131004 Examples of Representational techniques¶

Representation¶

Dear all,¶

thank you for good sessions in today's tutorials, and inspiring input from the Berlin trip. In all sessions, we discussed the need to now document and represent your findings beyond screen dumps and the physcial models. We have compiled a selection of work by previous students over the years, to be found on our server at the link below. The conditions of their projectds differ wildly, and we are just showing examples from each project, but we believe that you can find interesting references on these issues in particular:¶

* How to annotate model photos and document material experiments.
* How to present principles of parametric models and material systems.
* How to combine photographs, renders and vector graphics in a way that makes the material more legible.
* The role of a graphical standard for your presentations.

131011 Important Notes for the Interim 131015¶

None¶

Dear all, a few remarks for the interim the coming Tuesday, also discussed at the tutorials.¶

1. Make sure to print your drawings the day before (Monday) - add any additional material as separate A4s etc later. Also make sure you have printing credits to do this.¶

2. Between 10 and 11 am, we want you to collaboratively set up six tables in the middle of the studio space (depending on installations being set up), more or less as the image above. Place all your models on these table, one table per team, no particular order. Also, collect more of the big cardboard screens, place them against the wall towards the stairwell, and pin up all your posters.¶

3. Have a quick lunch and be ready to start presentations from 11.30 am.¶

The first half of the interim is set up as a review. You should present your process and outcome in ca 10 min, with a following discussion for ca 10 min.¶

The second half of the review is set up as a project meeting, in which we all will discuss how your different design approaches can be combined, and how they can be located in the studio space. The studio model will be important for this conversation, as will your estimates of material use and if possible cost.¶

After the afternoon sessions, Brady Peters will give a lecture at 17.00 in room A3, make sure not to miss this!¶

Good luck, we look forward to see your work on Tuesday!¶

"For over 20 years, Snøhetta has designed some of the world's most notable public and cultural projects. Snøhetta kick-started its career in 1989 with the competition-winning entry for the new library of Alexandria, Egypt. This was later followed by the commission for the Norwegian National Opera in Oslo. Snøhetta established a New York office in 2004 after being awarded the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion Project at the World Trade Center. They are currently working on a number of educational, civic and cultural projects in North America including the expansion of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in California, the Ryerson University Student Learning Centre in Toronto, the Westchester Branch Library in the Bronx, the Isabel Bader Center for the Performing Arts at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, and the redevelopment of Times Square in New York City, expected to be completed in 2015.Simon Ewings was educated in the UK and joined Snøhetta in 2001 as Project Architect for the Oslo Opera and Ballet.

131016 Follow up on Interim and brief for this Thursday¶

None¶

Dear all, Thank you very much for the meeting yesterday. You all made a great job. It was good to see all posters printed in time and the studio space being nicely set up. Your work on the projects in models, drawings diagrams enabled a very fruitful discussion and made it possible for the jury to give qualified feedback.Now we need to proceed with Project 1 and find the best way to integrate the multiple design ideas and material systems. To take a first step into this direction we would like to ask you to have have a 'Speed-Dating Thursday' tomorrow:Yesterday during the roundtable all groups expressed their interest in the work of other groups. So we ask these groups to pair up and discuss possible ways of combining/merging/juxtaposing the projects. Have two quick sessions in the following combinations:¶

Group 1 meets Group 6Group 2 meets Group 5Group 3 meets Group 4¶

Group 1 meets Group 4Group 2 meets Group 6Group 3 meets Group 5¶

(Please feel free to have more Speed Dates with other groups which you are interested in)Discuss the following approaches to combine projects:- System transition: One system transform into the other, gradually or ad hoc- System hierarchy: One system becomes the frame/primary structure of the other- System scaling: Combination of system through a change in scale of one of the systemsDocument your findings and ideas as follows:- One conceptual photomontage of two model photos that shows the core idea of the combining moment. The image should be combined with overlying graphics of annotation as you did them for your posters.- Sketches that help to explain the approach, details etc.- Additional material which you think is most appropriate to convey your design intend.Please print the images so we can pin them on the wall!On Friday we would like to discuss your ideas and the next steps to take.¶

Place all your models on these table, one table per team, no particular order. Also, collect more of the big cardboard screens, place them against the wall towards the stairwell, and pin up all your posters.

3. Have a quick lunch and be ready to start presentations from 11.30 am.

The first half of the interim is set up as a review. You should present your process and outcome in ca 10 min, with a following discussion for ca 10 min.

The second half of the review is set up as a project meeting, in which we all will discuss how your different design approaches can be combined, and how they can be located in the studio space. The studio model will be important for this conversation, as will your estimates of material use and if possible cost.

After the afternoon sessions, Brady Peters will give a lecture at 17.00 in room A3, make sure not to miss this!

Good luck, we look forward to see your work on Tuesday!

131004 Examples of Representational techniques

Representation

Dear all,

thank you for good sessions in today's tutorials, and inspiring input from the Berlin trip. In all sessions, we discussed the need to now document and represent your findings beyond screen dumps and the physcial models. We have compiled a selection of work by previous students over the years, to be found on our server at the link below. The conditions of their projectds differ wildly, and we are just showing examples from each project, but we believe that you can find interesting references on these issues in particular:

* How to annotate model photos and document material experiments.
* How to present principles of parametric models and material systems.
* How to combine photographs, renders and vector graphics in a way that makes the material more legible.
* The role of a graphical standard for your presentations.

131023 A Projects Wiki created + Schedule Friday 131025¶

Dear all,¶

there is now a wiki page for each of the three new projects, links below. As with any wiki, the point is that you can all edit them freely. Please use these pages for communicaiton within your teams, uploading skethces and images etc - we hope you find this useful. We also suggest that you give your project a name - this could also be changed later, and you can create additional sub pages.¶

Also, there is a page where we want you to list expected material used and costs, please make sure to have this updated by Friday (this page is closed to the public, you need to be logged in to access it):¶

https://www.kth.se/social/group/studio-9-bridging-te/page/project-1-cost-estimates/edit/¶

131025 Schedule¶

On Friday, we will prepare for CNC demonstrations in the morning (i.e. you keep working), and we meet at 13.00 in the computer room for demonstrations in MasterCam. Hopefully we will also have time to run a job on the Router. At 10.00 Emma from administration will come by the studio with important information for all students (except incoming half year students), make sure to be around at that time!¶

131018 Studio Schedule

Dear all,

here is the schedule for Friday, October 18:

9:00 - 12:00 Diploma MidCrit (optional) in Red Tent

Ola (9:00) and Sare (11:30) will present and discuss the current status of their thesis. If you are interested you can join the meeting if you prefer to work on your project it is fine as well.

12:15 - 13:15 Lunch meeting: Discuss the findings of your "Speed Dating Excerise"

Bring your lunch or sandwich. We will all meet in the studio to discuss your proposals of merging projects. The Diploma MidCrit requires to have this rather short meeting during lunchtime.

15:00 - 16:30 Studio Lecture by Mårten Nettelbladt

Mårten will present his research on simulation bending behavior in grasshopper. His input is relevant for many of you.

131016 Follow up on Interim and brief for this Thursday

None

Dear all, Thank you very much for the meeting yesterday. You all made a great job. It was good to see all posters printed in time and the studio space being nicely set up. Your work on the projects in models, drawings diagrams enabled a very fruitful discussion and made it possible for the jury to give qualified feedback.

First, please upload your presentations as pdfs here, named by group number:

Now we need to proceed with Project 1 and find the best way to integrate the multiple design ideas and material systems. To take a first step into this direction we would like to ask you to have have a 'Speed-Dating Thursday' tomorrow:Yesterday during the roundtable all groups expressed their interest in the work of other groups. So we ask these groups to pair up and discuss possible ways of combining/merging/juxtaposing the projects. Have two quick sessions in the following combinations:

Group 1 meets Group 6Group 2 meets Group 5Group 3 meets Group 4

Group 1 meets Group 4Group 2 meets Group 6Group 3 meets Group 5

(Please feel free to have more Speed Dates with other groups which you are interested in)Discuss the following approaches to combine projects:- System transition: One system transform into the other, gradually or ad hoc- System hierarchy: One system becomes the frame/primary structure of the other- System scaling: Combination of system through a change in scale of one of the systemsDocument your findings and ideas as follows:- One conceptual photomontage of two model photos that shows the core idea of the combining moment. The image should be combined with overlying graphics of annotation as you did them for your posters.- Sketches that help to explain the approach, details etc.- Additional material which you think is most appropriate to convey your design intend.Please print the images so we can pin them on the wall!On Friday we would like to discuss your ideas and the next steps to take.

"For over 20 years, Snøhetta has designed some of the world's most notable public and cultural projects. Snøhetta kick-started its career in 1989 with the competition-winning entry for the new library of Alexandria, Egypt. This was later followed by the commission for the Norwegian National Opera in Oslo. Snøhetta established a New York office in 2004 after being awarded the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion Project at the World Trade Center. They are currently working on a number of educational, civic and cultural projects in North America including the expansion of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in California, the Ryerson University Student Learning Centre in Toronto, the Westchester Branch Library in the Bronx, the Isabel Bader Center for the Performing Arts at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, and the redevelopment of Times Square in New York City, expected to be completed in 2015.Simon Ewings was educated in the UK and joined Snøhetta in 2001 as Project Architect for the Oslo Opera and Ballet.

131025 Schedule

On Friday, we will prepare for CNC demonstrations in the morning (i.e. you keep working), and we meet at 13.00 in the computer room for demonstrations in MasterCam. Hopefully we will also have time to run a job on the Router. At 10.00 Emma from administration will come by the studio with important information for all students (except incoming half year students), make sure to be around at that time!

131018 Studio Schedule

Dear all,

here is the schedule for Friday, October 18:

9:00 - 12:00 Diploma MidCrit (optional) in Red Tent

Ola (9:00) and Sare (11:30) will present and discuss the current status of their thesis. If you are interested you can join the meeting if you prefer to work on your project it is fine as well.

12:15 - 13:15 Lunch meeting: Discuss the findings of your "Speed Dating Excerise"

Bring your lunch or sandwich. We will all meet in the studio to discuss your proposals of merging projects. The Diploma MidCrit requires to have this rather short meeting during lunchtime.

15:00 - 16:30 Studio Lecture by Mårten Nettelbladt

Mårten will present his research on simulation bending behavior in grasshopper. His input is relevant for many of you.

131016 Follow up on Interim and brief for this Thursday

None

Dear all, Thank you very much for the meeting yesterday. You all made a great job. It was good to see all posters printed in time and the studio space being nicely set up. Your work on the projects in models, drawings diagrams enabled a very fruitful discussion and made it possible for the jury to give qualified feedback.

First, please upload your presentations as pdfs here, named by group number:

Now we need to proceed with Project 1 and find the best way to integrate the multiple design ideas and material systems. To take a first step into this direction we would like to ask you to have have a 'Speed-Dating Thursday' tomorrow:Yesterday during the roundtable all groups expressed their interest in the work of other groups. So we ask these groups to pair up and discuss possible ways of combining/merging/juxtaposing the projects. Have two quick sessions in the following combinations:

Group 1 meets Group 6Group 2 meets Group 5Group 3 meets Group 4

Group 1 meets Group 4Group 2 meets Group 6Group 3 meets Group 5

(Please feel free to have more Speed Dates with other groups which you are interested in)Discuss the following approaches to combine projects:- System transition: One system transform into the other, gradually or ad hoc- System hierarchy: One system becomes the frame/primary structure of the other- System scaling: Combination of system through a change in scale of one of the systemsDocument your findings and ideas as follows:- One conceptual photomontage of two model photos that shows the core idea of the combining moment. The image should be combined with overlying graphics of annotation as you did them for your posters.- Sketches that help to explain the approach, details etc.- Additional material which you think is most appropriate to convey your design intend.Please print the images so we can pin them on the wall!On Friday we would like to discuss your ideas and the next steps to take.

131017 Lecture by Snøhetta

Thursday 17 October, Kl 18.00. ABF-huset Z-salen, Sveavägen 41

This lecture is part of the lecture program of Stockholms Arkitektförening, full program can be found here: http://www.arkitekt.se/stockholm

"For over 20 years, Snøhetta has designed some of the world's most notable public and cultural projects. Snøhetta kick-started its career in 1989 with the competition-winning entry for the new library of Alexandria, Egypt. This was later followed by the commission for the Norwegian National Opera in Oslo. Snøhetta established a New York office in 2004 after being awarded the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion Project at the World Trade Center. They are currently working on a number of educational, civic and cultural projects in North America including the expansion of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in California, the Ryerson University Student Learning Centre in Toronto, the Westchester Branch Library in the Bronx, the Isabel Bader Center for the Performing Arts at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, and the redevelopment of Times Square in New York City, expected to be completed in 2015.Simon Ewings was educated in the UK and joined Snøhetta in 2001 as Project Architect for the Oslo Opera and Ballet. He moved to the New York office in 2011 to head up the design of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Expansion."Tack till ABFFör Stockholms arkitektförening - Ia Hjärre och Fritz Halvorsen

131011 Important Notes for the Interim 131015

None

Dear all, a few remarks for the interim the coming Tuesday, also discussed at the tutorials.

1. Make sure to print your drawings the day before (Monday) - add any additional material as separate A4s etc later. Also make sure you have printing credits to do this.

2. Between 10 and 11 am, we want you to collaboratively set up six tables in the middle of the studio space (depending on installations being set up), more or less as the image above. Place all your models on these table, one table per team, no particular order. Also, collect more of the big cardboard screens, place them against the wall towards the stairwell, and pin up all your posters.

3. Have a quick lunch and be ready to start presentations from 11.30 am.

The first half of the interim is set up as a review. You should present your process and outcome in ca 10 min, with a following discussion for ca 10 min.

The second half of the review is set up as a project meeting, in which we all will discuss how your different design approaches can be combined, and how they can be located in the studio space. The studio model will be important for this conversation, as will your estimates of material use and if possible cost.

After the afternoon sessions, Brady Peters will give a lecture at 17.00 in room A3, make sure not to miss this!

Good luck, we look forward to see your work on Tuesday!

131011 Text on Material Compuation

From the AD Special Issue

Material Computation: Higher Integration in Morphogenetic Design "Computational design and fabrication have the potential to break down the artificial separation of design into form-fi nding and engineering simulation and in so doing to more closely refl ect the properties of the physical world, where form is inseparably connected to internal constraints and external forces:

131004 Examples of Representational techniques

Representation

Dear all,

thank you for good sessions in today's tutorials, and inspiring input from the Berlin trip. In all sessions, we discussed the need to now document and represent your findings beyond screen dumps and the physcial models. We have compiled a selection of work by previous students over the years, to be found on our server at the link below. The conditions of their projectds differ wildly, and we are just showing examples from each project, but we believe that you can find interesting references on these issues in particular:

* How to annotate model photos and document material experiments.
* How to present principles of parametric models and material systems.
* How to combine photographs, renders and vector graphics in a way that makes the material more legible.
* The role of a graphical standard for your presentations.

131029 Additional MasterCam tutorials, and sessions tomorrow¶

There is additional learning material for 2D milling uploaded on our servers, see the Technique and Software page on MasterCam.¶

Veronica will be able to assist test jobs today, as well as Wednesday 9.00 and Thursday 9.00. Make sure to prepare a test file in MasterCam as soon as possible, in parallel with preparing your final files! As some of you have experienced, if a workstation in the computer room does not have MasterCam, it needs to be restarted. It will then take ca 45 minutes for the software to install. The machines in the far right section are most likely to have MasterCam up and running.¶

Representation

Dear all,

thank you for good sessions in today's tutorials, and inspiring input from the Berlin trip. In all sessions, we discussed the need to now document and represent your findings beyond screen dumps and the physcial models. We have compiled a selection of work by previous students over the years, to be found on our server at the link below. The conditions of their projectds differ wildly, and we are just showing examples from each project, but we believe that you can find interesting references on these issues in particular:

* How to annotate model photos and document material experiments.
* How to present principles of parametric models and material systems.
* How to combine photographs, renders and vector graphics in a way that makes the material more legible.
* The role of a graphical standard for your presentations.

131016 Follow up on Interim and brief for this Thursday

None

Dear all, Thank you very much for the meeting yesterday. You all made a great job. It was good to see all posters printed in time and the studio space being nicely set up. Your work on the projects in models, drawings diagrams enabled a very fruitful discussion and made it possible for the jury to give qualified feedback.

First, please upload your presentations as pdfs here, named by group number:

Now we need to proceed with Project 1 and find the best way to integrate the multiple design ideas and material systems. To take a first step into this direction we would like to ask you to have have a 'Speed-Dating Thursday' tomorrow:Yesterday during the roundtable all groups expressed their interest in the work of other groups. So we ask these groups to pair up and discuss possible ways of combining/merging/juxtaposing the projects. Have two quick sessions in the following combinations:

Group 1 meets Group 6Group 2 meets Group 5Group 3 meets Group 4

Group 1 meets Group 4Group 2 meets Group 6Group 3 meets Group 5

(Please feel free to have more Speed Dates with other groups which you are interested in)Discuss the following approaches to combine projects:- System transition: One system transform into the other, gradually or ad hoc- System hierarchy: One system becomes the frame/primary structure of the other- System scaling: Combination of system through a change in scale of one of the systemsDocument your findings and ideas as follows:- One conceptual photomontage of two model photos that shows the core idea of the combining moment. The image should be combined with overlying graphics of annotation as you did them for your posters.- Sketches that help to explain the approach, details etc.- Additional material which you think is most appropriate to convey your design intend.Please print the images so we can pin them on the wall!On Friday we would like to discuss your ideas and the next steps to take.

Snøhetta kick-started its career in 1989 with the competition-winning entry for the new library of Alexandria, Egypt. This was later followed by the commission for the Norwegian National Opera in Oslo. Snøhetta established a New York office in 2004 after being awarded the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion Project at the World Trade Center. They are currently working on a number of educational, civic and cultural projects in North America including the expansion of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in California, the Ryerson University Student Learning Centre in Toronto, the Westchester Branch Library in the Bronx, the Isabel Bader Center for the Performing Arts at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, and the redevelopment of Times Square in New York City, expected to be completed in 2015.Simon Ewings was educated in the UK and joined Snøhetta in 2001 as Project Architect for the Oslo Opera and Ballet. He moved to the New York office in 2011 to head up the design of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Expansion."Tack till ABFFör Stockholms arkitektförening - Ia Hjärre och Fritz Halvorsen

131105 Project 1 wrap-up, and reading this week

Dear all,

Thanks again for all efforts, and good presentations today! As presented at the end of today´s session, this week will be spent on wrap-up of the project - and reflection by looking at a number of interesting texts relted to our work. We will as scheduled do a text seminar this Friday, starting 10.00. You will find instructions on the texts, and how to select them on the new Reader page. In essence, you should each select two of the 18 texts, and be prepared to present this text, along with brief personal reflections during the seminar.

