0RN8 is interested in pursuing the creation of novel interiorities through the articulated elaboration of experimental and existing structural systems. The development and differentiation of each tectonic system
experiment that is under analysis occurs within the defining parameters
of the system’s own inherent logic. The team’s design research work
commenced with a variety of parametric design
studies, where the issues of frame and fabric were investigated, along
with the notion of generating multilayered, tectonic systems, where each
of the layers was generated in an autopoietic manner.
After experimenting with generic parametric systems, the filigree interiors of the Gothic tectonic
systems were chosen, as historical precedents that are the most
efficient, in terms of aesthetic richness, qualitative differentiation,
piecemeal construction and part-to-whole relationship intensities. Using
the Gothic vault bay tectonic system as a starting point, an analysis
of arch, rib and profile curvatures, as well as variable thicknesses and
depths takes place, in an attempt to parameterize the entire vault bay
structural system. This parameterization will eventually lead to the
creation of a novel, autopoietic and parametric, proto-design system,
which will give birth to a variety of inherently multi-systematic and
adaptive interiorities.
Using a set of operations based on parametric component models and
scripting, a rigorous re_evaluation and reinterpretation of the Gothic
tectonic system is achieved. The research design process suggested in
this thesis preparation document commences from basic parametric
experimentations, which are based on the apprehension of the Gothic
system as one of rigorous and consistent construction and articulation,
as well as a system of force transmission and equilibrium. Further
modeling and scripting experimentation with the concepts of the
parameterization of the Gothic vault bay, of field component
organizations, of globally affected field and mesh geometries, as well
as coloration differentiation induced, form_generating patterns, inform
the current system deployment tactics. The outcome of the aforementioned
design research process will be the creation of interiorities of
multi_layered complexity and differentiation; eventually, these will be
generated intrinsically and autogenously in_situ, and constructed
according to contemporary prototypical design and fabrication protocols,
based on the current AA Design Research Laboratory’s agenda.
