octa hedron & vinyl Project: FOLD // Passagen Cologne 2014 Team: CIAD Cologne Institute for Architectural Design (Fakultät für Architektur / Fachhochschule Köln) S uperartitecture, Dingfabrik e.V Year: 2014 Product: ALUCOBOND® Internet: Website CIAD VINYL Pavilion The focus of the experimental design for the “Vinyl” Pavilion was on linking of digital and analogue form-finding and production processes, especially linking the principles of standardised and non-standardised production of building components. The structure consisting of 2500 records and 58 milled ALUCOBOND® supports was developed using a parametric built 3-D model and numerous analogue distortion tests. The records like a shingle cladding, provide not only protection from weather and a translucent façade but also a stiffening element in the buildings supporting structure. The fundamental framework for the “exciting” interlocking system are 58 form-optimised vertical ribs made of ALUCOBOND®. The 3-D model and the production data (G codes) for the pavilion were created and applied using Rhino 3-D software, Grasshopper 3-D plugin (generative, parametric modelling) and RhinoCAM.
