Form to Fabrication: Super Twists!
The Form to Fabrication and Historical Archive portion of the Super Twists Studio called for a deep analysis of case study towers, development of drawings of its existing condition, and generation of original diagrams that highlight the organization of a non-orthogonal tower's various parts.
Form to Fab
Studio participants were called on to develop structural models of existing non-orthogonal skyscrapers.
This model of Generali Tower (Zaha Hadid Architects) was reconstructed parametrically via Grasshopper, and then assembled at a 1:500 scale.
These are progress and process-related photographs showcasing the construction of the structural model through mixed-media methods. Materials utilized are laser-cut chipboard at 1/16th-inch thickness, PLA filament, and a 3D printed core divided into the four sections seen within the building.
