Abstract Details

2009, Master of Architecture, Ohio State University, Architecture.
The paper explores the notion of a digital detail for the design and the fabrication of a multi per formative building skin. The performative aspects of the building skins are inquired using a taxonomy which classifies the envelope according to the materials, the structural system, the passive thermal strategies, the transparency and the construction techniques. The research proves the need for a rational computational approach, a digital detail that integrates the materiality, the performance and the fabrication techniques. The method employs an algorithmic process that synthesizes the information from a double curved surface to construct an emergent, a performative and an intricate detail. The process uses a recursive computing technique to generate the variations, which makes it difficult to decide a discrete moment where the transformation happens from structure to transparency or vice versa. The material and tectonic implications of the process are addressed in a smaller scale, using a material that simulates the fabrication and construction technique.
