Coral is a project that merges between both the Virtual Engagement and Materials Engagement classes. The goals of this project are: first, to translate the design from the digital environment into a physical object using knowledge and skills that we have developed in both classes during the past 14 weeks, and using state-of-the-art fabrication tools. Second, is to create a unit - part - that could be replicated and then put together in an assembly - product. The assembly's dynamic nature was delivered through its parts that could be rearranged in various ways to produce different assembly configurations, and the ability to adapt to its context. The overall effect is similar to how a coral - organically - grows contextualizing its environment. As mentioned, the project will highlight some of the skills that were gained throughout the term required to complete this project, and are organized below as the project's development phases: 1. Digital Environment: 1.1. ...
Welcome everyone, If your interested in parametric design, advanced 3D modeling, and the logic that governs the interaction with the digital environment then your in the right place. This blog is dedicated for my work in the Virtual Engagement Class in the Master of Science in Digital Technologies in Architecture. The Master's program is at the University of Michigan, TCAUP, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
