Shape to Fabrication Lectures
Shape to Fabrication have made available videos from their previous events:
In this presentation Tristan outlines how custom routines were written for Rhino to help in the construction and fabrication of the ‘Spacestation’sculpture by Antony Gormley.
Starting with a simple Rhino model ARUP created an extended geometric model followed by custom smoothing routines based on sub-division modelling resampled into nurbs patches.
Shrikant explains Rhino’s key role in several successful projects by Buro Happold’s SMART team.
The next session in the Shape to Fabrication series will take place on the 15th of April 2009 in the Lecture Theatre at London Metropolitan University.

The Geometry of Bending
“When you bend a thin strip of plywood you get an elastic and beautiful curve. What geometry does this curve follow? Is the curve different for different materials? Can the curve be calculated if you know the length of the material and the anchor points? Is it possible to calculate more complex situations with several forces in different directions? Can you make similar calculations in 3d? Can this geometry be useful in design/production?”
Mårten Nettelbladt, an architect from Stockholm attempts to answer in this blog.