As discovered by several, you can't edit the page, sorry our mistake. Instead make comments to pick your texts, and make sure to check previous comments. Remember, only two students per text.¶

At 10.00 Emma from administration will come by the studio with important information for all students (except incoming half year students), make sure to be around at that time!

131018 Studio Schedule

Dear all,

here is the schedule for Friday, October 18:

9:00 - 12:00 Diploma MidCrit (optional) in Red Tent

Ola (9:00) and Sare (11:30) will present and discuss the current status of their thesis. If you are interested you can join the meeting if you prefer to work on your project it is fine as well.

12:15 - 13:15 Lunch meeting: Discuss the findings of your "Speed Dating Excerise"

Bring your lunch or sandwich. We will all meet in the studio to discuss your proposals of merging projects. The Diploma MidCrit requires to have this rather short meeting during lunchtime.

15:00 - 16:30 Studio Lecture by Mårten Nettelbladt

Mårten will present his research on simulation bending behavior in grasshopper. His input is relevant for many of you.

131016 Follow up on Interim and brief for this Thursday

None

Dear all, Thank you very much for the meeting yesterday. You all made a great job. It was good to see all posters printed in time and the studio space being nicely set up. Your work on the projects in models, drawings diagrams enabled a very fruitful discussion and made it possible for the jury to give qualified feedback.

First, please upload your presentations as pdfs here, named by group number:

Now we need to proceed with Project 1 and find the best way to integrate the multiple design ideas and material systems. To take a first step into this direction we would like to ask you to have have a 'Speed-Dating Thursday' tomorrow:Yesterday during the roundtable all groups expressed their interest in the work of other groups. So we ask these groups to pair up and discuss possible ways of combining/merging/juxtaposing the projects. Have two quick sessions in the following combinations:

Group 1 meets Group 6Group 2 meets Group 5Group 3 meets Group 4

Group 1 meets Group 4Group 2 meets Group 6Group 3 meets Group 5

(Please feel free to have more Speed Dates with other groups which you are interested in)Discuss the following approaches to combine projects:- System transition: One system transform into the other, gradually or ad hoc- System hierarchy: One system becomes the frame/primary structure of the other- System scaling: Combination of system through a change in scale of one of the systemsDocument your findings and ideas as follows:- One conceptual photomontage of two model photos that shows the core idea of the combining moment. The image should be combined with overlying graphics of annotation as you did them for your posters.- Sketches that help to explain the approach, details etc.- Additional material which you think is most appropriate to convey your design intend.Please print the images so we can pin them on the wall!On Friday we would like to discuss your ideas and the next steps to take.

131017 Lecture by Snøhetta

Thursday 17 October, Kl 18.00. ABF-huset Z-salen, Sveavägen 41

"For over 20 years, Snøhetta has designed some of the world's most notable public and cultural projects. Snøhetta kick-started its career in 1989 with the competition-winning entry for the new library of Alexandria, Egypt. This was later followed by the commission for the Norwegian National Opera in Oslo. Snøhetta established a New York office in 2004 after being awarded the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion Project at the World Trade Center. They are currently working on a number of educational, civic and cultural projects in North America including the expansion of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in California, the Ryerson University Student Learning Centre in Toronto, the Westchester Branch Library in the Bronx, the Isabel Bader Center for the Performing Arts at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, and the redevelopment of Times Square in New York City, expected to be completed in 2015.Simon Ewings was educated in the UK and joined Snøhetta in 2001 as Project Architect for the Oslo Opera and Ballet. He moved to the New York office in 2011 to head up the design of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Expansion."Tack till ABFFör Stockholms arkitektförening - Ia Hjärre och Fritz Halvorsen

131011 Important Notes for the Interim 131015

None

Dear all, a few remarks for the interim the coming Tuesday, also discussed at the tutorials.

1. Make sure to print your drawings the day before (Monday) - add any additional material as separate A4s etc later. Also make sure you have printing credits to do this.

2. Between 10 and 11 am, we want you to collaboratively set up six tables in the middle of the studio space (depending on installations being set up), more or less as the image above. Place all your models on these table, one table per team, no particular order. Also, collect more of the big cardboard screens, place them against the wall towards the stairwell, and pin up all your posters.

3. Have a quick lunch and be ready to start presentations from 11.30 am.

The first half of the interim is set up as a review. You should present your process and outcome in ca 10 min, with a following discussion for ca 10 min.

The second half of the review is set up as a project meeting, in which we all will discuss how your different design approaches can be combined, and how they can be located in the studio space. The studio model will be important for this conversation, as will your estimates of material use and if possible cost.

After the afternoon sessions, Brady Peters will give a lecture at 17.00 in room A3, make sure not to miss this!

Good luck, we look forward to see your work on Tuesday!

131004 Examples of Representational techniques

Representation

Dear all,

thank you for good sessions in today's tutorials, and inspiring input from the Berlin trip. In all sessions, we discussed the need to now document and represent your findings beyond screen dumps and the physcial models. We have compiled a selection of work by previous students over the years, to be found on our server at the link below. The conditions of their projectds differ wildly, and we are just showing examples from each project, but we believe that you can find interesting references on these issues in particular:

* How to annotate model photos and document material experiments.
* How to present principles of parametric models and material systems.
* How to combine photographs, renders and vector graphics in a way that makes the material more legible.
* The role of a graphical standard for your presentations.

131105 Project 1 wrap-up, and reading this week

Dear all,

Thanks again for all efforts, and good presentations today! As presented at the end of today´s session, this week will be spent on wrap-up of the project - and reflection by looking at a number of interesting texts relted to our work. We will as scheduled do a text seminar this Friday, starting 10.00. You will find instructions on the texts, and how to select them on the new Reader page. In essence, you should each select two of the 18 texts, and be prepared to present this text, along with brief personal reflections during the seminar.

As discovered by several, you can't edit the page, sorry our mistake. Instead make comments to pick your texts, and make sure to check previous comments. Remember, only two students per text.

131101 Instructions on Start-up and shut-down of router

Dear all,

you will find the instructions on start-up and shut-down, and steps in between for the router on the Master Cam page.

131030 Even more on the CNC

Another CNC-related update. The workshop is closed Thursday and Friday - not to worry, you will have access to the CNC. Thursday morning Veronica will provide access to the space, and Friday morning Adam, one of the student operators will do the same. You may need to enter the workshop at the upper level, and it may be dark, but it will work. HOWEVER - the use of the regular machines may be restricted - alert us if this is an issue!

131029 Additional MasterCam tutorials, and sessions tomorrow

There is additional learning material for 2D milling uploaded on our servers, see the Technique and Software page on MasterCam.

Veronica will be able to assist test jobs today, as well as Wednesday 9.00 and Thursday 9.00. Additional support will be there from 13.00. Make sure to prepare a test file in MasterCam as soon as possible, in parallel with preparing your final files! As some of you have experienced, if a workstation in the computer room does not have MasterCam, it needs to be restarted. It will then take ca 45 minutes for the software to install. The machines in the far right section are most likely to have MasterCam up and running.

131027 Bookings for CNC coming week

The CNC is now booked for our studio Tuesday 13 - 17, all Wednesday and all Thursday. I will also check on Operator availability - primarily to check your files and assist in start-up. Make sure to always be at least two people down there, and never leave it running.

131025 MasterCam resources, and next week

Dear all,

please find resources on MasterCam available under Techiques and Software, or by direct link here. You need to be loggeed in to access this page.

All workstations in the computer cluster should have MasterCam available. If you cannot fint it, please restart the machine whcih should start the installation process.

On Tuesday morning we should discuss all projects in groups, and we will give feedback on you rmaterial and cost estimates. The CNC Router is booked for our studio on Tuesday afternoon, and all Wednesday. Please make sure to explore MasterCam in relation to your projects on Monday.,

131023 Two Recommended Lectures - tomorrow and next week

"For over 20 years, Snøhetta has designed some of the world's most notable public and cultural projects. Snøhetta kick-started its career in 1989 with the competition-winning entry for the new library of Alexandria, Egypt. This was later followed by the commission for the Norwegian National Opera in Oslo. Snøhetta established a New York office in 2004 after being awarded the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion Project at the World Trade Center. They are currently working on a number of educational, civic and cultural projects in North America including the expansion of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in California, the Ryerson University Student Learning Centre in Toronto, the Westchester Branch Library in the Bronx, the Isabel Bader Center for the Performing Arts at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, and the redevelopment of Times Square in New York City, expected to be completed in 2015.Simon Ewings was educated in the UK and joined Snøhetta in 2001 as Project Architect for the Oslo Opera and Ballet. He moved to the New York office in 2011 to head up the design of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Expansion."Tack till ABFFör Stockholms arkitektförening - Ia Hjärre och Fritz Halvorsen

131011 Important Notes for the Interim 131015

None

Dear all, a few remarks for the interim the coming Tuesday, also discussed at the tutorials.

1. Make sure to print your drawings the day before (Monday) - add any additional material as separate A4s etc later. Also make sure you have printing credits to do this.

2. Between 10 and 11 am, we want you to collaboratively set up six tables in the middle of the studio space (depending on installations being set up), more or less as the image above. Place all your models on these table, one table per team, no particular order. Also, collect more of the big cardboard screens, place them against the wall towards the stairwell, and pin up all your posters.

3. Have a quick lunch and be ready to start presentations from 11.30 am.

The first half of the interim is set up as a review. You should present your process and outcome in ca 10 min, with a following discussion for ca 10 min.

The second half of the review is set up as a project meeting, in which we all will discuss how your different design approaches can be combined, and how they can be located in the studio space. The studio model will be important for this conversation, as will your estimates of material use and if possible cost.

After the afternoon sessions, Brady Peters will give a lecture at 17.00 in room A3, make sure not to miss this!

Good luck, we look forward to see your work on Tuesday!

131011 Text on Material Compuation

From the AD Special Issue

Material Computation: Higher Integration in Morphogenetic Design "Computational design and fabrication have the potential to break down the artificial separation of design into form-fi nding and engineering simulation and in so doing to more closely refl ect the properties of the physical world, where form is inseparably connected to internal constraints and external forces:

131004 Examples of Representational techniques

Representation

Dear all,

thank you for good sessions in today's tutorials, and inspiring input from the Berlin trip. In all sessions, we discussed the need to now document and represent your findings beyond screen dumps and the physcial models. We have compiled a selection of work by previous students over the years, to be found on our server at the link below. The conditions of their projectds differ wildly, and we are just showing examples from each project, but we believe that you can find interesting references on these issues in particular:

* How to annotate model photos and document material experiments.
* How to present principles of parametric models and material systems.
* How to combine photographs, renders and vector graphics in a way that makes the material more legible.
* The role of a graphical standard for your presentations.

131112 Using Kartago and Stockholm 3D

Dear all,

here are a few guidelines on how to use Kartago for official digital maps, and the 3D map generated here at school.

Kartago

At the computers in the lab, go to:

S:\STUDENTS\APPS\KARTAGO

You will here find a shortcut to open Kartago. After a number of 'ok' clicks you get to the map, where you can locate any area, and use "Visa" to select map detailing and information (in Swedish unfortunately), and print (select PDF printer) at selected scale.

Stockholm 3D

You will find the Stockholm 3D folder on the UG server space here.

This file gives instructions in Swedish: 3dmodell över Stockholm Hjälp.docx

This Rhino file gives an overview of all areas, find the index of the 3D file you are interested in here: Bladindex med karta.3dm

You will find model fiels for each area in this catalogue: Sammansatta 3dm_filerThe 3D files include a point cloud for terrain, 2D trees and simplified building volumes. If you want a surface from the point cloud you can either use the Rhino command MeshFromPoints, or import it into Grasshopper and use Delauney Mesh operation (you may need to explode the point cloud into individual points to get them into Grasshopper.

131112 Kick off Project 2 and lecture on fabric formwork

Dear all,

Thank you again for good work last week, and interesting conversations on Friday. Tomorrow we start Project 2, please regard the following:

* Make sure that the studio space is clean, and set-up according to the redesign before we start.
* You will work as individuals or as two person teams – we want you to have decided on team configurations no later than Wednesday morning by registering on the new Project Wiki pages.
* You should choose one of three sites; Connecting Bromma Airport, Climbing Danviksklippan or Bridging Hammarbyleden, again by registering your teams on the new Project Wiki pages by Wednesday morning.
* We will present project 2 10.00 – 12.00 in the studio space, introducing the three sites, and provide initial materials for your studies.
* We will have lectures the coming Tuesdays. Tomorrow Anne-Mette Manelius will present her hands-on work on fabric formwork for concrete. While previous lectures have been very focussed on the computational part Anne-Mette will present her prototypes she developed with students.
131105 Project 1 wrap-up, and reading this week

Dear all,

Thanks again for all efforts, and good presentations today! As presented at the end of today´s session, this week will be spent on wrap-up of the project - and reflection by looking at a number of interesting texts relted to our work. We will as scheduled do a text seminar this Friday, starting 10.00. You will find instructions on the texts, and how to select them on the new Reader page. In essence, you should each select two of the 18 texts, and be prepared to present this text, along with brief personal reflections during the seminar.

As discovered by several, you can't edit the page, sorry our mistake. Instead make comments to pick your texts, and make sure to check previous comments. Remember, only two students per text.

131101 Instructions on Start-up and shut-down of router

Dear all,

you will find the instructions on start-up and shut-down, and steps in between for the router on the Master Cam page.

131030 Even more on the CNC

Another CNC-related update. The workshop is closed Thursday and Friday - not to worry, you will have access to the CNC. Thursday morning Veronica will provide access to the space, and Friday morning Adam, one of the student operators will do the same. You may need to enter the workshop at the upper level, and it may be dark, but it will work. HOWEVER - the use of the regular machines may be restricted - alert us if this is an issue!

131029 Additional MasterCam tutorials, and sessions tomorrow

There is additional learning material for 2D milling uploaded on our servers, see the Technique and Software page on MasterCam.

Veronica will be able to assist test jobs today, as well as Wednesday 9.00 and Thursday 9.00. Additional support will be there from 13.00. Make sure to prepare a test file in MasterCam as soon as possible, in parallel with preparing your final files! As some of you have experienced, if a workstation in the computer room does not have MasterCam, it needs to be restarted. It will then take ca 45 minutes for the software to install. The machines in the far right section are most likely to have MasterCam up and running.

131027 Bookings for CNC coming week

The CNC is now booked for our studio Tuesday 13 - 17, all Wednesday and all Thursday. I will also check on Operator availability - primarily to check your files and assist in start-up. Make sure to always be at least two people down there, and never leave it running.

131025 MasterCam resources, and next week

Dear all,

please find resources on MasterCam available under Techiques and Software, or by direct link here. You need to be loggeed in to access this page.

All workstations in the computer cluster should have MasterCam available. If you cannot fint it, please restart the machine whcih should start the installation process.

On Tuesday morning we should discuss all projects in groups, and we will give feedback on you rmaterial and cost estimates. The CNC Router is booked for our studio on Tuesday afternoon, and all Wednesday. Please make sure to explore MasterCam in relation to your projects on Monday.,

131023 Two Recommended Lectures - tomorrow and next week

We would like to recommend two upcoming lectures. Tomorrow Thursday 18.00 Liminez Lai of Bureau Spectacular will present the lecture Cartoonish Worlds in the KTH-A Entrance foyer (by the cafe in school).

131023 A Projects Wiki created + Schedule Friday 131025

None

Dear all,

there is now a wiki page for each of the three new projects, links below. As with any wiki, the point is that you can all edit them freely. Please use these pages for communication within your teams, uploading skethces and images etc - we hope you find this useful. We also suggest that you give your project a name - this could also be changed later, and you can create additional sub pages.

https://www.kth.se/social/group/studio-9-bridging-te/page/project-1-cost-estimates/

131025 Schedule

On Friday, we will prepare for CNC demonstrations in the morning (i.e. you keep working), and we meet at 13.00 in the computer room for demonstrations in MasterCam. Hopefully we will also have time to run a job on the Router. At 10.00 Emma from administration will come by the studio with important information for all students (except incoming half year students), make sure to be around at that time!

131018 Studio Schedule

Dear all,

here is the schedule for Friday, October 18:

9:00 - 12:00 Diploma MidCrit (optional) in Red Tent

Ola (9:00) and Sare (11:30) will present and discuss the current status of their thesis. If you are interested you can join the meeting if you prefer to work on your project it is fine as well.

12:15 - 13:15 Lunch meeting: Discuss the findings of your "Speed Dating Excerise"

Bring your lunch or sandwich. We will all meet in the studio to discuss your proposals of merging projects. The Diploma MidCrit requires to have this rather short meeting during lunchtime.

15:00 - 16:30 Studio Lecture by Mårten Nettelbladt

Mårten will present his research on simulation bending behavior in grasshopper. His input is relevant for many of you.

131016 Follow up on Interim and brief for this Thursday

None

Dear all, Thank you very much for the meeting yesterday. You all made a great job. It was good to see all posters printed in time and the studio space being nicely set up. Your work on the projects in models, drawings diagrams enabled a very fruitful discussion and made it possible for the jury to give qualified feedback.

First, please upload your presentations as pdfs here, named by group number:

Now we need to proceed with Project 1 and find the best way to integrate the multiple design ideas and material systems. To take a first step into this direction we would like to ask you to have have a 'Speed-Dating Thursday' tomorrow:Yesterday during the roundtable all groups expressed their interest in the work of other groups. So we ask these groups to pair up and discuss possible ways of combining/merging/juxtaposing the projects. Have two quick sessions in the following combinations:

Group 1 meets Group 6Group 2 meets Group 5Group 3 meets Group 4

Group 1 meets Group 4Group 2 meets Group 6Group 3 meets Group 5

(Please feel free to have more Speed Dates with other groups which you are interested in)Discuss the following approaches to combine projects:- System transition: One system transform into the other, gradually or ad hoc- System hierarchy: One system becomes the frame/primary structure of the other- System scaling: Combination of system through a change in scale of one of the systemsDocument your findings and ideas as follows:- One conceptual photomontage of two model photos that shows the core idea of the combining moment. The image should be combined with overlying graphics of annotation as you did them for your posters.- Sketches that help to explain the approach, details etc.- Additional material which you think is most appropriate to convey your design intend.Please print the images so we can pin them on the wall!On Friday we would like to discuss your ideas and the next steps to take.

