Zero Carbon
The Zero Carbon Co.Lab aim was to modify and manipulate an existing Victorian house into a house that was zero carbon – or better a house with negative carbon figures. I picked this particular project as it fascinated me that buildings

Aluminium Tectonics – Final product – Gabriel Cristea
The last step in this project was to remove the plastic protection from all the aluminium sheets. Also on the presentation day we polished the surface of the aluminium for the best lights/shadows effect we could get on the surface

Aluminium Tectonics – Curved them all, now what? – Gabriel Cristea
Curving all the aluminium sheets was a little harder than we expected, simply because everything had to be done using strength, more exactly clamps. However, the process of curving them was over and then we ended up with 10 beautifully

Aluminium Tectonics – CNC, best to accurately cut aluminium – Gabriel Cristea
Next step after we finished with the wooden moulds was to prepare the CAD file for the CNC machine. Using the CNC machine is the best way to ensure a precise and accurate cut of the aluminium sheet. We prepared

Aluminium Tectonics – How to curve aluminium – Gabriel Cristea
Curving the aluminium was quite a challenge to do; we faced quite some troubles while doing it, testing possibilities for how to curve it. In the end we ended up with only one solution for how this could be achieved,

Aluminium Tectonics-Initial Ideas-Gabriel Cristea
In order to get the best out of this project, we did a lot of testing with several simple materials to test out the limits of them. Using paper and tape we checked the limits of bending/twisting each individual sheet,
