TailorCrete is a European Union FP-7 research project that combines the knowledge and resources of architects, designers, concrete technologists, civil and structural engineers and robot experts into a 4 year collaborative research. Through intensive testing both in the laboratory and in full-scale prototypes and demonstrations in experimental buildings, fourteen academic and industrial partners will develop a set of new technologies including digital design and fabrication tools, new formwork and reinforcement systems. The Professorship for Architecture and Digital Fabrication of ETH Zurich develops a structural system of reusable wax formwork that allows for an on-site casting of free-form concrete structures. The development of digital design and fabrication tools, which support the concrete technologies from design to production, made TailoCrete a project that suggests a radical change in the construction of concrete structures.

Mold preparation
The KUKA robot was used for about 12 different phases of the production, including, besides the precise steps of actuation and milling (back and side), also tolerance checks and lifting of heavy parts. The prototype wax panels were assembled together on a wooden substructure. Rebar were assembled according to the 3d model, following the wax surface double curvature and in a similar layout as the final structure. Concrete spacers ensured the right distance between the rebar and the Prototype’s surface. # My role in the team was mainly the fabrication of the wax panels. I was reading the 3d model, preparing several of the fabrication files and running the robot scripts on the KUKA robot. At the analysis phase I suggested an improvement in the actuation script (definition in Rhino-Grasshopper). During the assembly phase I was controlling the right implementation of the structural details, as they were defined in the 3d model.

Meta Predictive Matter _variable property material fabrication Post-Graduate Thesis MAS ETH ARCH / CAAD Group members: Stella Azariadi, Evangelos Pantazis, Daniel Rohlek Research mentor: Ludger Hovestadt Tutors: Knut Brunier, Hua Hao, Kretzer Manuel, Li Li 02/2013 “Meta Predictive Matter� can be described as an investigation on developing architectural concepts, implementing them computationally and rendering them materially. We use abstract representations of everyday images, and material textures to produce fused maps that we express geometrically. We envision to create a fluid spatial experience that reflects on a continuous material variation. The use of a material gradience in order to stimulate spatial gradience effects has led us to an investigation of the materials and fabrication techniques under the scope of FGMs (Functionally Graded Materials). The continuation of the initial thesis project by Stella Azariadi and Evangelos Pantazis towards the creation of a 1:1 materially graded surface element is being sponsored by IKEA Stiftung Schweiz and is going to be completed by October 2013.

In the era of digital fabrication the available methods for creation of a novel forms (CNC-milling, laser cutting, 3d-printing etc) offer various textures to materiality. The group intended to create a novel texture, one that would be a mix of existing material textures, preferably a result of an additive 3d-printing method. The first results that resemble the design intentions were produced using molds. The outcome is so far a result of analogue methods in synthesis and in fabrication for a digitally produced texture.

Spatial Aggregations 2 Elective Thesis (WFA). Gramazio & Kohler, Architecture and Digital Fabrication, ETH Zürich Group members: Stella Azariadi, Sonja Cheng, Ivana Damjanovic, David Jenny, Andreas Kissel, Jennifer Koschack, Bo Li, Joe Liao, Lukas Mersch, Evangelos Pantazis, Stylianos Psaltis, Gabriela Schaer, Katharina Schwiete, Enzo Valerio, James Yeo, Sasada Yushi Collaborators: Luka Piskorec (project lead), Ralph Bärtschi, Thomas Cadalbert, Volker Helm, Ena Lloret, Ammar Mirjan, Max Vomhof Sponsors: REHAU Vertriebs AG 06-07/2012 The theme of this elective thesis was to examine the possibilities that the use of robot can offer to construction processes. Continuing the study on the projects of the respective elective course, the initial designs were further developed towards one form. The suggested pavilion of 6 x 6 x 3 meters was assembled out of 700 meters of PVC pipes (32 mm) that were cut and pierced using the Chair’s robotic facility. The joining suggested, as well as the optimized assembly sequence, proved to be a crucial factor towards a successful building process. The individual elements were connected in a way that the final outcome would be both unique and coherent form, indicating the potential of such design processes in current digital design and production era.