131011 Important Notes for the Interim 131015

None

Dear all, a few remarks for the interim the coming Tuesday, also discussed at the tutorials.

1. Make sure to print your drawings the day before (Monday) - add any additional material as separate A4s etc later. Also make sure you have printing credits to do this.

2. Between 10 and 11 am, we want you to collaboratively set up six tables in the middle of the studio space (depending on installations being set up), more or less as the image above. Place all your models on these table, one table per team, no particular order. Also, collect more of the big cardboard screens, place them against the wall towards the stairwell, and pin up all your posters.

3. Have a quick lunch and be ready to start presentations from 11.30 am.

The first half of the interim is set up as a review. You should present your process and outcome in ca 10 min, with a following discussion for ca 10 min.

The second half of the review is set up as a project meeting, in which we all will discuss how your different design approaches can be combined, and how they can be located in the studio space. The studio model will be important for this conversation, as will your estimates of material use and if possible cost.

After the afternoon sessions, Brady Peters will give a lecture at 17.00 in room A3, make sure not to miss this!

Good luck, we look forward to see your work on Tuesday!

131004 Examples of Representational techniques

Representation

Dear all,

thank you for good sessions in today's tutorials, and inspiring input from the Berlin trip. In all sessions, we discussed the need to now document and represent your findings beyond screen dumps and the physcial models. We have compiled a selection of work by previous students over the years, to be found on our server at the link below. The conditions of their projectds differ wildly, and we are just showing examples from each project, but we believe that you can find interesting references on these issues in particular:

* How to annotate model photos and document material experiments.
* How to present principles of parametric models and material systems.
* How to combine photographs, renders and vector graphics in a way that makes the material more legible.
* The role of a graphical standard for your presentations.

131203 Interim Review Project 3¶

Dear all,¶

the Interim Review tomorrow will start at 9.00 am. We expect you all to attend the full event and encourage you to engage in the discussion about the projects. We will be in the studio for the review. Please make sure we can use the space in a similar fashion as last time (using the corridor wall to show the posters).¶

We have 14 projects in total which means 30 minutes for each project (10-15 min presentation, 15min discussion). Please make sure to be in the studio in time and be prepared for the presentation. The order of presentation will be given at the start, and we cannot make any changes since there will be a logic to it.¶

After the review we have a lecture by Micro Becker and we thought it could be nice to have a drink afterwards at the Treat Bar.¶

131119 Your reflections on Project 1

Dear all,

PLEASE NOTE: The course reflections on Project 1 are mandatory. You received a form from Emma Persson a few weeks ago. For those of you who have not yet filled in the form make sure to do it asap. WE CAN NOT PASS YOU UNTIL YOUR REFELCTIONS ARE HANDED IN!

131112 Additional info start-up Project 2

Dear all,

for those of you who missed the introduction today, a bit of update, and please check the previous two posts.

* You find the Project 2 brief in the Resource folder on the server, or via direct link here.
* Please register individual or team choices of sites on the new Project Wiki pages no later than Wednesday morning - tomorrow.
* Also, for expenses for materials used in the workshop, Anna Eklund now has a list with proper invocing info. Please make sure to let her know hte materials used to add to this list, and it will automatically be invoiced to the studio.

131112 Using Kartago and Stockholm 3D

Dear all,

here are a few guidelines on how to use Kartago for official digital maps, and the 3D map generated here at school.

Kartago

At the computers in the lab, go to:

S:\STUDENTS\APPS\KARTAGO

You will here find a shortcut to open Kartago. After a number of 'ok' clicks you get to the map, where you can locate any area, and use "Visa" to select map detailing and information (in Swedish unfortunately), and print (select PDF printer) at selected scale.

Stockholm 3D

You will find the Stockholm 3D folder on the UG server space here.

This file gives instructions in Swedish: 3dmodell över Stockholm Hjälp.docx

This Rhino file gives an overview of all areas, find the index of the 3D file you are interested in here: Bladindex med karta.3dm

You will find model fiels for each area in this catalogue: Sammansatta 3dm_filerThe 3D files include a point cloud for terrain, 2D trees and simplified building volumes. If you want a surface from the point cloud you can either use the Rhino command MeshFromPoints, or import it into Grasshopper and use Delauney Mesh operation (you may need to explode the point cloud into individual points to get them into Grasshopper.

131112 Kick off Project 2 and lecture on fabric formwork

Dear all,

Thank you again for good work last week, and interesting conversations on Friday. Tomorrow we start Project 2, please regard the following:

* Make sure that the studio space is clean, and set-up according to the redesign before we start.
* You will work as individuals or as two person teams – we want you to have decided on team configurations no later than Wednesday morning by registering on the new Project Wiki pages.
* You should choose one of three sites; Connecting Bromma Airport, Climbing Danviksklippan or Bridging Hammarbyleden, again by registering your teams on the new Project Wiki pages by Wednesday morning.
* We will present project 2 10.00 – 12.00 in the studio space, introducing the three sites, and provide initial materials for your studies.
* We will have lectures the coming Tuesdays. Tomorrow Anne-Mette Manelius will present her hands-on work on fabric formwork for concrete. While previous lectures have been very focussed on the computational part Anne-Mette will present her prototypes she developed with students.
131105 Project 1 wrap-up, and reading this week

Dear all,

Thanks again for all efforts, and good presentations today! As presented at the end of today´s session, this week will be spent on wrap-up of the project - and reflection by looking at a number of interesting texts relted to our work. We will as scheduled do a text seminar this Friday, starting 10.00. You will find instructions on the texts, and how to select them on the new Reader page. In essence, you should each select two of the 18 texts, and be prepared to present this text, along with brief personal reflections during the seminar.

As discovered by several, you can't edit the page, sorry our mistake. Instead make comments to pick your texts, and make sure to check previous comments. Remember, only two students per text.

131101 Instructions on Start-up and shut-down of router

Dear all,

you will find the instructions on start-up and shut-down, and steps in between for the router on the Master Cam page.

131030 Even more on the CNC

Another CNC-related update. The workshop is closed Thursday and Friday - not to worry, you will have access to the CNC. Thursday morning Veronica will provide access to the space, and Friday morning Adam, one of the student operators will do the same. You may need to enter the workshop at the upper level, and it may be dark, but it will work. HOWEVER - the use of the regular machines may be restricted - alert us if this is an issue!

131029 Additional MasterCam tutorials, and sessions tomorrow

There is additional learning material for 2D milling uploaded on our servers, see the Technique and Software page on MasterCam.

Veronica will be able to assist test jobs today, as well as Wednesday 9.00 and Thursday 9.00. Additional support will be there from 13.00. Make sure to prepare a test file in MasterCam as soon as possible, in parallel with preparing your final files! As some of you have experienced, if a workstation in the computer room does not have MasterCam, it needs to be restarted. It will then take ca 45 minutes for the software to install. The machines in the far right section are most likely to have MasterCam up and running.

131027 Bookings for CNC coming week

The CNC is now booked for our studio Tuesday 13 - 17, all Wednesday and all Thursday. I will also check on Operator availability - primarily to check your files and assist in start-up. Make sure to always be at least two people down there, and never leave it running.

131025 MasterCam resources, and next week

Dear all,

please find resources on MasterCam available under Techiques and Software, or by direct link here. You need to be loggeed in to access this page.

All workstations in the computer cluster should have MasterCam available. If you cannot fint it, please restart the machine whcih should start the installation process.

On Tuesday morning we should discuss all projects in groups, and we will give feedback on you rmaterial and cost estimates. The CNC Router is booked for our studio on Tuesday afternoon, and all Wednesday. Please make sure to explore MasterCam in relation to your projects on Monday.,

131023 Two Recommended Lectures - tomorrow and next week

We would like to recommend two upcoming lectures. Tomorrow Thursday 18.00 Liminez Lai of Bureau Spectacular will present the lecture Cartoonish Worlds in the KTH-A Entrance foyer (by the cafe in school).

131018 Studio Schedule

Dear all,

here is the schedule for Friday, October 18:

9:00 - 12:00 Diploma MidCrit (optional) in Red Tent

Ola (9:00) and Sare (11:30) will present and discuss the current status of their thesis. If you are interested you can join the meeting if you prefer to work on your project it is fine as well.

12:15 - 13:15 Lunch meeting: Discuss the findings of your "Speed Dating Excerise"

Bring your lunch or sandwich. We will all meet in the studio to discuss your proposals of merging projects. The Diploma MidCrit requires to have this rather short meeting during lunchtime.

15:00 - 16:30 Studio Lecture by Mårten Nettelbladt

Mårten will present his research on simulation bending behavior in grasshopper. His input is relevant for many of you.

131016 Follow up on Interim and brief for this Thursday

None

Dear all, Thank you very much for the meeting yesterday. You all made a great job. It was good to see all posters printed in time and the studio space being nicely set up. Your work on the projects in models, drawings diagrams enabled a very fruitful discussion and made it possible for the jury to give qualified feedback.

First, please upload your presentations as pdfs here, named by group number:

Now we need to proceed with Project 1 and find the best way to integrate the multiple design ideas and material systems. To take a first step into this direction we would like to ask you to have have a 'Speed-Dating Thursday' tomorrow:Yesterday during the roundtable all groups expressed their interest in the work of other groups. So we ask these groups to pair up and discuss possible ways of combining/merging/juxtaposing the projects. Have two quick sessions in the following combinations:

Group 1 meets Group 6Group 2 meets Group 5Group 3 meets Group 4

Group 1 meets Group 4Group 2 meets Group 6Group 3 meets Group 5

(Please feel free to have more Speed Dates with other groups which you are interested in)Discuss the following approaches to combine projects:- System transition: One system transform into the other, gradually or ad hoc- System hierarchy: One system becomes the frame/primary structure of the other- System scaling: Combination of system through a change in scale of one of the systemsDocument your findings and ideas as follows:- One conceptual photomontage of two model photos that shows the core idea of the combining moment. The image should be combined with overlying graphics of annotation as you did them for your posters.- Sketches that help to explain the approach, details etc.- Additional material which you think is most appropriate to convey your design intend.Please print the images so we can pin them on the wall!On Friday we would like to discuss your ideas and the next steps to take.

131016 Follow up on Interim and brief for this Thursday

None

Dear all, Thank you very much for the meeting yesterday. You all made a great job. It was good to see all posters printed in time and the studio space being nicely set up. Your work on the projects in models, drawings diagrams enabled a very fruitful discussion and made it possible for the jury to give qualified feedback.

First, please upload your presentations as pdfs here, named by group number:

Now we need to proceed with Project 1 and find the best way to integrate the multiple design ideas and material systems. To take a first step into this direction we would like to ask you to have have a 'Speed-Dating Thursday' tomorrow:Yesterday during the roundtable all groups expressed their interest in the work of other groups. So we ask these groups to pair up and discuss possible ways of combining/merging/juxtaposing the projects. Have two quick sessions in the following combinations:

Group 1 meets Group 6Group 2 meets Group 5Group 3 meets Group 4

Group 1 meets Group 4Group 2 meets Group 6Group 3 meets Group 5

(Please feel free to have more Speed Dates with other groups which you are interested in)Discuss the following approaches to combine projects:- System transition: One system transform into the other, gradually or ad hoc- System hierarchy: One system becomes the frame/primary structure of the other- System scaling: Combination of system through a change in scale of one of the systemsDocument your findings and ideas as follows:- One conceptual photomontage of two model photos that shows the core idea of the combining moment. The image should be combined with overlying graphics of annotation as you did them for your posters.- Sketches that help to explain the approach, details etc.- Additional material which you think is most appropriate to convey your design intend.Please print the images so we can pin them on the wall!On Friday we would like to discuss your ideas and the next steps to take.

131017 Lecture by Snøhetta

Thursday 17 October, Kl 18.00. ABF-huset Z-salen, Sveavägen 41

This lecture is part of the lecture program of Stockholms Arkitektförening, full program can be found here: http://www.arkitekt.se/stockholm

"For over 20 years, Snøhetta has designed some of the world's most notable public and cultural projects. Snøhetta kick-started its career in 1989 with the competition-winning entry for the new library of Alexandria, Egypt. This was later followed by the commission for the Norwegian National Opera in Oslo. Snøhetta established a New York office in 2004 after being awarded the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion Project at the World Trade Center. They are currently working on a number of educational, civic and cultural projects in North America including the expansion of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in California, the Ryerson University Student Learning Centre in Toronto, the Westchester Branch Library in the Bronx, the Isabel Bader Center for the Performing Arts at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, and the redevelopment of Times Square in New York City, expected to be completed in 2015.Simon Ewings was educated in the UK and joined Snøhetta in 2001 as Project Architect for the Oslo Opera and Ballet. He moved to the New York office in 2011 to head up the design of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Expansion."Tack till ABFFör Stockholms arkitektförening - Ia Hjärre och Fritz Halvorsen

131011 Important Notes for the Interim 131015

None

Dear all, a few remarks for the interim the coming Tuesday, also discussed at the tutorials.

1. Make sure to print your drawings the day before (Monday) - add any additional material as separate A4s etc later. Also make sure you have printing credits to do this.

2. Between 10 and 11 am, we want you to collaboratively set up six tables in the middle of the studio space (depending on installations being set up), more or less as the image above. Place all your models on these table, one table per team, no particular order. Also, collect more of the big cardboard screens, place them against the wall towards the stairwell, and pin up all your posters.

3. Have a quick lunch and be ready to start presentations from 11.30 am.

The first half of the interim is set up as a review. You should present your process and outcome in ca 10 min, with a following discussion for ca 10 min.

The second half of the review is set up as a project meeting, in which we all will discuss how your different design approaches can be combined, and how they can be located in the studio space. The studio model will be important for this conversation, as will your estimates of material use and if possible cost.

After the afternoon sessions, Brady Peters will give a lecture at 17.00 in room A3, make sure not to miss this!

Good luck, we look forward to see your work on Tuesday!

131004 Examples of Representational techniques

Representation

Dear all,

thank you for good sessions in today's tutorials, and inspiring input from the Berlin trip. In all sessions, we discussed the need to now document and represent your findings beyond screen dumps and the physcial models. We have compiled a selection of work by previous students over the years, to be found on our server at the link below. The conditions of their projectds differ wildly, and we are just showing examples from each project, but we believe that you can find interesting references on these issues in particular:

* How to annotate model photos and document material experiments.
* How to present principles of parametric models and material systems.
* How to combine photographs, renders and vector graphics in a way that makes the material more legible.
* The role of a graphical standard for your presentations.

131203 Interim Review Project 2

Dear all,

the Interim Review tomorrow will start at 9.00 am. We expect you all to attend the full event and encourage you to engage in the discussion about the projects. We will be in the studio for the review. Please make sure we can use the space in a similar fashion as last time (using the corridor wall to show the posters).

We have 14 projects in total which means 30 minutes for each project (10-15 min presentation, 15min discussion). Please make sure to be in the studio in time and be prepared for the presentation. The order of presentation will be given at the start, and we cannot make any changes since there will be a logic to it.

After the review we have a lecture by Micro Becker and we thought it could be nice to have a drink afterwards at the Treat Bar.

131119 Your reflections on Project 1

Dear all,

PLEASE NOTE: The course reflections on Project 1 are mandatory. You received a form from Emma Persson a few weeks ago. For those of you who have not yet filled in the form make sure to do it asap. WE CAN NOT PASS YOU UNTIL YOUR REFELCTIONS ARE HANDED IN!

131112 Additional info start-up Project 2

Dear all,

for those of you who missed the introduction today, a bit of update, and please check the previous two posts.

* You find the Project 2 brief in the Resource folder on the server, or via direct link here.
* Please register individual or team choices of sites on the new Project Wiki pages no later than Wednesday morning - tomorrow.
* Also, for expenses for materials used in the workshop, Anna Eklund now has a list with proper invocing info. Please make sure to let her know hte materials used to add to this list, and it will automatically be invoiced to the studio.

131112 Using Kartago and Stockholm 3D

Dear all,

here are a few guidelines on how to use Kartago for official digital maps, and the 3D map generated here at school.

Kartago

At the computers in the lab, go to:

S:\STUDENTS\APPS\KARTAGO

You will here find a shortcut to open Kartago. After a number of 'ok' clicks you get to the map, where you can locate any area, and use "Visa" to select map detailing and information (in Swedish unfortunately), and print (select PDF printer) at selected scale.

Stockholm 3D

You will find the Stockholm 3D folder on the UG server space here.

This file gives instructions in Swedish: 3dmodell över Stockholm Hjälp.docx

This Rhino file gives an overview of all areas, find the index of the 3D file you are interested in here: Bladindex med karta.3dm

You will find model fiels for each area in this catalogue: Sammansatta 3dm_filerThe 3D files include a point cloud for terrain, 2D trees and simplified building volumes. If you want a surface from the point cloud you can either use the Rhino command MeshFromPoints, or import it into Grasshopper and use Delauney Mesh operation (you may need to explode the point cloud into individual points to get them into Grasshopper.

131112 Kick off Project 2 and lecture on fabric formwork

Dear all,

Thank you again for good work last week, and interesting conversations on Friday. Tomorrow we start Project 2, please regard the following:

* Make sure that the studio space is clean, and set-up according to the redesign before we start.
* You will work as individuals or as two person teams – we want you to have decided on team configurations no later than Wednesday morning by registering on the new Project Wiki pages.
* You should choose one of three sites; Connecting Bromma Airport, Climbing Danviksklippan or Bridging Hammarbyleden, again by registering your teams on the new Project Wiki pages by Wednesday morning.
* We will present project 2 10.00 – 12.00 in the studio space, introducing the three sites, and provide initial materials for your studies.
* We will have lectures the coming Tuesdays. Tomorrow Anne-Mette Manelius will present her hands-on work on fabric formwork for concrete. While previous lectures have been very focussed on the computational part Anne-Mette will present her prototypes she developed with students.
131105 Project 1 wrap-up, and reading this week

Dear all,

Thanks again for all efforts, and good presentations today! As presented at the end of today´s session, this week will be spent on wrap-up of the project - and reflection by looking at a number of interesting texts relted to our work. We will as scheduled do a text seminar this Friday, starting 10.00. You will find instructions on the texts, and how to select them on the new Reader page. In essence, you should each select two of the 18 texts, and be prepared to present this text, along with brief personal reflections during the seminar.

