PerformativeSurface //The goal of this project was to create an acoustically performative panel. Due to the high absorption properties of foam, we worked with layering Black Eva Form externally &  Mdf internally to provide the desired acoustic properties. The panel surface was made performative using the subtractive process of 3d-milling. Vernoi pattern was used as a design stratergy  to cover maximum surface area of the panel. We created 2 seperate panels and milled them of on all 4 sides before assembling the final piece.  Milling on all sides allowed us to form caves in which the panel could trap and diffuse sound. Since all four sides had to be milled the manufacturing process was  carefully designed to be as efficient as possible.

 

This project was developed as part of the Digital Fabrication course at the Master in Advanced Architecture program in 2017/18 at IAAC.
