Broken beauty. or: Breaking test of a joint for r Broken beauty.

or: Breaking test of a joint for reciprocal frameworks.

The picture is a close up of the fracture area of a wood joint. It is designed as an integral joint made from wood only for a reciprocal framework. There was no tracking of forces or displacement during the test, it was just a test of the behaviour of the material (which went as expected). The major failure was due to the tension forces in the lower half of the cross section. That is why you can see how the fibers were downright pulled apart.

The geometry of the joint was made of pine wood on a Stepcraft D.820 with a custom 4th axis.

HR Giger meets Zaha Hadid. I expected something m HR Giger meets Zaha Hadid.

I expected something more extreme. Maybe those two are too similar in a certain way.

Farnsworth-treehouse. Mashing up known architectu Farnsworth-treehouse.

Mashing up known architecture with random expressions really is fun. Not sure if Ludwig would've liked this one though.

Prompt: "a strange, yet simple shape floating abov Prompt:
"a strange, yet simple shape floating above a forest, it is foggy, early in the morning, the scenery is inspired by simon stalenhag"

Got my beta invitation for midjourney and burned through the free trial really quickly. It's really simple to use: You enter a text prompt as a description for your image and the AI creates it. After each result you can create more variations and upscale the result.

I got carried away with sceneries inspired by Simon Stalenhag. In case you don't know him you should watch "Tales from the Loop".

Disconnected julia set (cantor dust) for c = -0.6 Disconnected julia set (cantor dust) for c = -0.6 + 0.6i.

Picture was generated using the transformation approach. The inital point cloud is drawn in circles with different radii, 892000 points in total. After ~18 iterations they reach a steady state. All iterations are shown at once, the older ones have a smaller brightness value.

Scripted in processing.

Form study for an active bending timber gridshell. Form study for an active bending timber gridshell.

Following some recent test builds this is the final form study for an active bending timber gridshell. The whole structure is based on a single module which fits into a triangular grid. The picture shows three independent modules, but theoretically the structure can be expanded continuously.

The geometry was generated with Grasshopper. The system lines are generated as geodesic lines on a reference surface. This is necessary because there should only be torsion and bending on the weak axis of the slats. The wooden slats are actively bent into shape, which means that the geometry shown in the pictures is not final. It also depends on the support conditions, weight of the construction and the pretension through bending.

The span is about ~4 m, the height in the middle is about ~2.1 m. The slats' dimension is 7.5 cm x 0.4 cm. Right now there are 3 layers in each direction, but this might change during upcoming tests. Knot details and bracing of the structure is under development. The pre-dimensioning regarding the maximum curvature was determined using @karamba3d.

Geometry was created using Rhino/Grasshopper/Karamba3D.
Rendered in Blender/Cycles.
