Introducing FY!-Langes

Hello my fellow microcosmonauts!!!

As an alumni of the microcosm studio, I wanted to reach back to my roots and some of my favorite people to shed some light on a fabrication installation I'm involved in at GSAPP (columbia university).

It's called: FY!-Langes.
 and here's our media abstract:

FY-Langes is an installation that is currently being designed and produced by 10 students enrolled in the Fast Pace/Slow Space technology course at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation (GSAPP), and will be on display on campus in the middle of May of 2012.

Our aim is to push the boundaries of digital fabrication and experiment with a non-conventionial material, and push the boundary of its performance in order to create an occupiable structure. The goal is to marry non-conventional cutting techniques with advanced digital design tools in a singular project.

please check out our site @ fylanges.com and help us turn this into reality!!!

fy-nance @ fylanges.com and please, please, please, spread the word!  you're crowd based support will go a long ways!  thanks in advance.

p.s. the microcosm studio is kicking-ass.  woot woot uwm!

FY!-LANGES!

Intestinal Ruff

Fiberglass Resin + Burlap = stiff grossness

Over 200' of burlap was impregnated with resin and wound into a form to create a stiff yet visually fluid panel.

The final product

a frame less panel system was a success! Forming it was a tricky process due to all the wait time and the fragile nature of Spackle, overall I'm happy with results.

The start of Spackling panels

Update...I have switched back to my original idea of Spackle and bubble wrap, it was a bit easier to control and better enforces my word "Diaphanous"








heres a start of my spackle magic. the rest of this will be posted when its completed.

special thanks to michelle,

Pike Loop

Went to the opening night for this project last week when I was in New York with Gil's IP/BIM studio. The wall is called Pike Loop- a site specific installation designed by Gramazio & Kohler Architecture and Digital Fabrication, sponsored by Storefront for Art & Architecture. It was built by an industrial robotic arm housed in a shipping container on the back of a flatbed truck. It took 4 weeks to complete and used more than 7,000 bricks (attached with epoxy).
