Ash & Lacy study visit
Presentation of our study visit at Ash & Lacy. Our group looked in particular at the CNC cutting process, as well as the more technical process of preparing files and handling the aluminium sheets on the CNC bed. Razvan Pop

This week we have presented our proposal of the entrance screen for the new Birmingham Conservatoire. After measuring the opening from a facade elevation provided by the architects of the new building we have decided to create a 1:2 scale model

After observing the complete Ash and Lacy production processes, we were split into groups and produced a presentation focusing on one of the areas, using a range of media and also producing a draft of a response to the next part of

Finally, the ‘cross louvre’ design for our solar shading system is complete. It has developed through all stages with initial designs being inspired by the simple experience of walking through a wood. The experience led to the idea of manipulating

Aluminium techtonics – Final product – Stanley Fu
After many tests with cardboard and aluminium, the final produce was ready to be made. A 4x4cm wooden frame was used to support the cladding system which would be build at a scale of 1:2. We built the model high

Aluminium Tectonics – Kimran Farooq
Our light studies show that designs 2 and 3 work most effectively as they reduce the amount of light reflecting from the facade; they reduce the amount of light entering through the windows and they don’t completely block the view

Aluminium Tectonics- Jagdeep Sehmar
The sketches show alternative joining methods we explored before finalising our chosen method. Both methods consisted of using a ‘T-joint’ that would be bolted into the substructure frame. Using this we would simply bolt the two neighbouring shading devices together

After designing the panel on CAD, and doing some card models of it, we needed to test how the design would work with the folds, as well as how flexible it is. We had left a gap between the circles

As a group we have decided to take forward the design below and experiment with it. The design consists of simple folded triangular shapes which extend from the facade, blocking the sun’s rays from entering the building and more importantly,

When we went back to Ash and Lacy’s we were separated into three groups to look at the process of making cladding. The design team sends the design sheets electronically and also physically (also known as the design package). The
