The form follows a diagonal approach to construction where the tension members connect one step after the other. These members are then connected to one another by horizontal bracings. The system is anchored to horizontal rails via joints and suspension cables from either sides. The horizontal rails are connected to one another by sub criss cross truss system which helps distribute the load evenly and prevents buckling.

The script has changable parameters which include: 1. Parametric control of the truss height 2. Primary, secondary and tertiary structural systems 3. Members having cross sectional thickness 4. Parametrically resolved joints which change according to the movement of the attractor point. (python script involved)

Dynamic Parametric Envelopes Year: 2021 Team: Individual Type: Generative Modeling Role: Design, modeling and visualization Developing a responsive building envelope which optimizes the workability of the facade system in terms of opening and closing of its facade panels.

The dynamic envelope is created in a series of layers.

These consist of a double facade system. A secondary curtain wall with spider like hinges and joints together with a primary system at the front which has circular opening shades and a connection glass panel just behind the openings.

The concept was to enable the glass panels to become more opaque or transaprent according to the movement of the sun (attractor point).

Ventilation Comfort Responsive Facade Generator Year: 2021 Team: Tabeer Tariq and Zhan Shi Type: Scripting and GH tool development Role: Linking data from sources, Coding and Facade development

This tool is designed to provide architects with sustainable designs strategies, which analyze the environmental data and automatically generate a comfortable and responsive facade.

13

Tabeer Tariq

This grasshopper tool is designed to generate a responsive ventilation system which first collects climate data from websites. Compares the global data from ladybug to data from real time sensors. It then evaluates if the facade should be open and closed. The tool also controls the geometry of the facade panels in 2D and 3D as well as number of sensors required through out the space. The system also controls the angle of rotation and the variable gradient with which it should open and close.

14

Selected Works

The tool contains sub-components as shown in the image on the left.

Location of the place can be changed for windrose and climate data. Efforts were made to make this prototype workable in real time as well so we connected an arduino and used a wind sensor to produce real time data.

We linked physical model with the digital in Rhino grasshopper which worked in sync together. Both would respond and open and close together as the data would feed into it.

The Robotic Touch

Year: 2022 Team: Tabeer Tariq, Yujeong Seo, Thomas Brennan, Abiola Morakinyo Type: ABB Robotic fabrication Role: Design, digital simulation, coding, physical implementation The project revolves around creating a tool and framework of anchor points to weave a fibrous material using the robotic arm and rotating table. Ideally this will result in a lightweight form that can be part of an assembly making an occupiable space. This will involve testing of: 1. Tool designs that focus on controlling tension and maneuverability around the frame and anchors.

2. Multiple forms of frames leading to the most interesting and modular result.

3. Different approaches to anchor points using hooks or bolts, finding what would most effectively work with the robots.

4. Fibrous materials with different properties such as nylon string, yarn, or twine.

Relevance and Importance 1. Utility in “clean” architecture (no chemical processes) 2. Lightweight components that could act as shading devices or structurally performative pieces

Proper tension of thread strategy

undisturbed path of robot

To maintain the straight and firm shape of the model, giving a proper tension of the thread is the most important. Without using resin, we should design not only the right frame and anchor but also the end of robot arm tool.

Considering the limitation of movement of the robot, we will design the path that is not disturbed by the robot itself. This path should be worked well with the turntable and supplier.

Implementation Strategy

Design Whole image

Designed the whole model and each unit. Aggregated 3 pieces of 5’ height column shaped models having a space to pass The aim was to connect these 3 columns together and support each on slits helping them to stand up Unit Design

Each unit has pentagon based plate on each side with hook for catching the threads, and the plates are fixed to each other with columns Process Creation

Each unit has a pentagon base plate.

The base plates were produced with the assistance of the cnc router, cutting the pieces from plywood as well as precisely drilling the holes for hooks to be inserted The plates were also designed with cutouts to reduce weight as we create a more appealing look.

Process: Assembly

The hooks are inserted and plates are fixed at a distance of 5ft from the surface with 5 radically placed central columns.At this times holes are added to the base plates to allow them to be attached to the rotating table Problem and Solution

During simulations we found out that robot was out of range so we divided the weaving pattern into 2 portions of the column for easy accesibility 21

Design

Problem and solution 1st version

Received suggestions for improvements based on maintaining thread tension and thread feeding

22

2nd version

Made suggested changes and redesigned thread tension method and thread feeding mechanusm. With a soring feeder shape like a pen, we can set the exact location of the thread feeding Initial tests showed that the amount of tension resulted in the spring being bent out of the intended TCP, losing the accuracy to reach the targets.

3rd version

Completed final version of the end of the arm tool. Tension showed that the spool holder and the feed spring provided enough tension to eliminate slack, but not too much that it bent the spring out of place.

The spring feeder was set into a solid wood base to better maintain a constant TCP.

Method

Proper Tension

Proper location and Direction

Connecting hooks to a long distance (vertical connection: farthest)

[Hook Direction], Face outside(bottom), upward(column)

Undisturbed path

Iteration

From inner hook to outer hook

[Rotating Table], 72 degrees rotation for each side

Problem and solution Singularity Weaving target points were very close to the robot and it would result in singularity in order to reach them so points were separated in 2 groups and their direction of planes were shifted and altered according to requirement Exact Position Digital model and physical model have a slightly different dimension in cutting process. Even though we measured physical model and several points, it was hard to set exact location of the path. We completed it with human-robot collaboration. The hooks can be chnaged in direction manually to adjust for robotic simulation paths 23

Code Based Workflows

Challenges and next steps

Tool rigidity and ensuring that it did not hit the frameor hooks. Getting the angles just right so the robot arm doesnot hit the frame and lead to singularity errors. Reconciling digital model and codes with the irregularities of the physical frame.

The next steps include refining the robot movement to have even more precision, as well as constructing more frames in order to link them together into an occupiable soft structure.