As discovered by several, you can't edit the page, sorry our mistake. Instead make comments to pick your texts, and make sure to check previous comments. Remember, only two students per text.

131101 Instructions on Start-up and shut-down of router

Dear all,

you will find the instructions on start-up and shut-down, and steps in between for the router on the Master Cam page.

131030 Even more on the CNC

Another CNC-related update. The workshop is closed Thursday and Friday - not to worry, you will have access to the CNC. Thursday morning Veronica will provide access to the space, and Friday morning Adam, one of the student operators will do the same. You may need to enter the workshop at the upper level, and it may be dark, but it will work. HOWEVER - the use of the regular machines may be restricted - alert us if this is an issue!

131029 Additional MasterCam tutorials, and sessions tomorrow

There is additional learning material for 2D milling uploaded on our servers, see the Technique and Software page on MasterCam.

Veronica will be able to assist test jobs today, as well as Wednesday 9.00 and Thursday 9.00. Additional support will be there from 13.00. Make sure to prepare a test file in MasterCam as soon as possible, in parallel with preparing your final files! As some of you have experienced, if a workstation in the computer room does not have MasterCam, it needs to be restarted. It will then take ca 45 minutes for the software to install. The machines in the far right section are most likely to have MasterCam up and running.

131027 Bookings for CNC coming week

The CNC is now booked for our studio Tuesday 13 - 17, all Wednesday and all Thursday. I will also check on Operator availability - primarily to check your files and assist in start-up. Make sure to always be at least two people down there, and never leave it running.

131025 MasterCam resources, and next week

Dear all,

please find resources on MasterCam available under Techiques and Software, or by direct link here. You need to be loggeed in to access this page.

All workstations in the computer cluster should have MasterCam available. If you cannot fint it, please restart the machine whcih should start the installation process.

On Tuesday morning we should discuss all projects in groups, and we will give feedback on you rmaterial and cost estimates. The CNC Router is booked for our studio on Tuesday afternoon, and all Wednesday. Please make sure to explore MasterCam in relation to your projects on Monday.,

131023 Two Recommended Lectures - tomorrow and next week

We would like to recommend two upcoming lectures. Tomorrow Thursday 18.00 Liminez Lai of Bureau Spectacular will present the lecture Cartoonish Worlds in the KTH-A Entrance foyer (by the cafe in school).

Thursday morning Veronica will provide access to the space, and Friday morning Adam, one of the student operators will do the same. You may need to enter the workshop at the upper level, and it may be dark, but it will work. HOWEVER - the use of the regular machines may be restricted - alert us if this is an issue!

131029 Additional MasterCam tutorials, and sessions tomorrow

There is additional learning material for 2D milling uploaded on our servers, see the Technique and Software page on MasterCam.

Veronica will be able to assist test jobs today, as well as Wednesday 9.00 and Thursday 9.00. Additional support will be there from 13.00. Make sure to prepare a test file in MasterCam as soon as possible, in parallel with preparing your final files! As some of you have experienced, if a workstation in the computer room does not have MasterCam, it needs to be restarted. It will then take ca 45 minutes for the software to install. The machines in the far right section are most likely to have MasterCam up and running.

131027 Bookings for CNC coming week

The CNC is now booked for our studio Tuesday 13 - 17, all Wednesday and all Thursday. I will also check on Operator availability - primarily to check your files and assist in start-up. Make sure to always be at least two people down there, and never leave it running.

131025 MasterCam resources, and next week

Dear all,

please find resources on MasterCam available under Techiques and Software, or by direct link here. You need to be loggeed in to access this page.

All workstations in the computer cluster should have MasterCam available. If you cannot fint it, please restart the machine whcih should start the installation process.

On Tuesday morning we should discuss all projects in groups, and we will give feedback on you rmaterial and cost estimates. The CNC Router is booked for our studio on Tuesday afternoon, and all Wednesday. Please make sure to explore MasterCam in relation to your projects on Monday.,

131023 Two Recommended Lectures - tomorrow and next week

We would like to recommend two upcoming lectures. Tomorrow Thursday 18.00 Liminez Lai of Bureau Spectacular will present the lecture Cartoonish Worlds in the KTH-A Entrance foyer (by the cafe in school).

https://www.kth.se/social/group/studio-9-bridging-te/page/project-1-proposal-3/

Also, there is a page where we want you to list expected material used and costs, please make sure to have this updated by Friday (this page is closed to the public, you need to be logged in to access it):

https://www.kth.se/social/group/studio-9-bridging-te/page/project-1-cost-estimates/

131025 Schedule

On Friday, we will prepare for CNC demonstrations in the morning (i.e. you keep working), and we meet at 13.00 in the computer room for demonstrations in MasterCam. Hopefully we will also have time to run a job on the Router. At 10.00 Emma from administration will come by the studio with important information for all students (except incoming half year students), make sure to be around at that time!

131018 Studio Schedule

Dear all,

here is the schedule for Friday, October 18:

9:00 - 12:00 Diploma MidCrit (optional) in Red Tent

Ola (9:00) and Sare (11:30) will present and discuss the current status of their thesis. If you are interested you can join the meeting if you prefer to work on your project it is fine as well.

12:15 - 13:15 Lunch meeting: Discuss the findings of your "Speed Dating Excerise"

Bring your lunch or sandwich. We will all meet in the studio to discuss your proposals of merging projects. The Diploma MidCrit requires to have this rather short meeting during lunchtime.

15:00 - 16:30 Studio Lecture by Mårten Nettelbladt

Mårten will present his research on simulation bending behavior in grasshopper. His input is relevant for many of you.

131016 Follow up on Interim and brief for this Thursday

None

Dear all, Thank you very much for the meeting yesterday. You all made a great job. It was good to see all posters printed in time and the studio space being nicely set up. Your work on the projects in models, drawings diagrams enabled a very fruitful discussion and made it possible for the jury to give qualified feedback.

First, please upload your presentations as pdfs here, named by group number:

Now we need to proceed with Project 1 and find the best way to integrate the multiple design ideas and material systems. To take a first step into this direction we would like to ask you to have have a 'Speed-Dating Thursday' tomorrow:Yesterday during the roundtable all groups expressed their interest in the work of other groups. So we ask these groups to pair up and discuss possible ways of combining/merging/juxtaposing the projects. Have two quick sessions in the following combinations:

Group 1 meets Group 6Group 2 meets Group 5Group 3 meets Group 4

Group 1 meets Group 4Group 2 meets Group 6Group 3 meets Group 5

(Please feel free to have more Speed Dates with other groups which you are interested in)Discuss the following approaches to combine projects:- System transition: One system transform into the other, gradually or ad hoc- System hierarchy: One system becomes the frame/primary structure of the other- System scaling: Combination of system through a change in scale of one of the systemsDocument your findings and ideas as follows:- One conceptual photomontage of two model photos that shows the core idea of the combining moment. The image should be combined with overlying graphics of annotation as you did them for your posters.- Sketches that help to explain the approach, details etc.- Additional material which you think is most appropriate to convey your design intend.Please print the images so we can pin them on the wall!On Friday we would like to discuss your ideas and the next steps to take.

131017 Lecture by Snøhetta

Thursday 17 October, Kl 18.00. ABF-huset Z-salen, Sveavägen 41

This lecture is part of the lecture program of Stockholms Arkitektförening, full program can be found here: http://www.arkitekt.se/stockholm

"For over 20 years, Snøhetta has designed some of the world's most notable public and cultural projects. Snøhetta kick-started its career in 1989 with the competition-winning entry for the new library of Alexandria, Egypt. This was later followed by the commission for the Norwegian National Opera in Oslo. Snøhetta established a New York office in 2004 after being awarded the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion Project at the World Trade Center. They are currently working on a number of educational, civic and cultural projects in North America including the expansion of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in California, the Ryerson University Student Learning Centre in Toronto, the Westchester Branch Library in the Bronx, the Isabel Bader Center for the Performing Arts at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, and the redevelopment of Times Square in New York City, expected to be completed in 2015.Simon Ewings was educated in the UK and joined Snøhetta in 2001 as Project Architect for the Oslo Opera and Ballet. He moved to the New York office in 2011 to head up the design of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Expansion."Tack till ABFFör Stockholms arkitektförening - Ia Hjärre och Fritz Halvorsen

131011 Important Notes for the Interim 131015

None

Dear all, a few remarks for the interim the coming Tuesday, also discussed at the tutorials.

1. Make sure to print your drawings the day before (Monday) - add any additional material as separate A4s etc later. Also make sure you have printing credits to do this.

2. Between 10 and 11 am, we want you to collaboratively set up six tables in the middle of the studio space (depending on installations being set up), more or less as the image above. Place all your models on these table, one table per team, no particular order. Also, collect more of the big cardboard screens, place them against the wall towards the stairwell, and pin up all your posters.

3. Have a quick lunch and be ready to start presentations from 11.30 am.

The first half of the interim is set up as a review. You should present your process and outcome in ca 10 min, with a following discussion for ca 10 min.

The second half of the review is set up as a project meeting, in which we all will discuss how your different design approaches can be combined, and how they can be located in the studio space. The studio model will be important for this conversation, as will your estimates of material use and if possible cost.

After the afternoon sessions, Brady Peters will give a lecture at 17.00 in room A3, make sure not to miss this!

Good luck, we look forward to see your work on Tuesday!

131004 Examples of Representational techniques

Representation

Dear all,

thank you for good sessions in today's tutorials, and inspiring input from the Berlin trip. In all sessions, we discussed the need to now document and represent your findings beyond screen dumps and the physcial models. We have compiled a selection of work by previous students over the years, to be found on our server at the link below. The conditions of their projectds differ wildly, and we are just showing examples from each project, but we believe that you can find interesting references on these issues in particular:

* How to annotate model photos and document material experiments.
* How to present principles of parametric models and material systems.
* How to combine photographs, renders and vector graphics in a way that makes the material more legible.
* The role of a graphical standard for your presentations.

131203 Interim Review Project 2

Dear all,

the Interim Review tomorrow will start at 9.00 am. We expect you all to attend the full event and encourage you to engage in the discussion about the projects. We will be in the studio for the review. Please make sure we can use the space in a similar fashion as last time (using the corridor wall to show the posters).

We have 14 projects in total which means 30 minutes for each project (10-15 min presentation, 15min discussion). Please make sure to be in the studio in time and be prepared for the presentation. The order of presentation will be given at the start, and we cannot make any changes since there will be a logic to it.

After the review we have a lecture by Micro Becker and we thought it could be nice to have a drink afterwards at the Treat Bar.

131119 Your reflections on Project 1

Dear all,

PLEASE NOTE: The course reflections on Project 1 are mandatory. You received a form from Emma Persson a few weeks ago. For those of you who have not yet filled in the form make sure to do it asap. WE CAN NOT PASS YOU UNTIL YOUR REFELCTIONS ARE HANDED IN!

131112 Additional info start-up Project 2

Dear all,

for those of you who missed the introduction today, a bit of update, and please check the previous two posts.

* You find the Project 2 brief in the Resource folder on the server, or via direct link here.
* Please register individual or team choices of sites on the new Project Wiki pages no later than Wednesday morning - tomorrow.
* Also, for expenses for materials used in the workshop, Anna Eklund now has a list with proper invocing info. Please make sure to let her know hte materials used to add to this list, and it will automatically be invoiced to the studio.

131112 Using Kartago and Stockholm 3D

Dear all,

here are a few guidelines on how to use Kartago for official digital maps, and the 3D map generated here at school.

Kartago

At the computers in the lab, go to:

S:\STUDENTS\APPS\KARTAGO

You will here find a shortcut to open Kartago. After a number of 'ok' clicks you get to the map, where you can locate any area, and use "Visa" to select map detailing and information (in Swedish unfortunately), and print (select PDF printer) at selected scale.

Stockholm 3D

You will find the Stockholm 3D folder on the UG server space here.

This file gives instructions in Swedish: 3dmodell över Stockholm Hjälp.docx

This Rhino file gives an overview of all areas, find the index of the 3D file you are interested in here: Bladindex med karta.3dm

You will find model fiels for each area in this catalogue: Sammansatta 3dm_filerThe 3D files include a point cloud for terrain, 2D trees and simplified building volumes. If you want a surface from the point cloud you can either use the Rhino command MeshFromPoints, or import it into Grasshopper and use Delauney Mesh operation (you may need to explode the point cloud into individual points to get them into Grasshopper.

131112 Kick off Project 2 and lecture on fabric formwork

Dear all,

Thank you again for good work last week, and interesting conversations on Friday. Tomorrow we start Project 2, please regard the following:

* Make sure that the studio space is clean, and set-up according to the redesign before we start.
* You will work as individuals or as two person teams – we want you to have decided on team configurations no later than Wednesday morning by registering on the new Project Wiki pages.
* You should choose one of three sites; Connecting Bromma Airport, Climbing Danviksklippan or Bridging Hammarbyleden, again by registering your teams on the new Project Wiki pages by Wednesday morning.
* We will present project 2 10.00 – 12.00 in the studio space, introducing the three sites, and provide initial materials for your studies.
* We will have lectures the coming Tuesdays. Tomorrow Anne-Mette Manelius will present her hands-on work on fabric formwork for concrete. While previous lectures have been very focussed on the computational part Anne-Mette will present her prototypes she developed with students.
131105 Project 1 wrap-up, and reading this week

Dear all,

Thanks again for all efforts, and good presentations today! As presented at the end of today´s session, this week will be spent on wrap-up of the project - and reflection by looking at a number of interesting texts relted to our work. We will as scheduled do a text seminar this Friday, starting 10.00. You will find instructions on the texts, and how to select them on the new Reader page. In essence, you should each select two of the 18 texts, and be prepared to present this text, along with brief personal reflections during the seminar.

As discovered by several, you can't edit the page, sorry our mistake. Instead make comments to pick your texts, and make sure to check previous comments. Remember, only two students per text.

131203 Interim Review Project 2

Dear all,

the Interim Review tomorrow will start at 9.00 am. We expect you all to attend the full event and encourage you to engage in the discussion about the projects. We will be in the studio for the review. Please make sure we can use the space in a similar fashion as last time (using the corridor wall to show the posters).

We have 14 projects in total which means 30 minutes for each project (10-15 min presentation, 15min discussion). Please make sure to be in the studio in time and be prepared for the presentation. The order of presentation will be given at the start, and we cannot make any changes since there will be a logic to it.

After the review we have a lecture by Micro Becker and we thought it could be nice to have a drink afterwards at the Treat Bar.

131119 Your reflections on Project 1

Dear all,

PLEASE NOTE: The course reflections on Project 1 are mandatory. You received a form from Emma Persson a few weeks ago. For those of you who have not yet filled in the form make sure to do it asap. WE CAN NOT PASS YOU UNTIL YOUR REFELCTIONS ARE HANDED IN!

131112 Additional info start-up Project 2

Dear all,

for those of you who missed the introduction today, a bit of update, and please check the previous two posts.

* You find the Project 2 brief in the Resource folder on the server, or via direct link here.
* Please register individual or team choices of sites on the new Project Wiki pages no later than Wednesday morning - tomorrow.
* Also, for expenses for materials used in the workshop, Anna Eklund now has a list with proper invocing info. Please make sure to let her know hte materials used to add to this list, and it will automatically be invoiced to the studio.

131112 Using Kartago and Stockholm 3D

Dear all,

here are a few guidelines on how to use Kartago for official digital maps, and the 3D map generated here at school.

Kartago

At the computers in the lab, go to:

S:\STUDENTS\APPS\KARTAGO

You will here find a shortcut to open Kartago. After a number of 'ok' clicks you get to the map, where you can locate any area, and use "Visa" to select map detailing and information (in Swedish unfortunately), and print (select PDF printer) at selected scale.

Stockholm 3D

You will find the Stockholm 3D folder on the UG server space here.

This file gives instructions in Swedish: 3dmodell över Stockholm Hjälp.docx

This Rhino file gives an overview of all areas, find the index of the 3D file you are interested in here: Bladindex med karta.3dm

You will find model fiels for each area in this catalogue: Sammansatta 3dm_filerThe 3D files include a point cloud for terrain, 2D trees and simplified building volumes. If you want a surface from the point cloud you can either use the Rhino command MeshFromPoints, or import it into Grasshopper and use Delauney Mesh operation (you may need to explode the point cloud into individual points to get them into Grasshopper.

131112 Kick off Project 2 and lecture on fabric formwork

Dear all,

Thank you again for good work last week, and interesting conversations on Friday. Tomorrow we start Project 2, please regard the following:

* Make sure that the studio space is clean, and set-up according to the redesign before we start.
* You will work as individuals or as two person teams – we want you to have decided on team configurations no later than Wednesday morning by registering on the new Project Wiki pages.
* You should choose one of three sites; Connecting Bromma Airport, Climbing Danviksklippan or Bridging Hammarbyleden, again by registering your teams on the new Project Wiki pages by Wednesday morning.
* We will present project 2 10.00 – 12.00 in the studio space, introducing the three sites, and provide initial materials for your studies.
* We will have lectures the coming Tuesdays. Tomorrow Anne-Mette Manelius will present her hands-on work on fabric formwork for concrete. While previous lectures have been very focussed on the computational part Anne-Mette will present her prototypes she developed with students.
131105 Project 1 wrap-up, and reading this week

Dear all,

Thanks again for all efforts, and good presentations today! As presented at the end of today´s session, this week will be spent on wrap-up of the project - and reflection by looking at a number of interesting texts relted to our work. We will as scheduled do a text seminar this Friday, starting 10.00. You will find instructions on the texts, and how to select them on the new Reader page. In essence, you should each select two of the 18 texts, and be prepared to present this text, along with brief personal reflections during the seminar.

As discovered by several, you can't edit the page, sorry our mistake. Instead make comments to pick your texts, and make sure to check previous comments. Remember, only two students per text.

131101 Instructions on Start-up and shut-down of router

Dear all,

you will find the instructions on start-up and shut-down, and steps in between for the router on the Master Cam page.

