CODE JAM - Computational Design Workshops - September 2014
In September 2014, Encode studio organized a series of computational design workshops entitled CODE JAM in pursue of its recent practice and research projects to explore new modes of design production through physical and digital methods of computation. The workshops investigated different strategies of informed design techniques through, material behavior, data flow from the physical environment, planar fabrication constraints for doubly curved surfaces, as well as, info-visualization techniques.
Participants were introduced to a set of digital tools including but not limited to Rhino, Grasshopper, Arduino, and Kinect.
Workshop 1/ 1-4 Sep. 2014
Hypars / Hyperbolic surface from structure to ornaments
//// Hypars workshop aimed to develop the computational design techniques of complex organizations of hyperbolic surfaces from the structural to the ornamental scale with respect to the planar fabrication methods.
