› PHILIPS Lighting, B.48 - Atria Roof /Tree of Light/» › Eindhoven, NL

› Work Project, LAVA, 2012

› The new headquarters of PHILIPS LIGHTING will be a part of the business and research campus in Eindhoven, NL. Building 48 is a two storey facility with two open and one closed atria. The central closed atria plays a vital role as an important communication, relaxation and showcase spot. While being the main concentration area for visitors and employees alike, the space is to facilitate an exceptional atmosphere of natural/artificial light and visual stimulation - a Forest of Light. › The structure of the roof is based on a seemingly complex repetitive Penrose Pattern generated based upon the input geometry of the roof. The mathematical repetition ensures a continuity of the tree like structure, while maintaining a possibility of variable structure density. This will play an important role in the future manufacturing cost vs. space light quality ratio.

Climbing ceiling Nuts and Friends climbing

› Work project, ONL, 2011

› Klimwanden is project for a series of Climbing sport facilities within student’s housing. Climbing wall for Eindhoven is a tender submission, created for the Mountain Network company. › The Climbing wall has been designed within an existing complex of students housing, mixed with some sports facilities. The constraining volume is a two level free space hall with the height of 15 m. › Project follows the design principle based on a set of polylines, ultimately controlling the triangulated shape. This simple rule gives the opportunity to style the surface according to the needs of the professional climber as well as those of the ONL Powerlines aesthetics. The result creates a continuous surface flow with folds created through the artists impression.

˅ Sand coated milled plywood triangles in the front

˄ The pyramid shaped elements are climbing helpers/obstacles which are mounted and remounted to any of the triangle parts on the wall, thus creating a variety of climbing situations

› PHILIPS Lighting, B. 48 - FitOut /Interior Design/ » › Eindhoven, NL

› Work Project, LAVA, 2012

› As a part of the relocation plan of PHILIPS Lighting to Eindhoven a new interior design and FitOut proposal has been created. The aim was to establish a mixed office/prototype lab/showcase environment where employees from different sections of the company would be encouraged to talk, exchange ideas and work together. › The concept consists of a series of Gravity Centres located at the important communication points. These Centres serve as the connection Knots between specific work environment clusters and incorporate needs for meeting, leisure, informal exchange, individual and communal workstations as well as spaces for occasional coffee break. Each of these functions have been designed into a modular, frame based, archetype. › The furniture design aims to create a special interior atmosphere where light would turn to a spatial motive. Modularity of the archetypes allow for different interpretation in the frame fill area, which opened possibilities for the development of a series of light penetrated Media Walls.

› Diploma’s project, 2010

› My vision in this project is of a homogeneous interactive system equal in its function and aesthetics. Nature reflects these conditions almost everywhere, including our bodies, which have been a paradigm of architecture for many centuries › Learning about the muscles microstructure in theory turned out to be an interesting idea for an adaptation as a structural function principle. The muscle behaviour and its transformation/adaptation in the design makes the bridge to adjust the height upon fluctuating water levels and thus allowing it to maintain constant traffic flow on and over the Danube river. › The concept is based on interaction between actin and myozin myofilaments represented by continuous strip elements. According to the myofilament principle a dense, stiff yet somewhat flexible shell of actin and myozin is generated. Thanks to the components configuration, the shell is allowed to adjust its deflection while expanding each of the 19 myozin strip components in length.

› Masarykova Station Gallery »

› Prague, CZ › Work project, E-Area, 2009

› The proposal is based on similar concept which many of the prestigious galleries in the world use today. Designed on site, that is exceptional for its proximity to the centre, the spatial quality and the potential to create a real ‘jewel’ within a ‘rocky hillside’. › The concept lies in a mass enclosed sketch, which opposes the building block in the near proximity of the Masarykova station site. It is the organic shape that unites the entire territory. In this case the simplistic rules of altitude levels, street lines, the traditional concept of doors, windows and other architectural elements does not apply. It acts more like a new landscape element which gives Prague its characteristic face, similar to the Hill Vítkov. The form is based on several key points, which serve as spread centres for the lines of force that restrain and lead the shape of the envelope. The final mass can eventually absorb the interference of automobile traffic and increases the overall value of surrounding areas, while keeping the Masarykova railway station fully operational.

work examples

› Branch Canopy » › The Branching Algorithm has been done as a individual assignment, to practice the scripting skills on a project which can be developed also after the workshop. The algorithm consists of three main logical steps : 01. generating Points in the boundary between 4 corners of a sub Surface 02. generating a branch by finding the nearest Point from the last nearest Pt found /starting at corners 03. repeating the branching process to a subdivided Surface, generating a unique branching pattern each time the process is run on a sub Surface of a Surface

› PY24HRS Python Workshop » › Barcelona, Spain

› Python Scripting Workshop, 2013

› Tutors: VINCENZO REALE (Zaha Hadid Architects + Architectural Association London) GIANCARLO TORPIANO Association London)

› Leaf Srf » › The Leaf Surface investigates the python scripting possibilities to accommodate a fairly simple panelling principle. Panels are bent in the diagonal axis according to their distance parameters to the point of attraction. A surface, populated with these customized elements can create and interesting structure with smooth transitions between closed and open /bent/ quads.

(Architectural

› The workshop seeks to answer these questions by investigating surfaces, surface mathematics and manipulations, and using this investigation to introduce students to the issues of design and fabrication of artefacts. The focus will be put on the understanding of the digital tools in relation with the common practice and the ways to approach problems a designer might encounter while using them.

› Architectural Design through Environmental Feedback » › SOLAR RADIATION analysis performed through Ecotect and evaluated back in Rhino through Geco. The Radiation data is then reused as input feed for generating variations in the opening sizes of each quad of the T8 Torus geometry › CFD WIND/AIR-FLOW simulation of the T8 Torus geometry. The workflow from Design to Analysis as a mean to improve communication with engineers regarding range of geometries under consideration.

› NEXUS Advanced GH Workshop » › Innsbruck, Austria

› Ecotect, Geco Workshop, 2010

› Tutors: [Uto] URSULA FRICK & THOMAS GRABNER /institute for experimental architecture. hochbau Prof. Patrik Schumacher/ › The focus of the workshop is to integrate and correlate the synergistic effect associated with simultaneous presence of different digital design- and analysis tools in an ongoing design process. The main attention is set on easy to handle interface , which should be used at a early stage of conceptual design to respond to external and internal influences in a intelligent and sustainable way.
