Current construction methods and materials are loosing familiarity
with the plasticity of the new architectural forms generated by
constantly developing digital design tools and the algorithmic design
approach. In order to reunite the processes of design and construction,
TektonFluid is envisioned as a construction system that translate bits
into atoms through material deposition based on function, creating
varied density composites with biotic and abiotic materilas. Generators
are the fabrication machine, with dual extruders that travel through
snail-locomotion during fabrication. Initially fabricated composites are
capable of adopting to the changing field-conditions through material
computation and bio computation, increasing the life-span of the
design object while decreasing waste material. Maker’s Factory is the
first hypothesized application of TektonFluid. The factory is a place for
fabrication for any designer working at any scale. It holds program spaces
towards material production, design hub, fabrication units, and storage.
