb secaps noitcnuF

Completed office fit- out modules can be brought on site and installed at a short amount of time. Using the precision of the robot, these modules can be placed and secured to the steel framed structure which evolves simultaneously with the introduction of these modules. Once the minimum height is achieved, every 5 years there will an opening time where modules can be removed from their supports with the use of the robots, get refurbished offsite and brought back. International office branches can exchange of office modules. Vertical expansion is also feasible.

Current architectural robotics are based on old robotic arms used in the car industry, facing scaling difficulties, whilst being very expensive. Building up on the open-source movement, we propose to create a new kind of cable construction robot, which will be working at an unprecedented scale, overcoming these difficulties by merging stadium spidercams with the delta pick and place open-source technologies.

The biggest structural challenge in the construction of the DNA Blockchain Skyscraper is the lack of a central core. This alleviated with the introduction of the innovative modular construction stacking method described, that doesn't allow a core to be built in a conventional way. In order to solve this challenge, the modules have been designed to act together, providing tubular stiffness. Stiff diaphragms along each edge of the module, create a "stiff box", which when joined together onsite, create this stiff tube resisting the horizontal forces. These stiff diaphragms along the edge of the modules are created with diagonal bracing and steel diaphragm members.

The open sportscape Daegu metropolitan city Status: Competition Date: 2014 Location: Dalseong, KR Architect: Mamou-Mani & HOF This project is for the citizens of Dalseong therefore we want the building to be as open as possible. By keeping the floor on the same level and having mostly glass partitions we want people to feel as if they were doing outdoor sports within the beautiful surroundings and not in an oppressing white box. The space has the capacity to open up and offer a continuous ground for events of all kinds such as fairs and concerts. the access to the space to be as easy and direct as possible which is why we offer a large front door with a continuous public staircase with car drop-in at the front of the building. With the innovative double-curve grid-shell roof, we minimize the amount of walls and columns within the space as well as the quantity of steel needed to cover it. Softly the idea of being open by lifting the ground and introducing a continuous window to the surroundings. The Architecture therefore will merge with the landscape. By creating an underground parking that could grow size over-time, we liberate the site from unhealthy cars and allow the creation of beautiful park around the gymnasium for people to do healthy outdoor activities. - 3d model using grasshopper - render images - Competition boards

Wooden waves Lighting installation Status: Built Date: 2015 Location: London, UK buro happold engineering Architect: Mamou-Mani Engineers: buro happold engineering

The Wooden Waves is an architectural installation suspended in the 17 and 71 Newman Street entrance spaces of BuroHappold Engineering's London offices to provide a visual link between the two. The components of The Wooden Waves form sinuous streams folded into unexpected configurations through an opensource and innovative digital fabrication technique of 'lattice-hinge-formation': This is a parametric pattern of laser-cut lines that alters the global properties of plywood sheets making them locally more flexible and thus controlling the 3D form without significant supporting framework. The lattice hinge method is a development of the traditional timber bending technique, using the kerf (beamwidth) of the laser to form torsional springs within the material.

Bringing together architects, artists, chefs, designers and engineers, pop-up restaurant Food Ink. has laid claim to the title of world's first 3D-printing restaurant. The restaurant utilizes 3D printers produced by Dutch company byFlow to create dishes out of hummus, chocolate mousse, smashed peas, goat cheese or pizza dough essentially anything that can take the form of a paste. In designing the whole collection, which consists of a number of different designs, Mamou-Mani and his team generated a matrix of potential chair designs which took into account the desired speed of the print, the angle behind the print, and a number of other factors. The result was a range of design families that fell into these constraints. To account for the height limitations of the 3D printer, some of the pieces were designed with male/female connections for possible extensions.

Xintiandi 3d printed pop up studio Status: Built Date: 2014 Location: Shangai, CH Architect: Mamou-Mani The Xintiandi 3D Printing Pop-Up Studio by Mamou-Mani at Xintiandi Style, Shanghai, is a temporary space to discover the world of 3D printing and the beautiful forms that can be created with this innovative technology. It will take place during the Shanghai Fashion Week from the 25th September to the 12th October 2014. The geometry of the shop, modules and texture is based on the sine curve and is generated using computer programming. For each module a different file is sent to the 3D printer giving information on how much material should be printed. By varying this value throughout the print it changes its translucency, lightens it and creates a unique texture that diffuses light.

Located in the Palazzo de Isimbradi within the center of the city of Milan, this 3D printed pavilion might be the central piece for the clothing brand COS. A modular 3d printed structure that will interact with the participants of the exhibition. Optimized by using the same module but interrupting the G-code at different height, we will be able to get the sense of multiple different modules without the actual work of having to generate hundreds of them. Each one of the modules would be 3d printed on site, and will be adjustable depending on the participants interaction, being able to generate different arrangements of the structure. It's final use will be seating space area for several talks during the event.

Polibot Product development Status: Built Date: 2017 Location: London, UK Arup engineering Architect: Mamou-Mani Engineers: Arup An age in which Robotic technology is simple, affordable, environmental and connected to our ancestral knowledge of materials. An age in which the architects, engineers and contractors will work more closely together, bringing back the golden age of master builders. Current architectural robotics are based on decade old robotic arm used for the car industry, they scale with difficulties and are very expensive. Building up on the open-source movement, we propose to create a new kind of cable construction robot, working at an unprecedented scale, merging stadium spidercams with the delta pick and place open-source technologies. It will construct and deconstruct eight towers over the course of 16 weeks, demonstrating the cyclical nature of the building process and how demolition can be anticipated in the spirit of our new circular economy.

