Following my stage 1 research, stage 2 is to find the intersection between the two discreet but relatable topics. For me the intersection comes naturally as an exploration of “contemporary craftsmanship”, which is both evident in the making of Coop Himmelblau’s BMW Welt and Iwamoto’s documentation of digitally planned and fabricated projects.
The making of BMW Welt explores the idea of craftsmanship in a grander scale i.e. how to incorporate all design concerns and “craft” the building through the use of digital planning and form finding programs, where as the smaller scale projects documented in Iwamoto’s book explores craftsmanship in much smaller and detailed scale i.e. how the fabrication process can affect the design to maximize variety while minimizing budget. The student project Digital Weave is particularly interesting to me as the student explores the possibility in intersecting the weaving algorithm and the fabrication methodology of sectioning, which is also the main topic I explored in assignment 1. This becomes the driving idea of my modeling proposal for assignment 3 i.e. to find the intersection between my exploration of the weaving algorithm with the method of fabrication.
