The international workshop will attempt to respond two questions:
What are the capabilities of Digital Fabrication in Architecture of Earth?
How to combine the traditional construction techniques in earth with the CAD/CAM digital processes in the construction of full-scale architectural structures (1:1)?
The main goal is to explore the potentials of advanced digital processes in earthen construction having the morphogenesis as a reference. The final built wall will result from a parametric design.
The workshop will explore: (1) the use of Rhino and Grasshoper as creative tools for 3D modeling; (2) prototyping using CNC milling machine for full-scale construction of the final wall.
The theorical and practical workshop (66 hours) is taught in English and Portuguese and is composed by four modules: (1) 3D.E_01: Conferences; (2) 3D.E_02: Training – Rhino + Grasshopper; (3) 3D.E_03: Earth Processes – Prototyping; (4) 3D.E_04: Full Scale Construction.
Registration is limited to 20 participants with or without software knowledge. Participants will work in group. Participants must take their own laptops to the workshop. Registrations should complete the form. Once registered, you will receive an email confirming your acceptance.
