  6. 5. The Weave - An Investigation into the Intersection of Craft and 3D-printing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Albin Karlsson; Johanna Jonsson; [2019]
    Keywords : Arts and Architecture;

    Abstract : This project is a proposal for structural construction through fabrication and assembly of 3D-printed ceramic bricks developed side by side with a metaphysical investigation into the potential to express the living nature of matter through its material and formal attributes. Through an explorative process in the intersection of craft and digital fabrication, we have developed a system for LDM extrusion of composite bricks consisting of an outer ceramic shell and a low-density cementitious core, an integrated design flow based on procedural generation of fractal patterns and topological weaving, and an assembly logic capable of complex architectural expressions.