131030 Even more on the CNC

Another CNC-related update. The workshop is closed Thursday and Friday - not to worry, you will have access to the CNC. Thursday morning Veronica will provide access to the space, and Friday morning Adam, one of the student operators will do the same. You may need to enter the workshop at the upper level, and it may be dark, but it will work. HOWEVER - the use of the regular machines may be restricted - alert us if this is an issue!

131029 Additional MasterCam tutorials, and sessions tomorrow

There is additional learning material for 2D milling uploaded on our servers, see the Technique and Software page on MasterCam.

Veronica will be able to assist test jobs today, as well as Wednesday 9.00 and Thursday 9.00. Additional support will be there from 13.00. Make sure to prepare a test file in MasterCam as soon as possible, in parallel with preparing your final files! As some of you have experienced, if a workstation in the computer room does not have MasterCam, it needs to be restarted. It will then take ca 45 minutes for the software to install. The machines in the far right section are most likely to have MasterCam up and running.

131027 Bookings for CNC coming week

The CNC is now booked for our studio Tuesday 13 - 17, all Wednesday and all Thursday. I will also check on Operator availability - primarily to check your files and assist in start-up. Make sure to always be at least two people down there, and never leave it running.

131025 MasterCam resources, and next week

Dear all,

please find resources on MasterCam available under Techiques and Software, or by direct link here. You need to be loggeed in to access this page.

All workstations in the computer cluster should have MasterCam available. If you cannot fint it, please restart the machine whcih should start the installation process.

On Tuesday morning we should discuss all projects in groups, and we will give feedback on you rmaterial and cost estimates. The CNC Router is booked for our studio on Tuesday afternoon, and all Wednesday. Please make sure to explore MasterCam in relation to your projects on Monday.,

131023 Two Recommended Lectures - tomorrow and next week

We would like to recommend two upcoming lectures. Tomorrow Thursday 18.00 Liminez Lai of Bureau Spectacular will present the lecture Cartoonish Worlds in the KTH-A Entrance foyer (by the cafe in school).

131023 A Projects Wiki created + Schedule Friday 131025

None

Dear all,

there is now a wiki page for each of the three new projects, links below. As with any wiki, the point is that you can all edit them freely. Please use these pages for communication within your teams, uploading skethces and images etc - we hope you find this useful. We also suggest that you give your project a name - this could also be changed later, and you can create additional sub pages.

https://www.kth.se/social/group/studio-9-bridging-te/page/project-1-proposal-1/

https://www.kth.se/social/group/studio-9-bridging-te/page/project-1-proposal-3/

Also, there is a page where we want you to list expected material used and costs, please make sure to have this updated by Friday (this page is closed to the public, you need to be logged in to access it):

https://www.kth.se/social/group/studio-9-bridging-te/page/project-1-cost-estimates/

131025 Schedule

On Friday, we will prepare for CNC demonstrations in the morning (i.e. you keep working), and we meet at 13.00 in the computer room for demonstrations in MasterCam. Hopefully we will also have time to run a job on the Router. At 10.00 Emma from administration will come by the studio with important information for all students (except incoming half year students), make sure to be around at that time!

131018 Studio Schedule

Dear all,

here is the schedule for Friday, October 18:

9:00 - 12:00 Diploma MidCrit (optional) in Red Tent

Ola (9:00) and Sare (11:30) will present and discuss the current status of their thesis. If you are interested you can join the meeting if you prefer to work on your project it is fine as well.

12:15 - 13:15 Lunch meeting: Discuss the findings of your "Speed Dating Excerise"

Bring your lunch or sandwich. We will all meet in the studio to discuss your proposals of merging projects. The Diploma MidCrit requires to have this rather short meeting during lunchtime.

15:00 - 16:30 Studio Lecture by Mårten Nettelbladt

Mårten will present his research on simulation bending behavior in grasshopper. His input is relevant for many of you.

131016 Follow up on Interim and brief for this Thursday

None

Dear all, Thank you very much for the meeting yesterday. You all made a great job. It was good to see all posters printed in time and the studio space being nicely set up. Your work on the projects in models, drawings diagrams enabled a very fruitful discussion and made it possible for the jury to give qualified feedback.

First, please upload your presentations as pdfs here, named by group number:

Now we need to proceed with Project 1 and find the best way to integrate the multiple design ideas and material systems. To take a first step into this direction we would like to ask you to have have a 'Speed-Dating Thursday' tomorrow:Yesterday during the roundtable all groups expressed their interest in the work of other groups. So we ask these groups to pair up and discuss possible ways of combining/merging/juxtaposing the projects. Have two quick sessions in the following combinations:

Group 1 meets Group 6Group 2 meets Group 5Group 3 meets Group 4

Group 1 meets Group 4Group 2 meets Group 6Group 3 meets Group 5

(Please feel free to have more Speed Dates with other groups which you are interested in)Discuss the following approaches to combine projects:- System transition: One system transform into the other, gradually or ad hoc- System hierarchy: One system becomes the frame/primary structure of the other- System scaling: Combination of system through a change in scale of one of the systemsDocument your findings and ideas as follows:- One conceptual photomontage of two model photos that shows the core idea of the combining moment. The image should be combined with overlying graphics of annotation as you did them for your posters.- Sketches that help to explain the approach, details etc.- Additional material which you think is most appropriate to convey your design intend.Please print the images so we can pin them on the wall!On Friday we would like to discuss your ideas and the next steps to take.

131017 Lecture by Snøhetta

Thursday 17 October, Kl 18.00. ABF-huset Z-salen, Sveavägen 41

This lecture is part of the lecture program of Stockholms Arkitektförening, full program can be found here: http://www.arkitekt.se/stockholm

"For over 20 years, Snøhetta has designed some of the world's most notable public and cultural projects. Snøhetta kick-started its career in 1989 with the competition-winning entry for the new library of Alexandria, Egypt. This was later followed by the commission for the Norwegian National Opera in Oslo. Snøhetta established a New York office in 2004 after being awarded the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion Project at the World Trade Center. They are currently working on a number of educational, civic and cultural projects in North America including the expansion of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in California, the Ryerson University Student Learning Centre in Toronto, the Westchester Branch Library in the Bronx, the Isabel Bader Center for the Performing Arts at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, and the redevelopment of Times Square in New York City, expected to be completed in 2015.Simon Ewings was educated in the UK and joined Snøhetta in 2001 as Project Architect for the Oslo Opera and Ballet. He moved to the New York office in 2011 to head up the design of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Expansion."Tack till ABFFör Stockholms arkitektförening - Ia Hjärre och Fritz Halvorsen

131011 Important Notes for the Interim 131015

None

Dear all, a few remarks for the interim the coming Tuesday, also discussed at the tutorials.

1. Make sure to print your drawings the day before (Monday) - add any additional material as separate A4s etc later. Also make sure you have printing credits to do this.

2. Between 10 and 11 am, we want you to collaboratively set up six tables in the middle of the studio space (depending on installations being set up), more or less as the image above. Place all your models on these table, one table per team, no particular order. Also, collect more of the big cardboard screens, place them against the wall towards the stairwell, and pin up all your posters.

3. Have a quick lunch and be ready to start presentations from 11.30 am.

The first half of the interim is set up as a review. You should present your process and outcome in ca 10 min, with a following discussion for ca 10 min.

The second half of the review is set up as a project meeting, in which we all will discuss how your different design approaches can be combined, and how they can be located in the studio space. The studio model will be important for this conversation, as will your estimates of material use and if possible cost.

After the afternoon sessions, Brady Peters will give a lecture at 17.00 in room A3, make sure not to miss this!

Good luck, we look forward to see your work on Tuesday!

131011 Text on Material Compuation

From the AD Special Issue

Material Computation: Higher Integration in Morphogenetic Design "Computational design and fabrication have the potential to break down the artificial separation of design into form-fi nding and engineering simulation and in so doing to more closely refl ect the properties of the physical world, where form is inseparably connected to internal constraints and external forces:

131004 Examples of Representational techniques

Representation

Dear all,

thank you for good sessions in today's tutorials, and inspiring input from the Berlin trip. In all sessions, we discussed the need to now document and represent your findings beyond screen dumps and the physcial models. We have compiled a selection of work by previous students over the years, to be found on our server at the link below. The conditions of their projectds differ wildly, and we are just showing examples from each project, but we believe that you can find interesting references on these issues in particular:

* How to annotate model photos and document material experiments.
* How to present principles of parametric models and material systems.
* How to combine photographs, renders and vector graphics in a way that makes the material more legible.
* The role of a graphical standard for your presentations.

We will as scheduled do a text seminar this Friday, starting 10.00. You will find instructions on the texts, and how to select them on the new Reader page. In essence, you should each select two of the 18 texts, and be prepared to present this text, along with brief personal reflections during the seminar.

As discovered by several, you can't edit the page, sorry our mistake. Instead make comments to pick your texts, and make sure to check previous comments. Remember, only two students per text.

131101 Instructions on Start-up and shut-down of router

Dear all,

you will find the instructions on start-up and shut-down, and steps in between for the router on the Master Cam page.

131030 Even more on the CNC

Another CNC-related update. The workshop is closed Thursday and Friday - not to worry, you will have access to the CNC. Thursday morning Veronica will provide access to the space, and Friday morning Adam, one of the student operators will do the same. You may need to enter the workshop at the upper level, and it may be dark, but it will work. HOWEVER - the use of the regular machines may be restricted - alert us if this is an issue!

131029 Additional MasterCam tutorials, and sessions tomorrow

There is additional learning material for 2D milling uploaded on our servers, see the Technique and Software page on MasterCam.

Veronica will be able to assist test jobs today, as well as Wednesday 9.00 and Thursday 9.00. Additional support will be there from 13.00. Make sure to prepare a test file in MasterCam as soon as possible, in parallel with preparing your final files! As some of you have experienced, if a workstation in the computer room does not have MasterCam, it needs to be restarted. It will then take ca 45 minutes for the software to install. The machines in the far right section are most likely to have MasterCam up and running.

131027 Bookings for CNC coming week

The CNC is now booked for our studio Tuesday 13 - 17, all Wednesday and all Thursday. I will also check on Operator availability - primarily to check your files and assist in start-up. Make sure to always be at least two people down there, and never leave it running.

131025 MasterCam resources, and next week

Dear all,

please find resources on MasterCam available under Techiques and Software, or by direct link here. You need to be loggeed in to access this page.

131016 Follow up on Interim and brief for this Thursday

None

Dear all, Thank you very much for the meeting yesterday. You all made a great job. It was good to see all posters printed in time and the studio space being nicely set up. Your work on the projects in models, drawings diagrams enabled a very fruitful discussion and made it possible for the jury to give qualified feedback.

First, please upload your presentations as pdfs here, named by group number:

Now we need to proceed with Project 1 and find the best way to integrate the multiple design ideas and material systems. To take a first step into this direction we would like to ask you to have have a 'Speed-Dating Thursday' tomorrow:Yesterday during the roundtable all groups expressed their interest in the work of other groups. So we ask these groups to pair up and discuss possible ways of combining/merging/juxtaposing the projects. Have two quick sessions in the following combinations:

Group 1 meets Group 6Group 2 meets Group 5Group 3 meets Group 4

Group 1 meets Group 4Group 2 meets Group 6Group 3 meets Group 5

(Please feel free to have more Speed Dates with other groups which you are interested in)Discuss the following approaches to combine projects:- System transition: One system transform into the other, gradually or ad hoc- System hierarchy: One system becomes the frame/primary structure of the other- System scaling: Combination of system through a change in scale of one of the systemsDocument your findings and ideas as follows:- One conceptual photomontage of two model photos that shows the core idea of the combining moment. The image should be combined with overlying graphics of annotation as you did them for your posters.- Sketches that help to explain the approach, details etc.- Additional material which you think is most appropriate to convey your design intend.Please print the images so we can pin them on the wall!On Friday we would like to discuss your ideas and the next steps to take.

"For over 20 years, Snøhetta has designed some of the world's most notable public and cultural projects. Snøhetta kick-started its career in 1989 with the competition-winning entry for the new library of Alexandria, Egypt. This was later followed by the commission for the Norwegian National Opera in Oslo. Snøhetta established a New York office in 2004 after being awarded the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion Project at the World Trade Center. They are currently working on a number of educational, civic and cultural projects in North America including the expansion of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in California, the Ryerson University Student Learning Centre in Toronto, the Westchester Branch Library in the Bronx, the Isabel Bader Center for the Performing Arts at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, and the redevelopment of Times Square in New York City, expected to be completed in 2015.Simon Ewings was educated in the UK and joined Snøhetta in 2001 as Project Architect for the Oslo Opera and Ballet. He moved to the New York office in 2011 to head up the design of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Expansion."Tack till ABFFör Stockholms arkitektförening - Ia Hjärre och Fritz Halvorsen

131011 Important Notes for the Interim 131015

None

Dear all, a few remarks for the interim the coming Tuesday, also discussed at the tutorials.

1. Make sure to print your drawings the day before (Monday) - add any additional material as separate A4s etc later. Also make sure you have printing credits to do this.

2. Between 10 and 11 am, we want you to collaboratively set up six tables in the middle of the studio space (depending on installations being set up), more or less as the image above. Place all your models on these table, one table per team, no particular order. Also, collect more of the big cardboard screens, place them against the wall towards the stairwell, and pin up all your posters.

3. Have a quick lunch and be ready to start presentations from 11.30 am.

The first half of the interim is set up as a review. You should present your process and outcome in ca 10 min, with a following discussion for ca 10 min.

The second half of the review is set up as a project meeting, in which we all will discuss how your different design approaches can be combined, and how they can be located in the studio space. The studio model will be important for this conversation, as will your estimates of material use and if possible cost.

After the afternoon sessions, Brady Peters will give a lecture at 17.00 in room A3, make sure not to miss this!

Good luck, we look forward to see your work on Tuesday!

131011 Text on Material Compuation

From the AD Special Issue

Material Computation: Higher Integration in Morphogenetic Design "Computational design and fabrication have the potential to break down the artificial separation of design into form-fi nding and engineering simulation and in so doing to more closely refl ect the properties of the physical world, where form is inseparably connected to internal constraints and external forces:

131004 Examples of Representational techniques

Representation

Dear all,

thank you for good sessions in today's tutorials, and inspiring input from the Berlin trip. In all sessions, we discussed the need to now document and represent your findings beyond screen dumps and the physcial models. We have compiled a selection of work by previous students over the years, to be found on our server at the link below. The conditions of their projectds differ wildly, and we are just showing examples from each project, but we believe that you can find interesting references on these issues in particular:

* How to annotate model photos and document material experiments.
* How to present principles of parametric models and material systems.
* How to combine photographs, renders and vector graphics in a way that makes the material more legible.
* The role of a graphical standard for your presentations.

