Historic geometry and stone cutting revisited, benches for Mathematics: The Winton gallery @sciencemuseum , @zhcode of @zahahadidarchitects (ZHA). . . For details , see @shajay_ . . The gallery has several moments of ‘pause’ including fourteen benches - designed as cast, ultra-high performance concrete benches. The shape and physical production of these furniture also owes its development to a long lineage of research in the mathematics, engineering and materialisation of a certain class of surfaces called Ruled Surfaces. . . Mathematically these surfaces have been known for centuries but it’s in depth study gained traction after the invention of calculus and is credited to French mathematicians, geometers and architects such as  Gaspard Monge (Lawrence, 2011), Philbert De Lorme and Girard Desargues (Sakarovitch, 2003) among others. Such in-depth mathematical knowledge was abstracted and captured as drawing machines and construction manuals during the 19th century (Witt, 2010). These inventions in turn, made them widely accessible and their materialisation in stone and timber significantly more feasible. These were very prominent and widely used in the 19th century masonry and timber structures (Evans, 2000)- perhaps most famously by the Spanish Architect Antonio Gaudi, in his church for the Sagrada Familia, Barcelona. . . The benches on the gallery inherit this mathematical, physical and material history and employs it in a contemporary setting including a collaboration with state-of-the-art robotic company specialising in hot-wire-cutting of foam (McGee, Feringa and Søndergaard, 2013) to produce the moulds for the cast concrete. . . #architecturefactor #archilovers #instaarch #architecture #arquitectura #architettura #architect #mimar #mimarlik #architectureporn #архитектура #архитектор #research #sketches #archisketches #archisketcher #maquette #model #superarchitects #iarchitectures #architecture_hunter #digitaldesign #design #designer #parametric #grasshopper3d #rhinoceros3d #parametricarchitecture #parametricdesign

A practice-based #architectural #design #research group is only as good as the density and quality of its collaborative network.. . . Software / design details @shajayb . . . 2015 - present | This research-based design project is an on-going collaboration between Block Research Group (BRG) and Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA). The design research explores and highlights the structural congeniality of the Parametricist Style of Architecture.Once completed, the project will uniquely combine the strengths of the two co-authors. On the one hand, the project will inherit several years of innovative research in compression-only structures and geometric methods of design of fabrication-aware funicular structures coming from the BRG. On the other hand, the project will incorporate ZHA’s extensive experience in negotiating a multitude of layers of often conflicting requirements – spatial experience, economy of manufacture, client expectations, etc. – and yet delivering an uncompromising architectural solution. . . #architecture #engineering #history #contemporary | #collaboration #zahahadidarchitects #zhcode #blockresearchgroup #philippeblock |  #parametricism new #tectonism |  #digital #masonry #roboticfabrication #stone ##stonework | #archilovers #architectureporn | #archistudent #archi_students | #atuodeskmaya #rhino3d #grasshopper3d
