ACSA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE, BARCELONA
Had a great time presenting two papers at the ACSA International Conference in Barcelona this summer. The papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Both papers had somewhat provocative titles, in keeping with the goal of “Rethinking Craft + Fab” in the

IAAC DIGITAL TECTONICS JURY
I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in the final jury for the DIGITAL TECTONICS review at the Institute for Advanced Architecture in Barcelona this summer. Special thanks to Marta Male-Alemany for her kind invitation, and Luis Fraguada for his

New 5-Axis Swarfing Patterns
The Rhino / Grasshopper CAMel plugin is now running the 5-Axis machine, generating G-Code entirely within the Grasshopper modeling environment. This supports a rapid workflow for experimentation with the possibilities offered by 5-Axis milling, such as complex SWARF patterns as

PARAMETRIC STEEL
Work in Progress by Akihiro Moriya, a student in my FABCRAFT spring seminar. The steel component geometry is produced parametrically using a grasshopper definition controlled by the surface geometry. The steel is plasma-cut on our combination 5-Axis mill and plasma

Adaptive Surface Systems
A working prototype utilizing the new “Firefly” plugin for Rhino / Grasshopper. The adaptive surface reacts to changing light conditions, reshaping the pliable insert and sending data back to the digital model in real-time. The 2-way data stream allows simultaneous
