Phriends* for Shells
This work has started with the very quick edification of bending branches and elastic fabric temporary form work. As a form finding experiment, the idea was to leave the branches bend the way they naturally do. The shells were scanned at different stages of the fabrication to allow Robot-Spraying trajectories fine tuning.
Concept Eco-Shell:
The Idea is to Design a Shell deformed from of Igloo shape Which is more
stable by its form. The Main concept is too adapt the properties of thermal
insulation in all weather condition.
The Deformed symmetrical structure will be a prototype.
•Adapting Vernacular material like Clay, Bamboo, Fiber.
•The Base Frame Structure are Created with sets of Ribbed Bamboo by
tensioning the different pieces and tied closely with thread to maintain
the load to transfer uniformly.
•A sheet of White Fabric which has more elasticity has laid on the frame
and stretched on all the sides of frame uniformly and stitched with silk thread
to make it more stable for mud layers on the top.
•Holes on the Fabric has punctured with thick frames. The Main idea the
holes is to get Lighting inside the shell and air circulation .
•By Using of Spraying Technics with Robotic fabrication process it will be
convenient, Faster, Easier and more precise to construct it. Even Robot can
be portable.
•The Deformed symmetrical shape derived can adapt any climatic condition.
