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

Aluminum Tectonics

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

Aluminium Tectonics – Kimran Farooq

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,

Stanley Fu – Aluminium tectonics – Precedent and Idea 1

Before the Interim, everyone was put into groups of 3. The interim started off with with each group presenting what they have learned during the times we met up at ash and lacy’s and the ideas we have come up

Stanley Fu – Aluminium tectonics – CNC machine process (Computer Numerical Control)

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

Aluminium Tectonics: Prototype Construction And Testing

Testing the first piece of Aluminium on the CNC Machine with the New cutting tool. Our first concept idea coming to life although there were a few hiccups which would need improving for the next test which are listed below, 1. Bending the thick

Team I – Concepts:

Inspired by a feather we have started to collect ideas and came up with the concept of a rotating shading system.               The next step is to develop these models into a 1:1 aluminium

Project Brief

An effective shading system prevents overheating in a building’s interior. The aim is to reduce energy consumption for cooling and lighting and to provide a glare free environment. As designer become increasingly concerned with passive design several companies are offering
