Parametric Furniture Project

Collaborative Project Parametric Furniture is a collaborative project between the research project developed in a collaboration between the Digital Fabrication Lab and the Non-Linear Solutions Unit explored within the context of the Advanced Design Studio.

The result of the project will be presented in tree internationals events.

The Salone Statellite at the Milano Furniture Fair, the Advanced Architecture Biennal Settimo Tokio and in the international Fair Compotec.

Non Linear Solutions Unit

In a complex-structured city in which the interactions among parts intensify; in which the number of decision makers and cultural scenarios overlap, interconnect, and sometimes collide; in which the temporal dimensions of the citizens are dissimilar; in which local and global, physical and virtual dimensions co-exist, it is necessary to identify a set of design tools which could respond to design complexity.


NLSU Applied Responsive Device

Formal Modulation for
Light Performance in Residential Design:

We will explore through the use of responsive devices the capacity of architecture to answer to specific environmental requirements with its adaptable physicality. Students will be asked to investigate the possibilities that will be opened up by the modulation between the combinatory potentialities of the different criteria with their design intentionality. In this workshop we will be designing a device that will unfold a set of formal solutions through rule-based modelling and programming.
