3D MODELS

Preliminary pavilion design - First proposal

Design of Kovan Pavilion - Optimized design 

DIGITAL FABRICATION AND OPTIMISATION

a- PRELIMINARY DESIGN

Production

Numerating each hexagon component in a sequence

Preparing 2D versions by using Rhino and Autocad

Design Criterias

b- OPTIMISATION

Reducing the Size



Remodeling

Numerating each hexagon component in a sequence for the new model

Coloring the related surfaces by same color for each sequence

Rotating each component to X-Y axis

Ordering the components according to their number for laser cutting

Nesting

• Using Rhinonest plug-in in order to get the best placement solution of the 2D components on the metal sheets

Cost

MATERIAL RESEARCH

METAL

               

JOINTING

                       

   

ALUMINIUM

• Silvery - white, soft, nonmagnetic ductile metal
• Remarkable for the metal's low density
• Resisting corrosion through the phenomenon of passivation