Barcelona business city DS10 - UoW 2017 BCNBC started as a project in order to meet the new requirements of society and the future aims in technology. It's vital that we share all the resources and advance studies that we develop daily in order to develop them even further. This shared knowledge is called Open Source. Can you imagine how far can we get if we share the knowledge that every individual has? This is why BCNBC is based on Cerda's plan in order to maximize social interaction within the city so people are constantly connected to each other. It brings back the public spaces that original Cerda's utopia proposed. Why in Barcelona? Brexit placing the UK and London out of Europe goes against the philosophy of the city and Open Source, that is why we need to find another location for a financial and technological center of the world. Barcelona's Metropolitan Area plays a leading role in the context of Europe. Its strategic geographic position and population density are supported by a network of transport and communications that interconnects it to the other main metropolitan areas on the continent making it the optimum location for this high tech and open source city.

The core of Cerda's master plan was the creation of the manzana, a city block structure that had been meticulously studied and detailed. In-between the 2 or 3 built-up sites a recreational green space would allow for a maximum amount of sunlight and ventilation to penetrate every unit in the manzana while simultaneously providing a green belt for the entire city in all cardinal directions.

Photo-tropism is the growth of an organism which responds to a light stimulus. The cells on the plant that are farthest from the light have a chemical called auxin that reacts when photo-tropism occurs. This causes the plant to have elongated cells on the farthest side from the light.

The eye of the storm BM art installation Status: Competition (university) Date: 2016 Location: Black Rock City, US Architect: Maialen Calleja Academic project Breaking down a six sided box The eye of the storm has six spirals, each one of them in a different orientation, symbolizing different kinds of paths in life. But each one of these spirals merge in the center of the cube creating a space of peace. Like the feeling of going through the Burning Man festival until the day the Temple burns when everything goes silent and calm. The spirals, made out of standard size timber, will attract you to the center but these will be challenging like going towards a storm. The structure is composed of 6 identical modules called twists, arranged in cuboid manner. Each twist is formed of frame elements and ribs connecting those frames, which act as ruled surfaces. Vertical loads are spread between the outer frames and the central bottom twist that acts in vending and axial force to carry the vertical load to the ground. Lateral forces are resisted using the perimeter frames acting as bracing or the in-plane rigidity of the modules themselves.

Cowork&Live space Sao Paulo, Brazil Entrepreneurs typically spend most waking moments obsessed with work. So would it make sense to just move into the office? Students working on a startups could have the option to live in a sleeping tiny space as part of a larger collaborative workspace as they work on their projects. There is always a relationship between the place you live and what you create. When you are an entrepreneur your ideas come and go at any point of the day, in fact you could wake up at 4 in the morning and have the greatest idea for your project. As passionate as entrepreneurs are, why not step out of bed and make your idea happen? The essential living for millenials and entrepreneurs could be narrowed down to a bed and storage, creating the minimal amount of footprint. Why would we waste space creating 40 kitchens for 40 showers for 40 entrepreneurs when they can share 10? It is a given that every human need their own private space but that space could be minimal and the rest of the time they could live on communal areas. The aim of this project is to help young professionals to develop into their future ideas and encourage the education in Brazil.

Pedestrian simulation comparison between straight path and minimal path network

Pedestrian simulation on minimal path network

There is a progressive tendency to incorporate Multi-agent System and parametric design strategies in urban planning and design in order to generate a Bottom-up urban pattern instead of the traditional Top-down urban design that meet a certain needs.

PedSim allows to run simplified pedestrian simulation in real time in Grasshopper for demonstration purpose. It is integrated in the Rhino/GH work-flow for master plan, public space, commercial and architectural projects.

This research is a general agent-based simulation approach that captures agents' decision-making processes and dynamic relationships. Such processes of decision making and interacting towards one another and to the surroundings environment have the ability to determine urban shape. By exploring the digital development of MAS and Parametric interactive models, a design proposal is developed for an urban settlement in Sao Paulo. Out of this experimental urban research, we can say that the process of design can benefit from the deeper understanding of natural process and the emergence approach in order to conduct generative and self-organizing urban structures.

In PedSim, People move from Start Gate to Destination Gate, following the best route, avoiding obstacles and other People. If they see a Target of their Interest, they will go to that Target, stay a while and re-route to the Destination Gate. It keeps the modelling logic while providing more realistic simulation result.

Minimal path networks denote the shortest connections between sets of nodes. In the physical world, soap film behaves in a manner which minimizes its surface area given a certain boundary. The edges of multiple minimal surfaces form spatial minimal paths as analysed by Frei Otto through the Minimal Way Apparatus in 1988. Recent developments allow us to digitally simulate minimal paths. They can be resolved by energy minimization techniques by computing the equilibrium configuration. This task of combinatorial optimization for finding the shortest connections between points in space is known in mathematics as the "Steiner tree problem. In the Steiner tree problem, extra intermediate vertices and edges may be added to the graph in order to reduce the length of the spanning tree. Each of the new points must have a degree of three and all the angles between the edges incident to such a point must be equal to 120 degrees. These characteristic features of all minimal path systems make them highly appealing for an architecture of minimal material usage. The potential architectural applications of minimal paths are not limited to the build-ing scale. I also investigate to which extent minimal paths can be applied in urban planning strategies.