* You find the Project 2 brief in the Resource folder on the server, or via direct link here.
* Please register individual or team choices of sites on the new Project Wiki pages no later than Wednesday morning - tomorrow.
* Also, for expenses for materials used in the workshop, Anna Eklund now has a list with proper invocing info. Please make sure to let her know hte materials used to add to this list, and it will automatically be invoiced to the studio.
¶ 131112 Using Kartago and Stockholm 3D¶ Dear all,¶ here are a few guidelines on how to use Kartago for official digital maps, and the 3D map generated here at school.¶ Kartago¶ At the computers in the lab, go to:¶ S:\STUDENTS\APPS\KARTAGO¶ You will here find a shortcut to open Kartago. After a number of 'ok' clicks you get to the map, where you can locate any area, and use "Visa" to select map detailing and information (in Swedish unfortunately), and print (select PDF printer) at selected scale.¶ Stockholm 3D¶ You will find the Stockholm 3D folder on the UG server space here.¶ This file gives instructions in Swedish: 3dmodell över Stockholm Hjälp.docx¶ This Rhino file gives an overview of all areas, find the index of the 3D file you are interested in here: Bladindex med karta.3dm¶ You will find model fiels for each area in this catalogue: Sammansatta 3dm_filerThe 3D files include a point cloud for terrain, 2D trees and simplified building volumes. If you want a surface from the point cloud you can either use the Rhino command MeshFromPoints, or import it into Grasshopper and use Delauney Mesh operation (you may need to explode the point cloud into individual points to get them into Grasshopper.¶ 131112 Kick off Project 2 and lecture on fabric formwork ¶ Dear all,¶ Thank you again for good work last week, and interesting conversations on Friday. Tomorrow we start Project 2, please regard the following:¶
* Make sure that the studio space is clean, and set-up according to the redesign before we start.
* You will work as individuals or as two person teams – we want you to have decided on team configurations no later than Wednesday morning by registering on the new Project Wiki pages.
* You should choose one of three sites; Connecting Bromma Airport, Climbing Danviksklippan or Bridging Hammarbyleden, again by registering your teams on the new Project Wiki pages by Wednesday morning.
* We will present project 2 10.00 – 12.00 in the studio space, introducing the three sites, and provide initial materials for your studies.
* We will have lectures the coming Tuesdays. Tomorrow Anne-Mette Manelius will present her hands-on work on fabric formwork for concrete. While previous lectures have been very focussed on the computational part Anne-Mette will present her prototypes she developed with students.
131105 Project 1 wrap-up, and reading this week¶ Dear all,¶ Thanks again for all efforts, and good presentations today! As presented at the end of today´s session, this week will be spent on wrap-up of the project - and reflection by looking at a number of interesting texts relted to our work. We will as scheduled do a text seminar this Friday, starting 10.00. You will find instructions on the texts, and how to select them on the new Reader page. In essence, you should each select two of the 18 texts, and be prepared to present this text, along with brief personal reflections during the seminar.¶ As discovered by several, you can't edit the page, sorry our mistake. Instead make comments to pick your texts, and make sure to check previous comments. Remember, only two students per text.¶ 131101 Instructions on Start-up and shut-down of router¶ Dear all,¶ you will find the instructions on start-up and shut-down, and steps in between for the router on the Master Cam page.¶ 131030 Even more on the CNC¶ Another CNC-related update. The workshop is closed Thursday and Friday - not to worry, you will have access to the CNC. Thursday morning Veronica will provide access to the space, and Friday morning Adam, one of the student operators will do the same. You may need to enter the workshop at the upper level, and it may be dark, but it will work. HOWEVER - the use of the regular machines may be restricted - alert us if this is an issue!¶ 131029 Additional MasterCam tutorials, and sessions tomorrow¶ There is additional learning material for 2D milling uploaded on our servers, see the Technique and Software page on MasterCam.¶ Veronica will be able to assist test jobs today, as well as Wednesday 9.00 and Thursday 9.00. Additional support will be there from 13.00. Make sure to prepare a test file in MasterCam as soon as possible, in parallel with preparing your final files! As some of you have experienced, if a workstation in the computer room does not have MasterCam, it needs to be restarted. It will then take ca 45 minutes for the software to install. The machines in the far right section are most likely to have MasterCam up and running.¶ 131027 Bookings for CNC coming week¶ The CNC is now booked for our studio Tuesday 13 - 17, all Wednesday and all Thursday. I will also check on Operator availability - primarily to check your files and assist in start-up. Make sure to always be at least two people down there, and never leave it running.¶ 131025 MasterCam resources, and next week¶ Dear all,¶ please find resources on MasterCam available under Techiques and Software, or by direct link here. You need to be loggeed in to access this page.¶ All workstations in the computer cluster should have MasterCam available. If you cannot fint it, please restart the machine whcih should start the installation process.¶ On Tuesday morning we should discuss all projects in groups, and we will give feedback on you rmaterial and cost estimates. The CNC Router is booked for our studio on Tuesday afternoon, and all Wednesday. Please make sure to explore MasterCam in relation to your projects on Monday.,¶ ¶ 131023 Two Recommended Lectures - tomorrow and next week ¶ We would like to recommend two upcoming lectures. Tomorrow Thursday 18.00 Liminez Lai of Bureau Spectacular will present the lecture Cartoonish Worlds in the KTH-A Entrance foyer (by the cafe in school).¶ Read more here: http://cargocollective.com/drawpointtalk¶ Next Thursday 31/10 Jessie Reiser will lecture in A2, at 18.00. You should register to this lecture, via link below!¶ Read more here: http://www.arkitekt.se/s79132¶ ¶ 131023 A Projects Wiki created + Schedule Friday 131025¶ None¶ None¶ None¶ ¶ ¶ Dear all,¶ there is now a wiki page for each of the three new projects, links below. As with any wiki, the point is that you can all edit them freely. Please use these pages for communication within your teams, uploading skethces and images etc - we hope you find this useful. We also suggest that you give your project a name - this could also be changed later, and you can create additional sub pages.¶ https://www.kth.se/social/group/studio-9-bridging-te/page/project-1-proposal-1/¶ https://www.kth.se/social/group/studio-9-bridging-te/page/project-1-proposal-2/¶ https://www.kth.se/social/group/studio-9-bridging-te/page/project-1-proposal-3/¶ Also, there is a page where we want you to list expected material used and costs, please make sure to have this updated by Friday (this page is closed to the public, you need to be logged in to access it):¶ https://www.kth.se/social/group/studio-9-bridging-te/page/project-1-cost-estimates/¶ 131025 Schedule¶ On Friday, we will prepare for CNC demonstrations in the morning (i.e. you keep working), and we meet at 13.00 in the computer room for demonstrations in MasterCam. Hopefully we will also have time to run a job on the Router. At 10.00 Emma from administration will come by the studio with important information for all students (except incoming half year students), make sure to be around at that time!¶ 131018 Studio Schedule¶ Dear all,¶ here is the schedule for Friday, October 18:¶ 9:00 - 12:00 Diploma MidCrit (optional) in Red Tent¶ Ola (9:00) and Sare (11:30) will present and discuss the current status of their thesis. If you are interested you can join the meeting if you prefer to work on your project it is fine as well.¶ 12:15 - 13:15 Lunch meeting: Discuss the findings of your "Speed Dating Excerise"¶ Bring your lunch or sandwich. We will all meet in the studio to discuss your proposals of merging projects. The Diploma MidCrit requires to have this rather short meeting during lunchtime.¶ 15:00 - 16:30 Studio Lecture by Mårten Nettelbladt¶ ¶ Mårten will present his research on simulation bending behavior in grasshopper. His input is relevant for many of you.¶ ¶ 131016 Follow up on Interim and brief for this Thursday¶ None¶ Dear all, Thank you very much for the meeting yesterday. You all made a great job. It was good to see all posters printed in time and the studio space being nicely set up. Your work on the projects in models, drawings diagrams enabled a very fruitful discussion and made it possible for the jury to give qualified feedback.¶ First, please upload your presentations as pdfs here, named by group number:¶ Now we need to proceed with Project 1 and find the best way to integrate the multiple design ideas and material systems. To take a first step into this direction we would like to ask you to have have a 'Speed-Dating Thursday' tomorrow:Yesterday during the roundtable all groups expressed their interest in the work of other groups. So we ask these groups to pair up and discuss possible ways of combining/merging/juxtaposing the projects. Have two quick sessions in the following combinations:¶ Group 1 meets Group 6Group 2 meets Group 5Group 3 meets Group 4¶ Group 1 meets Group 4Group 2 meets Group 6Group 3 meets Group 5¶ (Please feel free to have more Speed Dates with other groups which you are interested in)Discuss the following approaches to combine projects:- System transition: One system transform into the other, gradually or ad hoc- System hierarchy: One system becomes the frame/primary structure of the other- System scaling: Combination of system through a change in scale of one of the systemsDocument your findings and ideas as follows:- One conceptual photomontage of two model photos that shows the core idea of the combining moment.

Dear all,

You'll find the gh material from last session on the server space here.

Please take a look at it and try to understand the logic, since we are going to continue working on the same file, specially those of you who missed the last session.

The "data tree" and "data management" operations (i.e. ListItem, SubList, Graft, Flatten, FlipMatrix, ExplodeTree), "surface subdivision" functions (i.e. IsoCrv, IsoTrim, DivideSrf, EvalSrf), and "mathematical operations" (i.e. Range, Series, Domains, Evaluation) are fundamentals for parametric design and you need to understand those in order to be able to use the software properly.

We'll meet Tuesday afternoon according to the schedule.

Dear all,

for the interim tomorrow, we will be in the studio. We will come by ca 16.15 today and help reorganizing the space - we expect to use corridor and wall.

We need to start tomorrow Friday at 9.00 sharp, so please make sure to print already today!

As stated before, the deliverables may be adjusted to fit what you have been working on, but we still list the deliverables stated in the brief as a reminder.

A few notes however:

* Only pinup the most relevant parts of your design portfolio, but bring the complete portfolio as printed.
* Remember to include scale, north arrows, names of references on your drawings.
* And again, make sure to be on time for when we start, 9.00 sharp.
* We expect to run a little bit into lunch. In the afternoon, we would like you to set up the two prototypes from project 1 - we hope to get an ok for doing this in the triangle. Alternatively we will compact the studio space somewhat (perhaps get rid of the sofa).
Deliverables as per brief - critical parts marked in italics:

• Full design portfolio• Diagrammatic presentation of material systems, including structural principles • Developed design proposals presented in a series of plans and sections (1:100) and at least two perspectives or axonometrics.• Site plan with design proposal scale 1:400 • Daylight analysis of urban context and/or daylight analysis of proposal.• Structural analysis and/or diagrammatic analysis of form-finding process.• At least one full- or large-scale prototype of key aspect of proposal

150331 Potential printing/plotting issues¶

Dear all,¶

we just received an email in regards to the potential printing problems due to contractual issues between KTH and Payex. The infomration is in Swedish, but in short the following should be considered.¶

- All students registered with Payex using KTH mail and KTH Logins should now have a new contract, that allows a max print cost is set to 800 sek (from previous 100 sek).¶

- Some students may have the old contract with 100 sek limit - this then need to be removed for the raise to 800.¶

- Students who has not provided KTH mail and login must change to these, then contact Andreas Billing in person or via email (abilling@kth.se)¶

- Students who do not yet have a Payex account must create an account, then contact Andreas Billing.¶

You should also have received an email with this information. For any questions please contact Andreas.¶

150320 Interim 2

Dear all,

for the interim tomorrow, we will be in the studio. We will come by ca 16.15 today and help reorganizing the space - we expect to use corridor and wall.

We need to start tomorrow Friday at 9.00 sharp, so please make sure to print already today!

As stated before, the deliverables may be adjusted to fit what you have been working on, but we still list the deliverables stated in the brief as a reminder.

A few notes however:

* Only pinup the most relevant parts of your design portfolio, but bring the complete portfolio as printed.
* Remember to include scale, north arrows, names of references on your drawings.
* And again, make sure to be on time for when we start, 9.00 sharp.
* We expect to run a little bit into lunch. In the afternoon, we would like you to set up the two prototypes from project 1 - we hope to get an ok for doing this in the triangle. Alternatively we will compact the studio space somewhat (perhaps get rid of the sofa).
Deliverables as per brief - critical parts marked in italics:

• Full design portfolio• Diagrammatic presentation of material systems, including structural principles • Developed design proposals presented in a series of plans and sections (1:100) and at least two perspectives or axonometrics.• Site plan with design proposal scale 1:400 • Daylight analysis of urban context and/or daylight analysis of proposal.• Structural analysis and/or diagrammatic analysis of form-finding process.• At least one full- or large-scale prototype of key aspect of proposal

150331 Potential printing/plotting issues

Dear all,

we just received an email in regards to the potential printing problems due to contractual issues between KTH and Payex. The infomration is in Swedish, but in short the following should be considered.

- All students registered with Payex using KTH mail and KTH Logins should now have a new contract, that allows a max print cost is set to 800 sek (from previous 100 sek).

- Some students may have the old contract with 100 sek limit - this then need to be removed for the raise to 800.

- Students who has not provided KTH mail and login must change to these, then contact Andreas Billing in person or via email (abilling@kth.se)

- Students who do not yet have a Payex account must create an account, then contact Andreas Billing.

You should also have received an email with this information. For any questions please contact Andreas.

150320 Interim 2

Dear all,

for the interim tomorrow, we will be in the studio. We will come by ca 16.15 today and help reorganizing the space - we expect to use corridor and wall.

We need to start tomorrow Friday at 9.00 sharp, so please make sure to print already today!

As stated before, the deliverables may be adjusted to fit what you have been working on, but we still list the deliverables stated in the brief as a reminder.

A few notes however:

* Only pinup the most relevant parts of your design portfolio, but bring the complete portfolio as printed.
* Remember to include scale, north arrows, names of references on your drawings.
* And again, make sure to be on time for when we start, 9.00 sharp.
* We expect to run a little bit into lunch. In the afternoon, we would like you to set up the two prototypes from project 1 - we hope to get an ok for doing this in the triangle. Alternatively we will compact the studio space somewhat (perhaps get rid of the sofa).
Deliverables as per brief - critical parts marked in italics:

• Full design portfolio• Diagrammatic presentation of material systems, including structural principles • Developed design proposals presented in a series of plans and sections (1:100) and at least two perspectives or axonometrics.• Site plan with design proposal scale 1:400 • Daylight analysis of urban context and/or daylight analysis of proposal.• Structural analysis and/or diagrammatic analysis of form-finding process.• At least one full- or large-scale prototype of key aspect of proposal

150331 Potential printing/plotting issues

Dear all,

we just received an email in regards to the potential printing problems due to contractual issues between KTH and Payex. The infomration is in Swedish, but in short the following should be considered.

- All students registered with Payex using KTH mail and KTH Logins should now have a new contract, that allows a max print cost is set to 800 sek (from previous 100 sek).

- Some students may have the old contract with 100 sek limit - this then need to be removed for the raise to 800.

- Students who has not provided KTH mail and login must change to these, then contact Andreas Billing in person or via email (abilling@kth.se)

- Students who do not yet have a Payex account must create an account, then contact Andreas Billing.

You should also have received an email with this information. For any questions please contact Andreas.

150331-150401 Final Run and FInal Review

Dear all,

thanks for today's tutorials, and good luck for the final run.

On Tuesday we will be available for final support in the morning from 9 - 11, in the studio or in our offices.

The Review starts Wednesday 13.00 in room A1, which will be accessible from 12.00. EVERYONE MUST BE PRESENT, WITH COMPLETED MATERIAL, AT THIS TIME.

150324 Representation Talk online

You can now find the presentation on representation on the server, here.

150320 Interim 2

Dear all,

for the interim tomorrow, we will be in the studio. We will come by ca 16.15 today and help reorganizing the space - we expect to use corridor and wall.

We need to start tomorrow Friday at 9.00 sharp, so please make sure to print already today!

As stated before, the deliverables may be adjusted to fit what you have been working on, but we still list the deliverables stated in the brief as a reminder.

A few notes however:

* Only pinup the most relevant parts of your design portfolio, but bring the complete portfolio as printed.
* Remember to include scale, north arrows, names of references on your drawings.
* And again, make sure to be on time for when we start, 9.00 sharp.
* We expect to run a little bit into lunch. In the afternoon, we would like you to set up the two prototypes from project 1 - we hope to get an ok for doing this in the triangle. Alternatively we will compact the studio space somewhat (perhaps get rid of the sofa).
Deliverables as per brief - critical parts marked in italics:

• Full design portfolio• Diagrammatic presentation of material systems, including structural principles • Developed design proposals presented in a series of plans and sections (1:100) and at least two perspectives or axonometrics.• Site plan with design proposal scale 1:400 • Daylight analysis of urban context and/or daylight analysis of proposal.• Structural analysis and/or diagrammatic analysis of form-finding process.• At least one full- or large-scale prototype of key aspect of proposal

150305 Schedule Updated

The schedule has been updated as per the changes this week, and the new date for final review Project 3 1/4.

150305 Schedule change - demo on Kangaroo and Karamba Thursday 13-17!

Dear all, the computational design session on structural analysis - with Kangaroo and Karamba - has been moved from Friday morning to Thursday efternoon this week. Vladimir Ondejcik will provide the demo, space to be confirmed, but it will run from 13 - ca 17. Instructions for installation will be provided shortly.

Friday 27/2 Computational Design

Dear all,

The resource file from both Tuesday and Friday sessions are now uploaded on server space.

Friday 27/2 Computational Design + visit to OpenLabs with guest lecture

Dear all,

tomorrow Örn Erlendsson will give demonstrations on daylight analysis in Grasshopper, Honeybee and Ladybug - hopefully you all managed to downlod as per instructions in previous post below) - starting 9.00 in room E407.

In the afternoon we attend the lecture and event with Guy Nordenson at the KTH Open Labs. We meet at 13.45 at the Open Labs entrance, Valhallavägen 79. I have tickets for all. The schedule for the afternoon below.

14.00-14.10: Welcoming remarks.14.10-15.00: KEYNOTE: Professor Guy Nordenson, Structures of Coastal Resilience15.00-15.45: Swedish research and practice for resilient urban areas: 15.45-16.30 Panel Discussion16.30-17.30 informal reception, Open Cafe

For Friday 27/2 Computational Design - download instructions

Dear all,

For the demo session of Ladybug and Honeybee (daylight simulation), you need to download and install these addons before hand. It is crucial that you follow the instructions exactly.

Installation instructions: https://github.com/mostaphaRoudsari/ladybug/blob/master/resources/Installation_Instructions.txtDownload the latest versions (0.0.56 and 0.0.59) of Honeybee and Ladybug from here: http://www.food4rhino.com/project/ladybug-honeybee?etx

Monday 150223 Coming Computational Design session

Dear all,

You'll find the gh material from last session on the server space here.

Please take a look at it and try to understand the logic, since we are going to continue working on the same file, specially those of you who missed the last session.

The "data tree" and "data management" operations (i.e. ListItem, SubList, Graft, Flatten, FlipMatrix, ExplodeTree), "surface subdivision" functions (i.e. IsoCrv, IsoTrim, DivideSrf, EvalSrf), and "mathematical operations" (i.e. Range, Series, Domains, Evaluation) are fundamentals for parametric design and you need to understand those in order to be able to use the software properly.

We'll meet Tuesday afternoon according to the schedule.

Tuesday 150217 Coming Interim Review, changes to schedule and special event

Dear all,

for our interim review this Friday we have Pablo Miranda as a guest. We start at 13.15 in room D307 - make sure to have pinned up no later than 13.00! Please remember that we do have the computational design session from 9 - 12 on Friday before the interim (in D307) - this means you need to print your material earlier.

We also ask you to upload your design portolio on the server at this location no later than Friday 17.00: 02_Submissions\Project3_Interim1

There are a few changes to the schedule next week:

* We have a new added computational desing session on Tuesday afternoon (tutorials are moved to the morning).

150331 Potential printing/plotting issues

Dear all,

we just received an email in regards to the potential printing problems due to contractual issues between KTH and Payex. The infomration is in Swedish, but in short the following should be considered.

- All students registered with Payex using KTH mail and KTH Logins should now have a new contract, that allows a max print cost is set to 800 sek (from previous 100 sek).

- Some students may have the old contract with 100 sek limit - this then need to be removed for the raise to 800.

- Students who has not provided KTH mail and login must change to these, then contact Andreas Billing in person or via email (abilling@kth.se)

- Students who do not yet have a Payex account must create an account, then contact Andreas Billing.

You should also have received an email with this information. For any questions please contact Andreas.

150331-150401 Final Run and FInal Review

Dear all,

thanks for today's tutorials, and good luck for the final run.

Dear all,

for the interim tomorrow, we will be in the studio. We will come by ca 16.15 today and help reorganizing the space - we expect to use corridor and wall.

We need to start tomorrow Friday at 9.00 sharp, so please make sure to print already today!

As stated before, the deliverables may be adjusted to fit what you have been working on, but we still list the deliverables stated in the brief as a reminder.

A few notes however:

* Only pinup the most relevant parts of your design portfolio, but bring the complete portfolio as printed.
* Remember to include scale, north arrows, names of references on your drawings.
* And again, make sure to be on time for when we start, 9.00 sharp.
* We expect to run a little bit into lunch. In the afternoon, we would like you to set up the two prototypes from project 1 - we hope to get an ok for doing this in the triangle. Alternatively we will compact the studio space somewhat (perhaps get rid of the sofa).
Deliverables as per brief - critical parts marked in italics:

• Full design portfolio• Diagrammatic presentation of material systems, including structural principles • Developed design proposals presented in a series of plans and sections (1:100) and at least two perspectives or axonometrics.• Site plan with design proposal scale 1:400 • Daylight analysis of urban context and/or daylight analysis of proposal.• Structural analysis and/or diagrammatic analysis of form-finding process.• At least one full- or large-scale prototype of key aspect of proposal

150331 Potential printing/plotting issues

Dear all,

we just received an email in regards to the potential printing problems due to contractual issues between KTH and Payex. The infomration is in Swedish, but in short the following should be considered.

