NodoBar Casacor 2012
Nodo Bar . CasaCor Panama 2012 Team: Michelle Lavayen, Carlos G. Naranjo Type: Digital Fabrication . Interior Design Location: CasaCor Panama 2012. Old Crystal Suites Hotel, Panama. Construction area: 48 sq.m. Year: 2012 Status: built
The design is based on the exploration ofsounds. Transforming the fluidity of the sound waves into geometries, through computational design and digital fabrication. Its components had been designed acoording to its function and structural rigity that create a hole system. The panel is formed of a group of curves based in a sound wave, that variates and produce different sections. It is formed of 54 flexi-ribs joined by 108 intersections, and built of pvc sheets and mdf wood panels.

The bar is composed by 76 sections ofmdf wood panels. And the weight is distributed to the corners allowing to be floating in the middle. The idea of the project is to use simple and non expensive materials that after the event is finished could be desinstalled and collocated in other space.
