Photo voltaic Steps by Nicole Cao
“Photo voltaic Steps explores how thresholds outline relationships between residential and concrete scales.
“What architectural interventions can dynamically adapt the circulatory, visible and auditory porosity between inside and exterior and home and public zones?

Group undertaking: Robotic Made 2022
“The Mille-feuille Pavilion is a robotically fabricated plywood pavilion that was constructed as a part of a workshop hosted by the Faculty of Structure and Panorama Structure (SALA) and the Centre for Superior Wooden Processing (CAWP), which occurred from 4 to eight June 2022.
“The workshop was led by Affiliate Professor David Correa of the College of Waterloo, Oliver David Krieg of Clever Metropolis and Affiliate Professor AnnaLisa Meyboom from UBC SALA.

“Slightly than utilizing straight, pre-cut sections, the pavilion investigates the boundaries of elastically bent plywood to create a free-form and lightweight, self-supporting construction.
“The design pushes every part to bend to its restrict, when the curvature asks for a tighter radius than the wooden can accomplish, a sample of lamination begins.
“The ensuing design celebrates the formal potential of the curved plywood whereas constructing sectional depth by way of the mille-feuille-like meeting of a number of layers.”

The Tiber Museum by Gareth Bracewell and Cian Hrabi
