Free Form Design (2008)
International Workshop, Tutor: Nicolas Pauli, ENSAM (Completed)
Les Grands Ateliers de l’Isle d’Abeau (Lyon, France)
The experimental 72-hours-workshop, organised by the architecture faculties of Montpellier and Delft, has been focused on the design and the following realization of a "free form", a complex geometry structure. The theme of the structure modeling has been first faced spatially, beginning from simple sketches, scale models and 3D models, then a final design has been defined, and finally a 1:1 scale prototype (dimensions 5x2x2 m circa) has been realized using wood, foam panels and cardboard.
