Matter + Digitality (en)
Angewandte Innovation Lab
The
artistic research project Conceptual Joining investigates wood constructions in a series of structural and spatial experiments.
By combining the intelligence of traditional craftsmanship with the potential of computational techniques different design
methods and techniques are developed.
The exhibition focuses on two projects that explore the
relationship between material, structure and space.
Branch Formations is about utilizing naturally grown wood elements
as components of a spatial framework. In Interlocking Spaces joining principles, derived from traditional Japanese Architecture,
are expanded by digital systematics, forming complex configurations.
The working process and results of 2.5 years of
research are presented. Full scale installations, models, videos and Augmented Reality allow for an interactive experience
of an architectural speculation.
