Re-Emerge Pavilion, a collaboration between AA [EmTech] and Hassell

Photography: Studio NAARO

Architectural Association (AA) Emergent Technologies & Design (EmTech) Post-Graduate Programme and Hassell in London have collaborated to create a new pavilion in Bedford Square.

EmTech Post-Graduate Programme at the Architectural Association has a long history in designing and creating structures and pavilions. This year’s pavilion is titled Re-Emerge and is the first time since the pandemic that the students could closely work together, fabricate and assemble a full-scale structure.

For this collaboration, Hassell gave the students the challenge to keep the project's carbon footprint to an absolute minimum and therefore only use reclaimed timber.

Xavier De Kestelier, Head of Design at Hassell, said, “The students really took on the challenge with both hands and decided early on to build the pavilion out of timber from reclaimed wooden pallets.”

The Re-Emerge pavilion explores new design and construction technologies that repurpose materials that have completed their first life cycle towards innovative structural formations. The project addresses themes of generative design, material computation, large-scale fabrication and assembly technologies, emphasizing the pavilion's ecological impact from the early phases of the design process onwards.

Re-emerge revives the tradition of building on Bedford Square as a collaboration between an academic programme at the AA and partners from the world of practice to test ideas at scale and imagine new possibilities.

Dr. Elif Erdine, Director of the EmTech Program, said, "This collaboration with Hassell demonstrates a successful illustration of how academia and practice can come together to discover novel solutions to complex spatial and material problems. With the support of our other sponsors, BuroHappold Engineering and One Click LCA, EmTech and Hassell explored new design and construction technologies for repurposing timber."

She added, "As designers, architects, and engineers, we share the responsibility to maintain a mindful approach towards our environment while designing and building. Our mutual insight into how construction waste can be a useful resource has originated this research into repurposing timber for an outdoor structure that is lightweight, emphasizing the project’s ecological impact from the early phases of the design process."

The EMTECH (Emergent Technologies and Design Programme) is a post-professional graduate degree at the Architectural Association open to graduates in architecture and engineering who wish to develop skills and pursue knowledge in architectural design science located in new production paradigms. EMTECH investigates new synergies of architecture and ecology through the critical intersection of computational design and fabrication.

food4Rhino webinar: Parametric Building and Façade Design with Rhino.Inside BricsCAD BIM (part 2)

Tuesday, November 23, 2021, at 1 PM CET

Explore the power of parametric design with Grasshopper natively in BricsCAD BIM using Rhino.Inside. Discover a fundamentally different approach to BIM, where design decisions come first, and the laborious tasks of manipulating BIM data and the level of detail are automated by AI. Extend this unique BIM workflow with Grasshopper, the industry-leading solution for parametric design. The combination of BricsCAD’s powerful AI algorithms with Grasshopper’s parametric design workflow expands the possibilities of design and geometry manipulation to new horizons.

This webinar will teach you how to design facades and complex building structures, experiment with various design options instantly using parametric algorithms. We will also demonstrate how any designer can leverage powerful algorithms on any geometry using Grasshopper-based components in BricsCAD BIM. Prepare scripts in advance and apply instantly to simple shapes, making parametric design accessible to a wider range of users.

food4Rhino webinar: Procedural Compute (part 4) "Urban Comfort Simulation in the Cloud"

food4Rhino webinar: Procedural Compute (part 4)

Urban Comfort Simulation in the Cloud

November 11, 2021, at 5PM CET

Procedural Compute is a cloud platform for the utilization of computational resources. The system is tailored for handling multiphysics simulation jobs used in the AEC industry. Compute is developed to seamlessly integrate with Grasshopper to keep the simulation workflow as efficient as possible.

Urban comfort metrics such as Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) are often used to assess the quality of an outdoor space. The comfort metrics are usually expressed as experienced temperature and depend on several environmental factors, such as wind speed, mean radiant temperature, air temperature, and relative humidity. While air temperature and relative humidity can be obtained from a weather file, both wind speed and mean radiant temperature must be simulated. Both simulations are quite computationally heavy, especially if done annually.

In this webinar, you will be guided through an urban comfort simulation setup with UTCI. You'll use Compute to run the CFD and MRT simulations and combine the results of the simulations in the UTCI calculation. We will take the viewers through a Grasshopper canvas that sets up the case and computes the urban comfort around a project from the Architecture Studio 3XN. The project is situated at the harbourfront in Aarhus, Denmark.

Speaker: Christian Kongsgaard is an architectural engineer focused on computational environmental design and streamlining building performance simulations. He is the Chief Technology Officer and Co-founder at Procedural.
