Controling global behavior of a surface by systematic management of local deformations. Characteristics of a surface [ global ] closely relate to the kind of local distortion applied to it; for example: Higher structural rigidity could be achieved by Aggregation & densification of the surface grid, this operation simultaneously affects the surface porosity. The overall form of the surface could be controlled & adjusted by defining a series of various local deformations and their interrelated patterns. By reverse-engineering these grid distortions and their patterns, we aim to set a system to allow us predict the global surface behavior & it's relation to various operations. Structural consistence, Formal differentia & surface porosity are set to be the main parameters of the system. This parametric system, once establish, could be utilized to create complex surfaces with transitional characteristics according to programatic demands. Specific conditions could be a result of negotiations between surfaces with different parametric attributes.

first rearch samples from a workshop with Yusuki Obuchi:







tower form development - typological and circulation shifts



tower mesh prototype:





mesh reinforcement with additional ring system:







final tower prototype with reinforced "core" void and hanging outer facade





tower reinforcement with tensegrity structure - compression loads taken by stiff elevator cores or beams, tension forces taken by facade mesh - system of woven fibres avoids structure from immediate colapse. Facade areas between tension axes are freely designed according to inner building program.

I just added your blog site to my blogroll, I pray you would give some thought to doing the same.

I precisely had to appreciate you yet again. I do not know what I could possibly have done in the absence of the creative ideas shown by you relating to such area. It has been an absolute traumatic scenario for me personally, nevertheless observing a new well-written fashion you dealt with that took me to leap over happiness. Extremely happy for this help and then sincerely hope you find out what an amazing job you were doing instructing people thru your blog post. Probably you have never got to know any of us.
