ANIMATED SYSTEMS // ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion 2010

Assignment 2 


Animated Systems Video 

The temporary pavilion was developed as a structural demonstration of computational design tools, digital simulations and material properties research at the Institute for Computational Design in Stuttgart.
The result is a bending-active structure made entirely of extremely thin, elastically-bent plywood strips. The project focuses on form generation informed by material properties and their physical behaviour.
The structure assembly is based on the elastic bending behaviour of the 6.5 millimeter thin birch plywood strips, that were robotically manufactured as planar elements.

ANIMATION DEVELOPMENT


PART 1 // PAVILION CONSTRUCTION PSEUDOCODE: 
1. grow interior circle 
2. grow exterior circle 
3. divide circles into points 
4. grow arc between points
5. lift 1/3 points on exterior circle 
6. hide original arc // grow back 
7. hide initial points
8. grow second arc connecting to lifted points 
9. remove every other curve & points
divide into points that move 
10. show points movement inwards / outwards 
11. show points movement laterally 
12. grow curve from these points 
13. grow surfaces from these curves 

PART 2 // ANIMATING PARAMETERS & CAMERA: 

 - grow bending timber strips 
 Changed Parameters: 
 - base circle radius 
 - pavilion + entrance heights 
 - bending deformation 
 - number of timber strips 

Camera rotation: camera location path rotation + height; lens length
