WORKSHOP FABRICATION INTELLIGENTE - 2017

DOMESTICAL WILDNESS


We conceived a bridge that reunites the similar characteristics of our initial bridges we designed in the first week: superposition, frame, and regularity. Our desire was to complexify the project, so we built up a frame that highlights irregularity though well thought out and structurally viable. The main load bearing elements of the bridge are two irregular trusses. The diagonals of each truss are composed of two groups of elements which lean towards each other. Their superposition offers a random appearance of the project. With the help of Karamba, we created a parametric algorithm to obtain a visually random model but with an optimal structure. The project evolved all week long thanks to the simulations of the bridge deformations and also due to the creation of 1:10 models. Indeed, we improved the bridge structure to the maximum. To bring an additional factor to the design, the deck of the bridge is independent from the structure of the side trusses and varies its heights at specific points.All of this allowed us to create a new space easily appropriable for everyone.
