Composites in Architectural Design Competition 2016, Skin & Bones, Honorable Mention
UCLA A.UD students under the direction of Lecturer Julia Koerner submitted ideas for composite facades, developed within the Technology Seminar "Animated Fibers" (Winter 2016). Inspired by advanced fiberglass infusion techniques within the wind blade industry, the studio researched composite fabrication of “mega-panels” while integrating robotic technology to fabricate panels without a mold.
The Architectural Division, a committee of the American Composites Manufacturing Association Composites Growth initiative, invited A.UD along with other selected institutions to participate in the first COMPOSITES DESIGN CHALLENGE for architecture students. The challenge invites students to engage in a material investigation focused on novel means of integration of composite constructions into architectural production.
ACMA asked the student teams to consider the development of an architectural/ building component or assembly that operates in a systemic way. The teams were free to imagine and interpret uses that can range from the banal to the extraordinary. In addition to the unlimited formal possibilities that the plasticity allows for, strong integration with other more normative building Systems is expected.
The ambition is to work with robotic fabrication technique, using motion to create 3 dimensional fiberglass “mega panels”; to use the robots as a precision and time based tool and motion actuator for variability between the individual prototypes.
