DoT III goes hyperbolic

(04-05-2022)

The elective course DoT III focuses this semester on the design of concrete hyperbolic surfaces (in this case consisting of 64 different tiles) and the parametric modeling thereof. In addition,  a construction method using a robotic formwork technique to cast the different tiles is elaborated.
This semester, these issues are focussed upon by different groups of students, ignoring the normal chronology : while the robotic formwork is designed and constructed, the other groups assume that the necessary tiles are already available and work on the global configuration of them.
