The void, the circle in the center, represents the ‘unknown’, those who are looking for new innovations to create. The museum brings together the work of designers, researchers, inventors and engineers. The work represents cultural, social, and spiritual views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I chose to share this unique project as it defines the art of Arabic Calligraphy and presents it as a part of a building. It is important to note that Arabic Calligraphy itself has its own set of math and rules like how much distance between one stroke to the next to form a symmetrical image. This project doesn’t just portray the result of architecture and engineering, but how a language can be written on a surface that isn’t just flat – like a piece of paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the founder of Killa Design, Killa wanted to incorporate his philosophy on buildings in a holistic manner. Killa graduated from the University of Cape Town in South Africa with a Bachelor of Architectural Studies and started his career towards this project in Germany. With the assistance of his team (listed above), Killa was able to make his dream a reality. To learn more about his perspective on the project see this link<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The original draft is seen below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Killa then used WhatsApp to send a photograph of the sketch to a colleague who was doing the computer modelling. \u201cThe next morning he wrote back, \u201cI don\u2019t understand\u2019,\u201d Killa says with a smile.<\/p>\n– John Dennehy<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Buro Happold, an engineering company, used computational tools to arrange the structure. One of the computational methods used was geometric rules such as common element diameter size. To tackle the curves of this project, fabrication processes were used to create different sizes of steelwork. Additionally, the processes were used to make sure that there was no waste of resources by using all available materials. I find the idea of using geometric rules interesting since it defines the basic rules for making a structure perfect. Additionally, if one small part of the math is incorrect, the entire structure could potentially fail. To read more view this link<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hi, I’m Raneem! I’m in my fourth year of school. I major in Management Information Systems and minor in Computer Science. My focus of study is data science and big data. I enrolled in this class to learn more about how I can apply big data to computer fabrication. I also want to discover all the cool and fun techniques […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sm1_23","category-studentwork23"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5131"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5131\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5170,"href":"https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5131\/revisions\/5170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}The Designer and Team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