- All students registered with Payex using KTH mail and KTH Logins should now have a new contract, that allows a max print cost is set to 800 sek (from previous 100 sek).

- Some students may have the old contract with 100 sek limit - this then need to be removed for the raise to 800.

- Students who has not provided KTH mail and login must change to these, then contact Andreas Billing in person or via email (abilling@kth.se)

- Students who do not yet have a Payex account must create an account, then contact Andreas Billing.

You should also have received an email with this information. For any questions please contact Andreas.

150331 Potential printing/plotting issues

Dear all,

we just received an email in regards to the potential printing problems due to contractual issues between KTH and Payex. The infomration is in Swedish, but in short the following should be considered.

- All students registered with Payex using KTH mail and KTH Logins should now have a new contract, that allows a max print cost is set to 800 sek (from previous 100 sek).

- Some students may have the old contract with 100 sek limit - this then need to be removed for the raise to 800.

- Students who has not provided KTH mail and login must change to these, then contact Andreas Billing in person or via email (abilling@kth.se)

- Students who do not yet have a Payex account must create an account, then contact Andreas Billing.

You should also have received an email with this information. For any questions please contact Andreas.

150331 Potential printing/plotting issues

Dear all,

we just received an email in regards to the potential printing problems due to contractual issues between KTH and Payex. The infomration is in Swedish, but in short the following should be considered.

- All students registered with Payex using KTH mail and KTH Logins should now have a new contract, that allows a max print cost is set to 800 sek (from previous 100 sek).

- Some students may have the old contract with 100 sek limit - this then need to be removed for the raise to 800.

- Students who has not provided KTH mail and login must change to these, then contact Andreas Billing in person or via email (abilling@kth.se)

- Students who do not yet have a Payex account must create an account, then contact Andreas Billing.

You should also have received an email with this information. For any questions please contact Andreas.

150331 Potential printing/plotting issues

Dear all,

we just received an email in regards to the potential printing problems due to contractual issues between KTH and Payex. The infomration is in Swedish, but in short the following should be considered.

- All students registered with Payex using KTH mail and KTH Logins should now have a new contract, that allows a max print cost is set to 800 sek (from previous 100 sek).

- Some students may have the old contract with 100 sek limit - this then need to be removed for the raise to 800.

- Students who has not provided KTH mail and login must change to these, then contact Andreas Billing in person or via email (abilling@kth.se)

- Students who do not yet have a Payex account must create an account, then contact Andreas Billing.

You should also have received an email with this information. For any questions please contact Andreas.

150331 Potential printing/plotting issues

Dear all,

we just received an email in regards to the potential printing problems due to contractual issues between KTH and Payex. The infomration is in Swedish, but in short the following should be considered.

- All students registered with Payex using KTH mail and KTH Logins should now have a new contract, that allows a max print cost is set to 800 sek (from previous 100 sek).

- Some students may have the old contract with 100 sek limit - this then need to be removed for the raise to 800.

- Students who has not provided KTH mail and login must change to these, then contact Andreas Billing in person or via email (abilling@kth.se)

- Students who do not yet have a Payex account must create an account, then contact Andreas Billing.

You should also have received an email with this information. For any questions please contact Andreas.

150331 Potential printing/plotting issues

Dear all,

we just received an email in regards to the potential printing problems due to contractual issues between KTH and Payex. The infomration is in Swedish, but in short the following should be considered.

- All students registered with Payex using KTH mail and KTH Logins should now have a new contract, that allows a max print cost is set to 800 sek (from previous 100 sek).

- Some students may have the old contract with 100 sek limit - this then need to be removed for the raise to 800.

- Students who has not provided KTH mail and login must change to these, then contact Andreas Billing in person or via email (abilling@kth.se)

- Students who do not yet have a Payex account must create an account, then contact Andreas Billing.

You should also have received an email with this information. For any questions please contact Andreas.

150331 Potential printing/plotting issues

Dear all,

we just received an email in regards to the potential printing problems due to contractual issues between KTH and Payex. The infomration is in Swedish, but in short the following should be considered.

- All students registered with Payex using KTH mail and KTH Logins should now have a new contract, that allows a max print cost is set to 800 sek (from previous 100 sek).

- Some students may have the old contract with 100 sek limit - this then need to be removed for the raise to 800.

- Students who has not provided KTH mail and login must change to these, then contact Andreas Billing in person or via email (abilling@kth.se)

- Students who do not yet have a Payex account must create an account, then contact Andreas Billing.

You should also have received an email with this information. For any questions please contact Andreas.

150331 Potential printing/plotting issues

Dear all,

we just received an email in regards to the potential printing problems due to contractual issues between KTH and Payex. The infomration is in Swedish, but in short the following should be considered.

- All students registered with Payex using KTH mail and KTH Logins should now have a new contract, that allows a max print cost is set to 800 sek (from previous 100 sek).

- Some students may have the old contract with 100 sek limit - this then need to be removed for the raise to 800.

- Students who has not provided KTH mail and login must change to these, then contact Andreas Billing in person or via email (abilling@kth.se)

- Students who do not yet have a Payex account must create an account, then contact Andreas Billing.

You should also have received an email with this information. For any questions please contact Andreas.

150331 Potential printing/plotting issues

Dear all,

we just received an email in regards to the potential printing problems due to contractual issues between KTH and Payex. The infomration is in Swedish, but in short the following should be considered.

- All students registered with Payex using KTH mail and KTH Logins should now have a new contract, that allows a max print cost is set to 800 sek (from previous 100 sek).

- Some students may have the old contract with 100 sek limit - this then need to be removed for the raise to 800.

- Students who has not provided KTH mail and login must change to these, then contact Andreas Billing in person or via email (abilling@kth.se)

- Students who do not yet have a Payex account must create an account, then contact Andreas Billing.

You should also have received an email with this information. For any questions please contact Andreas.

Dear all,

for the interim tomorrow, we will be in the studio. We will come by ca 16.15 today and help reorganizing the space - we expect to use corridor and wall.

We need to start tomorrow Friday at 9.00 sharp, so please make sure to print already today!

As stated before, the deliverables may be adjusted to fit what you have been working on, but we still list the deliverables stated in the brief as a reminder.

A few notes however:

* Only pinup the most relevant parts of your design portfolio, but bring the complete portfolio as printed.
* Remember to include scale, north arrows, names of references on your drawings.
* And again, make sure to be on time for when we start, 9.00 sharp.
* We expect to run a little bit into lunch. In the afternoon, we would like you to set up the two prototypes from project 1 - we hope to get an ok for doing this in the triangle. Alternatively we will compact the studio space somewhat (perhaps get rid of the sofa).
Deliverables as per brief - critical parts marked in italics:

• Full design portfolio• Diagrammatic presentation of material systems, including structural principles • Developed design proposals presented in a series of plans and sections (1:100) and at least two perspectives or axonometrics.• Site plan with design proposal scale 1:400 • Daylight analysis of urban context and/or daylight analysis of proposal.• Structural analysis and/or diagrammatic analysis of form-finding process.• At least one full- or large-scale prototype of key aspect of proposal

¶ Studio 9 FInal Week!¶

Dear all,¶

Thank you all for great work and presentations this Friday! ¶

And now, we commence into the final week! A few notes and reminders below.¶

* Kay will meet you all Monday 10.00, for the planning of the assembly of the exhibition space. Please note that this is a compulsory week for everyone – with the objective of show casing your work. Also, you will need to send someone to pick up the steel detail, and someone to pick up helmets from Tyréns.
* We looked into setting up a time lapse camera for the assembly, but unfortunately we could not come up with a good solution – please all take photographs of the assembly process, that we can later share (there is a link to a folder where you can put images below)!
* Elsa will be in Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon, and Jonas on Wednesday afternoon – if questions arise at other times please email all of us, or call if urgent.
* Final presentation panels should be uploaded no later than Wednesday 9.00, on server at link below.
* Remember, you also have the opportunity to display Project 4 – but you need to use the same template as before.
* The tentative time for exhibition opening is Friday 15.00.
* You also need to submit project 4 presentation + design portfolio for grading – please do so no later than Friday 29th, link below.
* Finally, we want to organize a last get-together. We already know that Mimmi will be away on Friday, so we ask you to respond to this email with the dates of your departure (or for Mimmi when you are back in town). Hopefully we can find a date that suits all, after the exhibition opening.

150331 Potential printing/plotting issues

Dear all,

we just received an email in regards to the potential printing problems due to contractual issues between KTH and Payex. The infomration is in Swedish, but in short the following should be considered.

- All students registered with Payex using KTH mail and KTH Logins should now have a new contract, that allows a max print cost is set to 800 sek (from previous 100 sek).

- Some students may have the old contract with 100 sek limit - this then need to be removed for the raise to 800.

- Students who has not provided KTH mail and login must change to these, then contact Andreas Billing in person or via email (abilling@kth.se)

- Students who do not yet have a Payex account must create an account, then contact Andreas Billing.

You should also have received an email with this information. For any questions please contact Andreas.

150331-150401 Final Run and FInal Review

Dear all,

150320 Interim 2

Dear all,

for the interim tomorrow, we will be in the studio. We will come by ca 16.15 today and help reorganizing the space - we expect to use corridor and wall.

We need to start tomorrow Friday at 9.00 sharp, so please make sure to print already today!

As stated before, the deliverables may be adjusted to fit what you have been working on, but we still list the deliverables stated in the brief as a reminder.

A few notes however:

* Only pinup the most relevant parts of your design portfolio, but bring the complete portfolio as printed.
* Remember to include scale, north arrows, names of references on your drawings.
* And again, make sure to be on time for when we start, 9.00 sharp.
* We expect to run a little bit into lunch. In the afternoon, we would like you to set up the two prototypes from project 1 - we hope to get an ok for doing this in the triangle. Alternatively we will compact the studio space somewhat (perhaps get rid of the sofa).
Deliverables as per brief - critical parts marked in italics:

• Full design portfolio• Diagrammatic presentation of material systems, including structural principles • Developed design proposals presented in a series of plans and sections (1:100) and at least two perspectives or axonometrics.• Site plan with design proposal scale 1:400 • Daylight analysis of urban context and/or daylight analysis of proposal.• Structural analysis and/or diagrammatic analysis of form-finding process.• At least one full- or large-scale prototype of key aspect of proposal

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS¶

Hello,¶

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.¶

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm. Check this link out:¶

http://www.bauhaus.se/bygg/tak/isolering.html?p=2¶

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).¶

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.¶

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.¶

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.¶

Nice weekend,¶

Ulf & Felipe¶

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

151022 MILLING JOB¶

Hello,¶

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"¶

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!¶

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.¶

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.¶

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.¶

Feel free to contact us for any questions,¶

Ulf & Felipe¶

150918 First pinup - REVISED

Revision - schedule today as follows:

13 - 14 Tutorial on thesis project, Vilius, in studio

14 - 16.30 Pinup in studio. Boards will be available from 12.

Dear all, we decided to try the pinup in the studio space after all. We start at 13.00, and we will bring additional screens in just before lunch. Make sure to print all your material well in time before we start (if you have not yet used the new printer system, make sure to test it already today.

We should also make sure that we have moved our tables acccording to the conversation this Monday.

See you all tomorrow.

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday¶

Dear all, ¶

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.¶

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!¶

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12¶

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture¶

We highly recommend this lecture!¶

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.¶

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."¶

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.¶

151110 Introducing Project 2

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

13 - 14 Tutorial on thesis project, Vilius, in studio

14 - 16.30 Pinup in studio. Boards will be available from 12.

Dear all, we decided to try the pinup in the studio space after all. We start at 13.00, and we will bring additional screens in just before lunch. Make sure to print all your material well in time before we start (if you have not yet used the new printer system, make sure to test it already today.

We should also make sure that we have moved our tables acccording to the conversation this Monday.

See you all tomorrow.

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

150922 First Computational Design Session

Hi!

Tomorrow's session will be held in the Computer Lab, room A111 at 9:00.

We would remind you to get the sofwares installed and bring your laptops. Please be on time in order to follow the progress, since we will start the discussions from scratch.

See you tomorrow.

150918 First pinup - REVISED

Revision - schedule today as follows:

13 - 14 Tutorial on thesis project, Vilius, in studio

14 - 16.30 Pinup in studio. Boards will be available from 12.

Dear all, we decided to try the pinup in the studio space after all. We start at 13.00, and we will bring additional screens in just before lunch. Make sure to print all your material well in time before we start (if you have not yet used the new printer system, make sure to test it already today.

We should also make sure that we have moved our tables acccording to the conversation this Monday.

See you all tomorrow.

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160221 Computational Design Session 10¶

Dear all,¶

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:¶

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:¶

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:¶

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and either be on-time or don't bother to come.
See you!¶

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160222 Study Trip¶

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates. ¶

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here. ¶

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151010 Colour schemes

On our server space you can find the colour samples for your maps and diagrams. As said today we all should follow one colour scheme:

services/commercial - red; residential - yellow; public/greenery - green; offices - blue; culture - orange; sports - pink. More colours and shades you can find in the pdf linked below.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

Revision - schedule today as follows:

13 - 14 Tutorial on thesis project, Vilius, in studio

14 - 16.30 Pinup in studio. Boards will be available from 12.

Dear all, we decided to try the pinup in the studio space after all. We start at 13.00, and we will bring additional screens in just before lunch. Make sure to print all your material well in time before we start (if you have not yet used the new printer system, make sure to test it already today.

We should also make sure that we have moved our tables acccording to the conversation this Monday.

See you all tomorrow.

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160301 Computational Design Session 11¶

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)¶

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:¶

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.¶

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

160212 SmartGeometry Deadline extended to February 19th

151211 Emptying the trash from the router, and limited time to run.Dear all, the workshop has alerted us that the routines for emptying the trash in the basement does not work. You need to empty the containters downstairs after each session. Until this is working proporly, the workshop has banned use of the router beyond office hours (9 - 16.15). There is a card to borrow for access to the basement, please ask Ulf or Felipé for further information.

151214 Monday - last tutorial dayFirst a clarification to all students - we scheduled the final tutorial to Monday 14th rather than Tuesday 15th to give you more time to include the last feedback for the finals. We do have a full day of tutorials on Monday 14th - the schedule will be posted soon.

To all 5th-year students - please send an updated booklet by email no later than Thursday 10th 17.00 (preferably sooner). We will also schedule our final thesis booklet feedback session for Monday 14th - hopefully only minor details at this stage. You should submit the final version Friday 18th, at 15.00. If needed you may be asked to do complementary writing over the holidays for a final submission early January - but try to avoid this! Ps, for those of you who already sent it - feedback will be given according to above.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151010 Colour schemes

On our server space you can find the colour samples for your maps and diagrams. As said today we all should follow one colour scheme:

services/commercial - red; residential - yellow; public/greenery - green; offices - blue; culture - orange; sports - pink. More colours and shades you can find in the pdf linked below.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

150922 First Computational Design Session

Hi!

Tomorrow's session will be held in the Computer Lab, room A111 at 9:00.

We would remind you to get the sofwares installed and bring your laptops. Please be on time in order to follow the progress, since we will start the discussions from scratch.

See you tomorrow.

150918 First pinup - REVISED

Revision - schedule today as follows:

13 - 14 Tutorial on thesis project, Vilius, in studio

14 - 16.30 Pinup in studio. Boards will be available from 12.

Dear all, we decided to try the pinup in the studio space after all. We start at 13.00, and we will bring additional screens in just before lunch. Make sure to print all your material well in time before we start (if you have not yet used the new printer system, make sure to test it already today.

We should also make sure that we have moved our tables acccording to the conversation this Monday.

See you all tomorrow.

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151010 Colour schemes

On our server space you can find the colour samples for your maps and diagrams. As said today we all should follow one colour scheme:

services/commercial - red; residential - yellow; public/greenery - green; offices - blue; culture - orange; sports - pink. More colours and shades you can find in the pdf linked below.

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

150922 First Computational Design Session

Hi!

Tomorrow's session will be held in the Computer Lab, room A111 at 9:00.

We would remind you to get the sofwares installed and bring your laptops. Please be on time in order to follow the progress, since we will start the discussions from scratch.

See you tomorrow.

150918 First pinup - REVISED

Revision - schedule today as follows:

13 - 14 Tutorial on thesis project, Vilius, in studio

14 - 16.30 Pinup in studio. Boards will be available from 12.

Dear all, we decided to try the pinup in the studio space after all. We start at 13.00, and we will bring additional screens in just before lunch. Make sure to print all your material well in time before we start (if you have not yet used the new printer system, make sure to test it already today.

We should also make sure that we have moved our tables acccording to the conversation this Monday.

See you all tomorrow.

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

151211 Emptying the trash from the router, and limited time to run.Dear all, the workshop has alerted us that the routines for emptying the trash in the basement does not work. You need to empty the containters downstairs after each session. Until this is working proporly, the workshop has banned use of the router beyond office hours (9 - 16.15). There is a card to borrow for access to the basement, please ask Ulf or Felipé for further information.

151214 Monday - last tutorial dayFirst a clarification to all students - we scheduled the final tutorial to Monday 14th rather than Tuesday 15th to give you more time to include the last feedback for the finals. We do have a full day of tutorials on Monday 14th - the schedule will be posted soon.

To all 5th-year students - please send an updated booklet by email no later than Thursday 10th 17.00 (preferably sooner). We will also schedule our final thesis booklet feedback session for Monday 14th - hopefully only minor details at this stage. You should submit the final version Friday 18th, at 15.00. If needed you may be asked to do complementary writing over the holidays for a final submission early January - but try to avoid this! Ps, for those of you who already sent it - feedback will be given according to above.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

Dear all, we decided to try the pinup in the studio space after all. We start at 13.00, and we will bring additional screens in just before lunch. Make sure to print all your material well in time before we start (if you have not yet used the new printer system, make sure to test it already today.

We should also make sure that we have moved our tables acccording to the conversation this Monday.

See you all tomorrow.

