Bifurcation - Myogenesis

Bifuraction – Myogenesis

Introduction:

An Exercise for the students to understand the science behind the architectural columns designed by one of the greatest Architect Antonio Gaudi. Mark Burry as a current architect who figured out the logic behind the columns has helped us to replicate the same logic into different designs executed by the students.

Procedure:

All the Students where taken to Sagrada Familia for a detailed guided tour by Mark Burry himself.
The students in this workshop where explained about the logic behind all the columns in Sagrada Familia.
Once they understood the Logic Behind these columns they where taught a grasshopper script which can help them create the same logic with different designs.
After the Design was ready, profile to create the individual shape where laser cut and the Students where given the whole machine which can replicate the logic behind the column.
Here, the Students have to use the Plaster of Paris to design the column.
With the help of the Profile generated in the Grasshopper they can shape the column using the machine designed by Mark Burry to replicate the column of Gaudi.
The Students have to use three types of plaster solution for the finishing of the column to happen.
The Column after being made are left to dry for at least three to four days.
As the column drys up the students are supposed to sand it for a smother finish.
