ABSTRACT Base on our research cluster topic, we combine the project design with the use of AR technology to achieve human-machine interaction. At the same time, we conducted a wealth of material research to optimize our design based on material characteristics and research results. The use of AR technology not only makes our design process more human subjective, but also makes our fabrication process more intuitive and clear. In the first two chapters, we will introduce some of our previous research, including design language and a variety of material research and testing. Mainly can be divided into three design projects, Circle Packing, Interactive-Gene and Fluid Dynamic. Each project has its own different focus and elaborates on different design logic. After the basic research, we began to combine material research, design language and AR technology to design and generate. This is the content of our third chapter, Mindcraft. In this chapter, we focus on the interaction between human and machines through both digital design process and fabrication. We are also aiming to embrace our design with Human-AR collaboration. We utilise wood and steam bending to transform our digital design to real physical sturcture. Base on wood behaviour, we explore a way that made HoloLens as an indispensable tool in the design and fabrication process.

EARLY STAGE DESIGN EXPERIMENTS | FABRICATION
PATTERN STUDY Before we determined which coating to use, we began to consider the effect of different textures on the hardness of the fabric. So we tried different textures and compared them.
Type A The textures on both sides are distinctive and have some stability and extensibility.
Type B This texture is ideal for making curved surfaces, especially for the back.
Type C There are too many arches and empty spaces in the texture, making this pattern very easy to be flattened.
Type D The production process is the easiest, but it requires external force to keep the pattern.

WEAIRE–PHELAN STRUCTURE
The Weaire–Phelan structure is a complex 3-dimensional structure representing an idealised foam of equal-sized bubbles. We assembled 6 individual components in the same size to find the logic of how particles can be gathered to form a structure with the least area of surface between them.

CIRCLE PACKING
The goal of our project is using a simple and diverse set of elements, through the logic of cell aggregation and growth, while adding rich color changes, a variety of curved surfaces are formed. Also, the surface can change shape and size by self-growth of the cells. We studied circle packing and used it as our design logic to form a rich surface shell. In the fabrication section, we tried many different materials, including felt sheet, tracing paper, plywood, and acrylic. In the end, we chose acrylic as our main material, and based on this, we tried different shapes and sizes of components. By varying the size and direction of the curved surface, different architectural proposals can be formed, such as chairs and pavilions.

SHAPE RESEARCH CONNECTION RESEARCH | ENWINDING we also try another type of circle that is plastic spring ring. It has a certain hardness and can support its own form. We connect the plastic rings together by its own spiral texture, which can form a variety of morphological possibilities and rich morphological changes.
Advantage 1. easy to combine and connect, can be stretched to shape 2. the basic unites can growth in all direction and form a complicated shape Disadvantage 1. the material is not strong enough 2. the shape cannot be stable

SHAPE RESEARCH | SELF-SUPPORTING CONNECTION RESEARCH | MORTISE AND TENON JOINT (INSERT) We chose the sphere as the shape of our basic elements. The ball was a 3d form, so it could be connected to another unit in any direction for maximum self-growth. At the same time, the ball and the ball could be squeezed each other to form a self-supporting form. Plywood has a certain hardness to ensure the stability of the shape. To execute a precise physical model, we used laser cutting.
Advantage 1. the shape can growing in all direction 2. the unit connect together without glue or other materials Disadvantage 1. too random to control the shape 2. plywood isn't strong enough 3. the connection isn't stable

EARLY STAGE DESIGN EXPERIMENTS | CIRCLE PACKING
SHAPE RESEARCH | ACRYLIC CIRCLE We choose the ring as our basic form. First we built the basic unit model in rhino, then obtained the basic acrylic sheet by laser cutting. Next we bonded the acrylic sheet together with acrylic glue to form the basic unit. We have made rings of different sizes, so that we have more possibilities of form in the process of generation, while the form will be more abundant.

SHAPE RESEARCH | ACRYLIC CONE We also tried to use the cone as the basic unit, which can reduce the gap between the unit and the unit, because they can be close to the surface. The other generation logic is the same as the previous one.

SHAPE RESEARCH | ACRYLIC BENDING CONE
Mould Making Process
First, in order to bend the acrylic sheet better later, we need to make a conical mold with wood strips. We consulted the b-made teacher who guided us on how to make the mold.
Bending Process
In the second step, we used a thermal spray gun to heat the acrylic. After the acrylic sheet becomes soft, we quickly enclose it outside the mold and wait for it to cool and set. Repeated heating and cooling are required to obtain a perfect cone.
Connecting Method
In the third step, we connect the curved acrylic cones together with a cable tie. When laser cutting the acrylic sheet, we cut a circular hole in each acrylic sheet, which is convenient for connecting each cone with a cable tie.

INTERACTIVE-GENE
Architecture is understood as not just a building but as a dynamic spatial arrangement through the design process. We preceive architecture by interacting with it through our varied senses such as gesture, touch, sound, visual, taste, etc. The aim of our design is to explore Generative Design and Interactive possibilities and assess its role in the architectural field. The design we produce is a certain generated shape that created by the sound data from several songs and audio tracks. We are interested in interacting with our design by letting sound visualize it: it’s fascinating what can be achieved by changing predefined variables and by using different sound sources.

POLYHEDRAL GROWING LOGIC The logic of polyhedral growing is that every step extruding the surface of the polyhedral along its normal vector, and we test different polyhedrals of 4, 8, 20 surfaces. Each growing stage of the initial object resulted in its own geometry, and the more surfaces the polyhedral has, the messier structure comes out.
After adding the number of surface of a basic polyhedral it would finally become a sphere.The normal of the sphere surface containing unlimited vectors.

