M3_design_competition_detail

Within one week each student has the task to design a free standing “Parametric Paravent”. The structure has to be made from CNC-produced components that connect via a simple, rule-based system. Self defined external factors will work as parameters to introduce variation into the structure. All components should be designed according to a system that allows for both simple fabrication and setup. The use of additional fasteners and materials should be kept to a minimum. The design of both components and final structure should be continuously tested and verified by physical experiments. The Paravent has to be 2.30m high and at least 3m in length.

Intermediate Critique

A proposal for the complete space has to be presented. Each student has to submit a 3 pages pdf and a 1:10 model of a wall segment of the proposed design. The jury, consisting of the CAAD and Mathias Kohler, DFab, will then select two or three projects for further development. All other students will be re-distributed into the winning teams. Each student has 10 minutes to defend his/her idea. The projects that are selected for further development will be anounced after lunch.
