Digital Tectonics - Re:Vault Pavilion Build Time Lapse (Final)

The Structure was assembled and exhibited during Aarhus’s Kulturnatten on the 14th October 2011. For more information please visit: An Aarhus School of Architecture, studio: Digital Tectonics, we had an intensive in collaboration with University of Technology Sydney, over the past 2 weeks working over 1800 Man Hours designing; prototyping and even small scale testing to present to a pavilion that was originally inspired by Gaudi’s Principles of Invertion. Based on a script designed in Processing by Dave Pilgram, we began a form finding interrogation of what we wanted to achieve. After which we used Rhino, a NURBS program, with the aid of scripting in the language of Python, in order to logically unroll; tag and modularise each element. Thus began the process of production using technique developed by PhD Candidate Ole Egholm of Aarhus School of Architecture: laser cutting, folding, casting in concrete, joints, scaffolding and bu