Since the structure of the digital model is made by a branch of particles that sticks with each other. Our basic concept of phygsical model is to aggregate all the bubbles of different sizes, and to find a connecting tool that not only can establish a stable structure, but also connects all the components as tight as possible.

FLUID DYNAMICS
Fluid dynamics is “the branch of applied science that is concerned with the movement of liquids and gases.� Our project is based on the study of fluids and how forces affect them. The movement of fluid is variable, complicated and continuous, hence we aiming to exploring how the fluid will move and change its way of behaving after applying with a force, and then generates a unique gesture. With this observation we will find a material and a method to produce a physical model that imitate this movement properly.
EARLY STAGE DESIGN EXPERIMENTS | FLUID DYNAMICS
PARTICLE MOVEMENT STUDY The idea Fluid Dynamics is based on applying a field of either strength or force with directions to a series of fluid particles, in order to control their movement and generate certain shapes that under the logic that designers give to the object.
1. Freely moving particles
2. Add one force
3. Add two forces
4. Stretching particles to all directions
5. Rolling particles

MATERIAL RESEARCH | 3D PRINTING While executing the digital model, there are so many practical conditions of choosing a material should be considered: hardness, stability, efficiency, transparency, cost and so on. Moreover, the design of fluid usually requires more on illustrating smooth structure and clear generative layers. Hence many Fluid idea object use mechanical printing method to achieve this goal. Robotic printing and 3D printing are quite common methods for this kind of execution.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Inspired by the works of architects and artisan that use wood as their material to create and produce unique and meaningful works, our current project is to use curve wood as our main material and focuses on the interaction between human and augmented reality through both digital design and fabrication process. The fabrication process has started from material testing and different fabrication method with using holographic images provided by HoloLens. During the fabrication process, we were using AR technology to materialize multiple components which cannot be produced by only human handwork and basic industrial production tools. After studying a variety of bending tools, such as the pin mould and scaffold system, we finally designed a customizable spatial frame for our design project to meet our needs for making a large amount of complex three-dimensional curves. Meanwhile, we also improved the steam processing and fixing method of wood components, and explored the possibility of our customizable spatial frame as the future development of the wood bending tool. We utilize wood and steam bending to explore a new architecture structure with these design languages: vector field, branch growing, vector flow and nursery. We are also aiming to embrace our design with Human-AR collaboration, and we designed our own AR user toolkit to provide intuitive guidelines for the public and designers, including digital design and physical model fabrication. Base on wood behavior and material test, we explore a way that made HoloLens as an indispensable tool in the design and fabrication process. This workflow maintains human individual initiative and impression, and avoids the simple mechanical labor of human.

WORKING PROCESS OF STEAM BENDING We choose steam bending to process wooden strips. The aim is to make wood pliable which can be bent by hand into specific shape. This woodworking technique can be divided into 2 steps. Firstly, using steam manchine to apply the heat and moisture to the wood. After several hours, we bend wood and left it on the mould. After drying, the wood will hold a new shape.

MATERIAL TEST | SOLID WOOD | BEECH Since the previous bending method was quite time-wasting and rigid -we had to use the benches in the workshop as our moulds. Hence we come up with an idea of designing a scaffolding set that not only has a stable structure, but also can bend the wood in different shapes and curves. We make a steel cube as the basic unit of the scaffolding set, and with assembling these individual units in flexible angles and directions, we are able to customize our wood to tons of looks that we want.

DIGITAL DESIGN LANGUAGE : VECTOR FIELD SYSTEM The ideal of vector field mainly related to orginal fluid particles. Every particle contains its own parameters of velocity, position, density and so on. After a vector field generated according to the parameters, particles moving in the vector field would generate continous trail inside the field. In order to have a overall connected structure, some curves in a certain range of distance would connect their surrondings but keep the outform of the whole struture.

DIGITAL DESIGN LANGUAGE : BRANCH The idea of branch comes from the wood behavior, which is the most common wooden structure in the real world. The main logic is to transform scatter fluid surface to get the out form, and connect closest points, then find the shortest path from the supporting plane to generate branch shape. Since the structure is not state enough to stand alone, more analysis is added in order to connect different branches.

After we have done the sketch of chair structure with carrying HoloLens, we input the curves into the Branch generating system. In order to have stable structure, additional analysis needs to be added to connect closest branches following a certain logic.

GENERAL WORKFLOW OF AUGMENTED DESIGN AND FABRICATION
Virtually Generating Process Taking the chair design as our fabricating target, we illustrate the generating steps with the help of HoloLens. To set four points as the starting position and use dragging gestures to draw the basic shape of the chair.
Material Property Comparison While trasferring the digital model into real-time fabrication, we need to consider that the property of our material, beech wood, will be broken when it reanches the bending limit. Hence it is necessary to optimize the digital model to fit the realistic factors.
Illusion & Reality Balance The most interesting part that makes Augmented Fabricaiton different from other fabricating methods is that people need to find a balance between flexible craftsmanship and precise model making. During the executing process we make some smart changes to the digital illusion that HoloLens guilds us to fabricate, which helps us to interact more with our design through both the digital and real-time parts.

SWIRL FABRICATION Before starting the chair fabrication, we chose to take the most difficult part of our model to see if our bending machine would successfully produce the model. We took two twisted stripes as the sample and put them on the machine with keeping them the same position as the digital model.
232
The holographic illusion of the HoloLens gave us a clear guidance on how to bend and twist the physical material. One of us wore the device to lead the others to make actions, as well as made adjustment to the wood to make it match the illusional image.
