  • Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project.

  • Prepare drafts of your summary slide (presentation.png, 1920x1080) and video clip (presentation.mp4, 1080p HTML5, < ~minute, < ~10 MB) and put them in your root directory

INVENTION

He made an exhibition piece of furniture for a museum. The furniture design expresses the technical and constructive skills of digital manufacturing. The structure of the furniture is made of waffle-type MDF to express the movement of plastic and the complexity of digital manufacturing through assemblies. This structure, which is an analogy of bones, will be covered with MDF and acrylic panels with Andean motifs, which is an analogy of skin. The constructive potential of digitally manufactured materials will also be expressed in this skin. Within this structure, cubicle-type spaces are generated in which sculptural objects are found for the exhibition with pre-Hispanic motifs. The theme is the pre-Hispanic cultures of Peru. The intention is that each sculptural object expresses the constructive potential of each machine in the laboratory. Therefore, the expression in the details and finishes of the final object will be very important to observe its complexity. This exhibition module will have axes of rotation so that the exhibition object can be seen in all its angles. When the observer approaches the display module, it will start to rotate and background music will also turn on.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Share Alike: If you remix, transform, or build on the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.

INCOME

Initially the project had the idea of making it for my own use. However, as a university professor, it helped me to explain the paradigms of craft construction and digital manufacturing. I have presented an article to the Sigradi 22 Congress entitled: “Reflections on new paradigms of architectural tectonics in digital fabrication ” In this document I explain the piece of furniture that I have made as a case study.

The exploration of this work allowed me to think about future research, such as my doctoral thesis project on the digital fabrication of a sensory art pavilion. Where the user’s experiences are expressed through sounds, touch, sight, smell.
