Technological advances of recent years, and especially robotic fabrication and additive manufacturing have enabled new architectural design possibilities. .At the same time, environmental challenges are calling for lower footprint construction methods, and the recycling of discarded and unused materials or spaces.
Winding processes, originally found in fibre composite technology offer the advantages of optimised material use. In construction industry the possibility of combining these processes with sustainable material such as timber has hardly been explored so far. Wood winding is the method of using thin wood veneer stripes within a 3-dimensional robotic winding technique.
This design studio will explore the potential of the wood winding technique as a means of creating architectural and structural elements in real building applications. Specifically the students will work on the transformation of an old industrial concrete building into an office building designing the exterior façade and the interior rethinking the notion of a living space. The aim of the studio is to introduce an holistic design process integrating building physics, environmental impact, urban planning, material, and construction methods. The students will have the freedom to focus and explore a technical aspect while fulfilling all architectural design requirements.
The location would be in the Harbor of Kassel and the students will be asked to work in groups of 2. Within the studio students will be highly encouraged to participate in the Paul Bode Prize 2022 competition that Experiment Kasseler Hafen Visions for a socially productive district.