The one-month workshop (WFA) included a desing phase for the pavilion form with the necessary material and connection tests for the figuring out of the construction detail (node), which was followed by the fabrication and final assembly phase. # During the workshop my role focused mainly on the construction detail design, on the fabrication of the pieces (working with the robot) and on the pavilion assembly process. 32 23

Geodesic Dome + Artificial Sky Dome Project. Team [K]-onstruction, Department of Architecture, Polytechnic School, University of Thessaly, Volos, Greece Client: Department of Architecture, University of Thessaly Design team: Stella Azariadi, Sofia Bagiartaki, Aikaterini Drakou, Kalliopi Kanellopoulou, Panagiotis Nikolakis, Nearchos Theodoulou [Students of Architecture Engineering] Collaborators: Vrontissi Maria [Project Leader- Architect Engineer, Lecturer UTH], Dr. Tsagrassoulis Aris [Lighting Designer, Assistant Professor], Dr. Sofianopoulos Dimitris [Structural Engineer, Assistant Professor], Lazarou Tasos [Mechanical Engineer, Fabricator] Completion date: 04/2008 The custom designed Geodesic Dome was constructed in order to become the bearing structure of the artificial sky of the Department of Architecture of the University of Thessaly (Volos, Greece). Six senior students worked under extensive supervision of the project leader and with the help of professional specialists during the five-month long project focusing on geometry, lighting and fabrication studies. Precision in design, but also flexibility for the lighting installation, low cost and easy mounting performed by the students, determined the final result.

Although the fabrication files prepared manually, the 2.90 m high (incl. the base) and of 2,00 m radius geodesic dome was successfully assembled within 4 hours by an eager group of 10 architecture students. # In this project apart from participating at the initial phase in the structural research, the fabrication tests and the mock-ups design and fabrication, my main task was the design of the star plate connector. This involved, solving out the construction detail according to the fabrication constraints and the material characteristics and adjusting the struts lengths accordingly. The design software I used was Autocad 2D & 3D and all the design was performed manually with minimum tolerance.

Geodesic Dome “Revisited” Research project: Digital tools in the architectural design of a geodesic dome Research group: Stella Azariadi, MAS ETH ARCH/CAAD Zürich, Dipl. Architect Engineer UTH Volos Maria Vrontissi, Lecturer UTH, Researcher D-ARCH, ETH-Zürich 09/2011 A few years after the completion of the ‘Geodesic Dome project at the University of Thessaly, the project was “revisited” and the design process ‘re-engineered’ in the spectrum of the use of the recent advances in design technologies. The research resulted into an inclusive model that contains the necessary geometric, structural, material and fabrication constraints, which allows for a dynamic manipulation and control of parameters at any given time; thus reconfiguring in real time the design.

Use of Grasshopper (Rhino plug-in) in order to sort out the different types of struts
# In this project, I used my experience in the design of the Geodesic Dome project (completed in April of 2008) in which I was involved in the design of the joints. In the project’s “revision”, I created the definition in Grasshopper (Rhino) based on the same design principle of the structure, uniting the design and fabrication process.

Vertebrae. Play Installations Diploma thesis. Department of Architecture, University of Thessaly, Volos, Greece Group members: Stella Azariadi, Eleni Azariadi Supervisors: Evelyn Gavrilou [Lecturer UTH], Iris Lykourioti [Lecturer UTH], Maria Vrontissi [Lecturer UTH] 07/2010 Vertebrae are a series of play installations. Their design resulted from the way children play and from their needs, depending on their age. Child movement is outlined in a diagram and diagram becomes a carrier of actions and a mean of play. Vertebrae’s ergonomy, safety and fabrication restrictions were included into a parametric 3d model and their fabrication was realized within a “file to factory” process.
vertebrae. play installations
Geometry was described parametrically in GH and Rhino. Having as a starting point the quadrilateral shapes of the diagrammatic motion-analysis phase, form was produced by lofting these quadrilateral shapes. The GH definition, served as a “control panel� were distance and height between vertices were monitored and regulated. This allowed constant overview of the parameters of the form and compliance with safety regulations and fabrication restrictions (available material size etc).

Vertebrae summary table
Vertebrae catalogue
Vertebrae of all series (A, B, C, D) are organized in a catalogue were their general characteristics are described (dimensions, uses per age group, etc). The catalogue also includes a summary table and proposed combinations. Vertebrae can compose infinite number of installations, because of their total number (24) and because of their unusual form and multiple faces. However, a research was conducted using small scaled models and asking children of 7-11 years old to imagine their ideal play installations with vertebrae. The results, formed a combinations catalogue that is included in the vertebrae catalogue and can be used as a guide by the prospective buyer (municipality, nursery school etc).

