Pop-Up Factory
Pop-up factory opened as part of the architecture festival Make City. An experimental installation, the pop-up factory involved HENN’s performing team and the use a robot that via voice input was able to uniquely treat the surfaces of polystyrene blocks. By means of a HoloLens headset the building blocks could be placed in their allotted and appropriate positions. The participatory installation was highly popular and was the culmination of a talk that discussed the comeback of production into the cities from the viewpoints of teaching, practice and political policy.
Communication Landscapes
Seoul, 06 October, 2017: “Imminent Commons” – this year’s Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism opens the debate about the dramatic challenges global cities are facing, be they social, ecological or technological. On this occasion HENN and DDU present an interactive installation that explores the idea of Industry 4.0, digital craft and human/machine interfaces.
A Bridge Too Far
A Bridge Too Far takes point of departure in the process of robotic incremental sheet metal forming. The research prototypes and tests methods for multi-scale modeling, for the purpose of informing other scales of design with the material implications of this fabrication process, and demonstrates their application to support bi-directional information flows in the design of a panelised, thin skinned metal structure.
SheltAir
This pavilion investigates the use of air-filled cushions to rapidly, safely and cheaply erect beautiful and structurally efficient elastic gridshells for events and humanitarian causes. Scientifically developed by Gregory Quinn for his doctoral thesis at the Berlin University of the Arts, Course of Architecture.
