Mobile Wall Panels by morphogenesis

Indian Design firm Morphogenesis created this art retail store in New Delhi using movable wall panels design to increase display space. These fretted panels create spaces of retail that could house the complete array of art works. Through these flexible sliding panels, one big room was split into 6 smaller rooms. The entire setup has 14 movable and 3 fixed panels creating display areas. The panel system is in many ways similar to the proposal made by Marianne and Britt in our class. I would imagine that the best way to make the panel would be by means of the CNC machine, but I don't know if the straight edge look can be achieved with the CNC machine.

Boys and their Toys Exhibition at LOT

The installation follows the idea of taking sound and making it visible. They created a 3D sound surface and then applied it to a array of plexiglass.

The proposal offers the usage of natural landscape in order to create interior and exterior spaces. Terrain of the hill-like project has been sectioned horisontally in order to create a filtering method to bring light inside and define the interior space.

Parametric modeling as a tool for design, not as a final goal.

The FLUX: Architecture in a Parametric Landscape exhibition at CCA Architecture/MEDIAlab in San Francisco uses parametric modeling to define an expandable exhibition system. A “complex set of relationships defined by its formal, performative, and fabrication constraints” control a series of ribs that can be expanded by changing the parameters fed into the scripts. In this way the data, in this case student projects, creates a map of itself, separating into eight “digital practices: Stacked Aggregates, Modular Assemblages, Pixelated Fields, Cellular Clusters, Serial Iterations, Woven Meshes, Material Systems, and Emergent Environments.”

By exploiting the technology as a tool to create space, MEDIAlab goes beyond using parametric modeling as a simple representation of data and explores spatial complexities and flows created by the data.