Subtraction of the interior void out of a cube
Base structure and pavilion exploded view
The initial shape of a cube was carved out creating an internal space for conducting the tea ceremony in a somehow isolated atmosphere. Closely distanced parallel frames would create a nice effect of depth. Each frame was then subjected to an iterative subdivision process with the use of attractors, creating areas of varying transparency. The final result appears to be a fine structure of lattice like wooden frames that create a play of light balancing between transparency and opacity. # During the concept development of the project I was working on the construction details, while I worked also together with other group members on the implementation of them in Grasshopper (Rhino) and later in fabrication. During the fabrication process I prepared the fabrication files in Rhino (nesting of pieces), exporting them in CamBam CNC software and participating in the cutting of the pavilion parts at the CNC cutting machines. left : the pavilion as it was exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), Taipei, Taiwan, 2012 right top : view of the parallel frames on the inside right middle : production process at the CNC cutter right bottom : 3d model of the final pavilion design *Official Blog of the workshop “Teahouse 2.0�

The goal of the second Module was to generate a structure using CAD/CAM technology (Chair’s KUKA robot) within a process that would highlight the potential of these ‘file to factory’ procedures.
brickolage
Tiling detour
A self-standing structure was created using a Reaction-Diffusion algorithm in Processing. The free-form double-curved mesh surface was analyzed into voxels and organized into groups of bigger bricks of different orientations (x, y, z) according to the cutting restriction of the robot’s tool. The result was a smooth manufacturable surface possible to be constructed out of the available YTONG blocks. The main geometry was then divided into 8 parts depending on the load, means of transportation and easier assembly. Each part was built manually by gluing the robotically fabricated bricks together, using cardboard formwork to keep the parts in place during assemblage. After the glue had dried out, the finished parts were loosely attached to their neighboring ones creating the pavilion. # My contribution to the project was at the beginning in the material testing group and during the fabrication phase I was mostly involved in the preparation of the final files in Rhino, nesting the bricks on the larger YTONG blocks and using a Phython script to prepare the files for the Robot.

It is an ensemble of thin-film dye-sensitized cells, electroactive polymers, screen printed electroluminescent displays and eco-friendly bioplastics. The energy produced by the solar cells is stored in batteries and distributed by the use of microcontrollers to the respective elements.
phototropia
Phototropia is a proposal for an experimental architecture that can decay while actively being renewed, as a response to our times of tremendous globalization, increased connectivity and digital identity. # In Phototropia project I was a member of the group that was responsible for the design and production of the electroluminescent elements (EL). Besides producing the ELs with the rest of the group members, as a group representative I was in contact with the sponsoring company for the acquiring of their expertise and for the on-time supply with the necessary materials.

Interactive Shell DIVE 2010 International Workshop. Designing and Inhabiting Virtual Environments - Bridging the gap between physical and virtual. Faculty of Architecture, Ljubljana, Slovenia Group members: Stella Azariadi _University of Thessaly (GR), Panagiotis Nikolakis _University of Thessaly (GR), Cristian Gheorghe _University of Ljubljana (SL) Tiago Gloria _ESAP Porto (PT) Supervisor: Gonçalo Castro Henriques _ESAP Porto (PT) 05/2010 French Revolution Square in Ljubljana is a square that on a daily basis is a crossing point. Lack of sitting places, as well as lack of interest spots to make people spend time on the square make it an empty public space. Analysis movement diagrams become threedimensional shapes, giving people’s routes intensity in space. An interactive shell of changing dynamics, adapting to changing demands was the concept of the intervention.
interactive shell
Groups intention where to convert the square from a transit place to a local point of interest, with this “live” shell giving a changeable character to it. The shell adapts its form to various events held in the surrounding buildings of the square (gallery, museum, concert hall etc), creating sitting places, sheltered parts for visitors, with its form not affecting passers-by movement.Its structure consists of telescopically length changing metal pipes. Triangular surfaces are covered by synthetic fibers tissue of great elasticity that can follow the changes in the structure’s form. # In this project, besides playing a basic role in the concept development phase, I created the GH definition for the interactive shell.
