The age of digital information is rapidly evolving into its next stage- the transformation of matter. How can digital information give life to novel applications and uses of industry standard materials?
A complete paradigm shift of the relationship between man, machine and material is needed as we enter a new industrial revolution.
The talk will share some of the office’s work using unique algorithms for design-to-fabrication workflows that try to challenge the classic perception construction.
From mathematics of Origami to dynamic finite element analysis, the office works to bridge between the digital and physical with a mission to bring freeform design and customization to the mainstream construction sector.

Xavier De Kestelier // HASSELL” el_class=”siva_prog”]
The AEC industry often looks at the automotive and aerospace industries on how to develop its own design technology and methodologies. As an industry, we often feel like the poor, not so technologically developed cousin of the more developed and engineer heavy industries.

Xavier De Kestelier from HASSELL opposes this idea, and will show how a design focussed approach can unlock new potential in a field that is traditionally engineer driven.

The HASSELL design proposal for the 3D Printed Habitat for NASA’s Centennial Challenge is a perfect example of this. HASSELL sought perspectives from outside the traditional aerospace industry to explore how a human habitat could be designed and delivered on Mars using autonomous 3D printing technologies. HASSELL partnered with Eckersley O’Callaghan to design the external shell, which could be constructed entirely by autonomous robots using Mars’ natural regolith..[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”12:35pm // KnitCrete: Stay-in-place formwork for complex concrete forms
Mariana Popescu // Block Research Group” el_class=”siva_prog”]

To address the increasingly urgent requirement of decreasing embodied energy and waste in construction, my research brings together advances in digital fabrication, computation, and structural design. It looks at reducing material demand both in terms of structural volume and during the building process, specifically for concrete.

Designing structures that intelligently include structural performance and architectural geometry leads to beautiful, economical and structurally optimised systems that use very little material. However, their expressive, intricate and bespoke geometries can be challenging to build with traditional formwork methods that rely on single-use cut timber or milled foam. To harness the full potential of non-standard and non-repetitive efficient concrete structures, the formwork systems used for construction need to be rethought.

Using 3D weft-knitted technical textiles as stay-in-place moulds is a novel type of flexible and cost-effective solution for casting concrete structures.  Through tensioning the custom-tailored textile is formed into the desired shape and coated with a special cement-paste to obtain the mould, which becomes a basis for efficient, lightweight structures.

With an inhouse developed computational pipeline consisting of algorithms and design tools to translate any given 3D geometry into a knitting pattern in an automated way, commonly available CNC knitting machines produce intricately knitted textiles. These textiles are light, compact and can be effortlessly transported to the construction site.

The system was deployed at an architectural scale with KnitCandela, a four-meter-tall curved concrete shell with a knitted textile formwork supported by a steel cable-net built at the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC) in Mexico City in 2018.[/vc_toggle][vc_separator style=”blank_divider” paddingtop=”10″ paddingbottom=”10″ el_class=”mobilni-sakrij”][vc_column_text el_class=”pozadina-coffee” css=”.vc_custom_1558452113441{padding-top: 11px !important;padding-bottom: 11px !important;}”]

Hilmar Gunnarsson & Johan Hanegraaf // Arkio” el_class=”siva_prog”]For decades architects have been using hand-drawn sketches, scale models and static 3D tools to create, study and communicate their designs. This process can be time consuming and early design decisions are often difficult to visualize, leading to costly misunderstandings between project stakeholders.

Arkio is a collaborative VR/AR design tool that makes this process more effective for everyone. With Arkio, designers can quickly prototype and validate their designs with project stakeholders, wherever they are in the world. All that’s needed is a VR/AR headset or just a regular tablet. Arkio enables designers to sketch out buildings and entire urban plans while experiencing and adjusting their designs at human scale.

During our talk we will share some of the challenges and insights gained from developing Arkio from the ground up for architectural design in VR/AR. We will furthermore give a live demonstration of how Arkio can be used to quickly sketch out various design options while working towards an overall program goal. We will show how easy it is for project stakeholders to participate, enabling everyone to be involved in finding the best possible design option in a more efficient way than possible before.[/vc_toggle][vc_empty_space height=”30px” el_class=”mobilni-sakrij”][vc_toggle title=”2:30pm // Silicon and Sawdust – Deconstructing Construction
Richard Harpham & Abhijit Oak // Katerra” el_class=”siva_prog”]Darwin suggested that, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” And things are changing.

The construction industry has been mistrustful and adversarial , often resulting in a messy ‘blame the customer, don’t trust, don’t share’ environment. However, the language of carpenters, brick layers, electricians and plumbers is being replaced by the language of factories, robots and supply chain management.

Katerra is a young company fully focused on leveraging these trends to realise an opportunity to dramatically improve construction productivity. With its extensive product development and acquisition activity, Katerra has amassed knowledge across every element of the building supply chain, creating a generational opportunity to develop transformational construction technologies and methods.

During this session, you will learn how Katerra went from 50 to 5000 employees in under 4 years and understand how it is  developing the technologies to keep pace with its meteoric growth.[/vc_toggle][vc_empty_space height=”30px” el_class=”mobilni-sakrij”][vc_toggle title=”3:10pm // Advanced Robots for Advanced Architecture

For the digital transformation to happen, focus needs to shift from catering only to professionals to a broader base of decision makers, influencers and end-users. 

A web shareable, mobile friendly and game-like experience that is easy to use, will help non-technical professionals and end-users understand the role of architectural BIM models in the design and construction process. This allows them to participate more effectively and better contribute to the workflow. 
 
An immersive dynamic web environment is a widely adopted distribution channel where users can be creative and share their ideas. This is the key for change to happen.
During the presentation:
We will discuss how the web can be harnessed so it adds value to the construction industry in a cost-efficient way.
We will demonstrate how to publish BIM straight to VR online so everyone can interact with 3D models from anywhere (mobile and desktop), as well as show use case examples that would help companies to gain strategic edge.