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160314-16 London Study Trip¶

The program is now available online on the Study Trips page.¶

160311 Final Review Project 3

The Final review will take place in A124 on the first floor. The room will be open from 9.00 for you to hang your presentations. We will start at 9.30 and follow the schedule below:

9.30 Munkbrohamnen - Sara Tuija

10.45 Riddarholmen - Daniela Haider Xinga

11.00 Norr Mälarstrand - Bartosz, Matteo, Adam

lunch break

13.00 Lidingö - Petros Agnieszka

13.45 Hornsberg - Hua Jiaao Nicodemus

We will have invited guests for the final review.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

151211 Emptying the trash from the router, and limited time to run.Dear all, the workshop has alerted us that the routines for emptying the trash in the basement does not work. You need to empty the containters downstairs after each session. Until this is working proporly, the workshop has banned use of the router beyond office hours (9 - 16.15). There is a card to borrow for access to the basement, please ask Ulf or Felipé for further information.

151214 Monday - last tutorial dayFirst a clarification to all students - we scheduled the final tutorial to Monday 14th rather than Tuesday 15th to give you more time to include the last feedback for the finals. We do have a full day of tutorials on Monday 14th - the schedule will be posted soon.

To all 5th-year students - please send an updated booklet by email no later than Thursday 10th 17.00 (preferably sooner). We will also schedule our final thesis booklet feedback session for Monday 14th - hopefully only minor details at this stage. You should submit the final version Friday 18th, at 15.00. If needed you may be asked to do complementary writing over the holidays for a final submission early January - but try to avoid this! Ps, for those of you who already sent it - feedback will be given according to above.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151010 Colour schemes

On our server space you can find the colour samples for your maps and diagrams. As said today we all should follow one colour scheme:

services/commercial - red; residential - yellow; public/greenery - green; offices - blue; culture - orange; sports - pink. More colours and shades you can find in the pdf linked below.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

Revision - schedule today as follows:

13 - 14 Tutorial on thesis project, Vilius, in studio

14 - 16.30 Pinup in studio. Boards will be available from 12.

Dear all, we decided to try the pinup in the studio space after all. We start at 13.00, and we will bring additional screens in just before lunch. Make sure to print all your material well in time before we start (if you have not yet used the new printer system, make sure to test it already today.

We should also make sure that we have moved our tables acccording to the conversation this Monday.

See you all tomorrow.

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160314-16 London Study Trip

The program is now available online on the Study Trips page.

160311 Final Review Project 3

The Final review will take place in A124 on the first floor. The room will be open from 9.00 for you to hang your presentations. We will start at 9.30 and follow the schedule below:

9.30 Munkbrohamnen - Sara Tuija

10.45 Riddarholmen - Daniela Haider Xinga

11.00 Norr Mälarstrand - Bartosz, Matteo, Adam

lunch break

13.00 Lidingö - Petros Agnieszka

13.45 Hornsberg - Hua Jiaao Nicodemus

We will have invited guests for the final review.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

160212 SmartGeometry Deadline extended to February 19th

151211 Emptying the trash from the router, and limited time to run.Dear all, the workshop has alerted us that the routines for emptying the trash in the basement does not work. You need to empty the containters downstairs after each session. Until this is working proporly, the workshop has banned use of the router beyond office hours (9 - 16.15). There is a card to borrow for access to the basement, please ask Ulf or Felipé for further information.

151214 Monday - last tutorial dayFirst a clarification to all students - we scheduled the final tutorial to Monday 14th rather than Tuesday 15th to give you more time to include the last feedback for the finals. We do have a full day of tutorials on Monday 14th - the schedule will be posted soon.

To all 5th-year students - please send an updated booklet by email no later than Thursday 10th 17.00 (preferably sooner). We will also schedule our final thesis booklet feedback session for Monday 14th - hopefully only minor details at this stage. You should submit the final version Friday 18th, at 15.00. If needed you may be asked to do complementary writing over the holidays for a final submission early January - but try to avoid this! Ps, for those of you who already sent it - feedback will be given according to above.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151010 Colour schemes

On our server space you can find the colour samples for your maps and diagrams. As said today we all should follow one colour scheme:

services/commercial - red; residential - yellow; public/greenery - green; offices - blue; culture - orange; sports - pink. More colours and shades you can find in the pdf linked below.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

Revision - schedule today as follows:

13 - 14 Tutorial on thesis project, Vilius, in studio

14 - 16.30 Pinup in studio. Boards will be available from 12.

Dear all, we decided to try the pinup in the studio space after all. We start at 13.00, and we will bring additional screens in just before lunch. Make sure to print all your material well in time before we start (if you have not yet used the new printer system, make sure to test it already today.

We should also make sure that we have moved our tables acccording to the conversation this Monday.

See you all tomorrow.

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160314 To read for 4th years not on the London tripFor those of you not attending the London trip, we ask you to read, and on Thursday present your view on, two texts. The texts can be seen as a preliminary start-up for Project 4 – for Full Scale and Design Project respectively. The texts should be read by everyone, but we ask you who do not take part in the trip, to give a first introduction to your fellow students. For the Full Scale students the text poses a number of issues that one is facing in doing a design and build project of small size – based on the experience of a particular pavilion developed at the Architectural Association. For the Design Project students, the text introduces a particular design approach and line of exploration defined in the 1960, but very important for projects that deal with movement and experience especially from the 1990s until today. We will ask all of the Design Project students to interpret and apply this approach in your individual design development.¶

For students planning to do the Full Scale project: Nine Problems in the Form of a Pavilion, Edited by Alan Dempsey and Yusuke Obuchi, AA Agendas No. 8, 2010, ExcerptsThis publication from the Architectural Association uses the DRL-pavilion, designed and constructed for the 10-year anniversary of Design Research Laboratory (DRL) Master’s program at the AA. It poses nine different problems, or relevant issues, that could be part of any design-build endeavor employing digital design approaches. We find the text interesting not in its presentation of this particular pavilion, but rather as an account from a team that have gone through the complete process of conceptualizing, designing and building of a structure not unlike the one we will do this spring. You are asked to read and reflect on the nine problems, or aspects, of this kind of work, and present this to your fellow students.¶

For students planning to do the Design Project:The Function of the Oblique – the architecture of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio 1962 – 1962, AA Documents 3, ExcerptsThe function of the oblique was introduced by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent as part of their practice Architecture Principe in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a first formation of ideas that have influenced generations of architects, but it is a source that is rarely referenced. At the core, it is based on the idea that the inclined plane – the ramp, or sloping floor, has a particular effect on people. We will ask all Design Project students to work based on this notion, and later also relate it to projection – as a central theme for cinematic technology as well as experience. This first reading should lead to a basic understanding of the notion of the oblique, and a presentation of your reflections on the approach (the book also features samples of concrete structures based on Virilio’s love for concrete bunkers – this is not central to the idea of the oblique).¶

We will soon get back on the schedule for the coming Thursday, but please be ready for presenting the texts at some point in the afternoon. The texts are avaiable on our server at this location.¶

9.30 Munkbrohamnen - Sara Tuija

10.45 Riddarholmen - Daniela Haider Xinga

11.00 Norr Mälarstrand - Bartosz, Matteo, Adam

lunch break

13.45 Hornsberg - Hua Jiaao Nicodemus

We will have invited guests for the final review.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

160212 SmartGeometry Deadline extended to February 19th

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151010 Colour schemes

On our server space you can find the colour samples for your maps and diagrams. As said today we all should follow one colour scheme:

services/commercial - red; residential - yellow; public/greenery - green; offices - blue; culture - orange; sports - pink. More colours and shades you can find in the pdf linked below.

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160317 Introduction Project 4, presentation of textsDear all, today we'll meet at 15.00 in A434 for introduction to Project 4. Those students who didn't join us for the study trip will also present the 2 texts. ¶

See you soon. ¶

160314 To read for 4th years not on the London tripFor those of you not attending the London trip, we ask you to read, and on Thursday present your view on, two texts. The texts can be seen as a preliminary start-up for Project 4 – for Full Scale and Design Project respectively. The texts should be read by everyone, but we ask you who do not take part in the trip, to give a first introduction to your fellow students. For the Full Scale students the text poses a number of issues that one is facing in doing a design and build project of small size – based on the experience of a particular pavilion developed at the Architectural Association. For the Design Project students, the text introduces a particular design approach and line of exploration defined in the 1960, but very important for projects that deal with movement and experience especially from the 1990s until today. We will ask all of the Design Project students to interpret and apply this approach in your individual design development.

For students planning to do the Full Scale project: Nine Problems in the Form of a Pavilion, Edited by Alan Dempsey and Yusuke Obuchi, AA Agendas No. 8, 2010, ExcerptsThis publication from the Architectural Association uses the DRL-pavilion, designed and constructed for the 10-year anniversary of Design Research Laboratory (DRL) Master’s program at the AA. It poses nine different problems, or relevant issues, that could be part of any design-build endeavor employing digital design approaches. We find the text interesting not in its presentation of this particular pavilion, but rather as an account from a team that have gone through the complete process of conceptualizing, designing and building of a structure not unlike the one we will do this spring. You are asked to read and reflect on the nine problems, or aspects, of this kind of work, and present this to your fellow students.

For students planning to do the Design Project:The Function of the Oblique – the architecture of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio 1962 – 1962, AA Documents 3, ExcerptsThe function of the oblique was introduced by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent as part of their practice Architecture Principe in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a first formation of ideas that have influenced generations of architects, but it is a source that is rarely referenced. At the core, it is based on the idea that the inclined plane – the ramp, or sloping floor, has a particular effect on people. We will ask all Design Project students to work based on this notion, and later also relate it to projection – as a central theme for cinematic technology as well as experience. This first reading should lead to a basic understanding of the notion of the oblique, and a presentation of your reflections on the approach (the book also features samples of concrete structures based on Virilio’s love for concrete bunkers – this is not central to the idea of the oblique).

We will soon get back on the schedule for the coming Thursday, but please be ready for presenting the texts at some point in the afternoon. The texts are avaiable on our server at this location.

For the rest: see you on Monday morning in London!

160314-16 London Study Trip

The program is now available online on the Study Trips page.

160311 Final Review Project 3

The Final review will take place in A124 on the first floor. The room will be open from 9.00 for you to hang your presentations. We will start at 9.30 and follow the schedule below:

9.30 Munkbrohamnen - Sara Tuija

10.45 Riddarholmen - Daniela Haider Xinga

11.00 Norr Mälarstrand - Bartosz, Matteo, Adam

lunch break

13.00 Lidingö - Petros Agnieszka

13.45 Hornsberg - Hua Jiaao Nicodemus

We will have invited guests for the final review.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160314 To read for 4th years not on the London tripFor those of you not attending the London trip, we ask you to read, and on Thursday present your view on, two texts. The texts can be seen as a preliminary start-up for Project 4 – for Full Scale and Design Project respectively. The texts should be read by everyone, but we ask you who do not take part in the trip, to give a first introduction to your fellow students. For the Full Scale students the text poses a number of issues that one is facing in doing a design and build project of small size – based on the experience of a particular pavilion developed at the Architectural Association. For the Design Project students, the text introduces a particular design approach and line of exploration defined in the 1960, but very important for projects that deal with movement and experience especially from the 1990s until today. We will ask all of the Design Project students to interpret and apply this approach in your individual design development.

For students planning to do the Full Scale project: Nine Problems in the Form of a Pavilion, Edited by Alan Dempsey and Yusuke Obuchi, AA Agendas No. 8, 2010, ExcerptsThis publication from the Architectural Association uses the DRL-pavilion, designed and constructed for the 10-year anniversary of Design Research Laboratory (DRL) Master’s program at the AA. It poses nine different problems, or relevant issues, that could be part of any design-build endeavor employing digital design approaches. We find the text interesting not in its presentation of this particular pavilion, but rather as an account from a team that have gone through the complete process of conceptualizing, designing and building of a structure not unlike the one we will do this spring. You are asked to read and reflect on the nine problems, or aspects, of this kind of work, and present this to your fellow students.

For students planning to do the Design Project:The Function of the Oblique – the architecture of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio 1962 – 1962, AA Documents 3, ExcerptsThe function of the oblique was introduced by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent as part of their practice Architecture Principe in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a first formation of ideas that have influenced generations of architects, but it is a source that is rarely referenced. At the core, it is based on the idea that the inclined plane – the ramp, or sloping floor, has a particular effect on people. We will ask all Design Project students to work based on this notion, and later also relate it to projection – as a central theme for cinematic technology as well as experience. This first reading should lead to a basic understanding of the notion of the oblique, and a presentation of your reflections on the approach (the book also features samples of concrete structures based on Virilio’s love for concrete bunkers – this is not central to the idea of the oblique).

We will soon get back on the schedule for the coming Thursday, but please be ready for presenting the texts at some point in the afternoon. The texts are avaiable on our server at this location.

160311 Final Review Project 3

Dear all,

Thank you for today!

Please upload all your final review files to the server, today. Attach your model photos and your complete design portfolio. Keep it all in one pdf or zip the files, then it's much easier for us to download.

Those of you who won't join us on the trip should meet Julien on Tuesdaty at 14.00.

For the rest: see you on Monday morning in London!

160314-16 London Study Trip

The program is now available online on the Study Trips page.

160311 Final Review Project 3

The Final review will take place in A124 on the first floor. The room will be open from 9.00 for you to hang your presentations. We will start at 9.30 and follow the schedule below:

9.30 Munkbrohamnen - Sara Tuija

10.45 Riddarholmen - Daniela Haider Xinga

11.00 Norr Mälarstrand - Bartosz, Matteo, Adam

lunch break

13.00 Lidingö - Petros Agnieszka

13.45 Hornsberg - Hua Jiaao Nicodemus

We will have invited guests for the final review.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151010 Colour schemes

On our server space you can find the colour samples for your maps and diagrams. As said today we all should follow one colour scheme:

services/commercial - red; residential - yellow; public/greenery - green; offices - blue; culture - orange; sports - pink. More colours and shades you can find in the pdf linked below.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

Revision - schedule today as follows:

13 - 14 Tutorial on thesis project, Vilius, in studio

14 - 16.30 Pinup in studio. Boards will be available from 12.

Dear all, we decided to try the pinup in the studio space after all. We start at 13.00, and we will bring additional screens in just before lunch. Make sure to print all your material well in time before we start (if you have not yet used the new printer system, make sure to test it already today.

We should also make sure that we have moved our tables acccording to the conversation this Monday.

See you all tomorrow.

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160317 Introduction Project 4, choose Full-Scale or Design Project, brief available online

Dear all,

for those of you who missed the presentation today, the brief is available at link below. From now until Tuesday 29th, you should do an individual assignment, based on if you plan to do the Full Scale or the Design Project for project 2. This has to be conducted individually, and with no tutorials - see details in the brief. We also want you to sign up below for either Full-Scale, or Design Project.¶

We need this asap, in order to b eable to set the final schedule for Project 4.¶Please fill in form below! The new brief is available here.

Sign up for what project you want to do for Project 4 below, which also decides what phase 1 assignment you do.

Full Scale Design Project Ádám Tuija Haider Petros Xinga Student X Student X Student X Student X Student X Student X Student X Student X Student X Student X Student X Student X Student X 160317 Introduction Project 4, presentation of textsDear all, today we'll meet at 15.00 in A434 for introduction to Project 4. Those students who didn't join us for the study trip will also present the 2 texts.

See you soon.

160314 To read for 4th years not on the London tripFor those of you not attending the London trip, we ask you to read, and on Thursday present your view on, two texts. The texts can be seen as a preliminary start-up for Project 4 – for Full Scale and Design Project respectively. The texts should be read by everyone, but we ask you who do not take part in the trip, to give a first introduction to your fellow students. For the Full Scale students the text poses a number of issues that one is facing in doing a design and build project of small size – based on the experience of a particular pavilion developed at the Architectural Association. For the Design Project students, the text introduces a particular design approach and line of exploration defined in the 1960, but very important for projects that deal with movement and experience especially from the 1990s until today. We will ask all of the Design Project students to interpret and apply this approach in your individual design development.

For students planning to do the Full Scale project: Nine Problems in the Form of a Pavilion, Edited by Alan Dempsey and Yusuke Obuchi, AA Agendas No. 8, 2010, ExcerptsThis publication from the Architectural Association uses the DRL-pavilion, designed and constructed for the 10-year anniversary of Design Research Laboratory (DRL) Master’s program at the AA. It poses nine different problems, or relevant issues, that could be part of any design-build endeavor employing digital design approaches. We find the text interesting not in its presentation of this particular pavilion, but rather as an account from a team that have gone through the complete process of conceptualizing, designing and building of a structure not unlike the one we will do this spring. You are asked to read and reflect on the nine problems, or aspects, of this kind of work, and present this to your fellow students.

For students planning to do the Design Project:The Function of the Oblique – the architecture of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio 1962 – 1962, AA Documents 3, ExcerptsThe function of the oblique was introduced by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent as part of their practice Architecture Principe in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a first formation of ideas that have influenced generations of architects, but it is a source that is rarely referenced. At the core, it is based on the idea that the inclined plane – the ramp, or sloping floor, has a particular effect on people. We will ask all Design Project students to work based on this notion, and later also relate it to projection – as a central theme for cinematic technology as well as experience. This first reading should lead to a basic understanding of the notion of the oblique, and a presentation of your reflections on the approach (the book also features samples of concrete structures based on Virilio’s love for concrete bunkers – this is not central to the idea of the oblique).

We will soon get back on the schedule for the coming Thursday, but please be ready for presenting the texts at some point in the afternoon. The texts are avaiable on our server at this location.

160311 Final Review Project 3

Dear all,

Thank you for today!

Please upload all your final review files to the server, today. Attach your model photos and your complete design portfolio. Keep it all in one pdf or zip the files, then it's much easier for us to download.

Those of you who won't join us on the trip should meet Julien on Tuesdaty at 14.00.

For the rest: see you on Monday morning in London!

160314-16 London Study Trip

The program is now available online on the Study Trips page.

160311 Final Review Project 3

The Final review will take place in A124 on the first floor. The room will be open from 9.00 for you to hang your presentations. We will start at 9.30 and follow the schedule below:

9.30 Munkbrohamnen - Sara Tuija

10.45 Riddarholmen - Daniela Haider Xinga

11.00 Norr Mälarstrand - Bartosz, Matteo, Adam

lunch break

13.00 Lidingö - Petros Agnieszka

13.45 Hornsberg - Hua Jiaao Nicodemus

We will have invited guests for the final review.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

160212 SmartGeometry Deadline extended to February 19th

You need to empty the containters downstairs after each session. Until this is working proporly, the workshop has banned use of the router beyond office hours (9 - 16.15). There is a card to borrow for access to the basement, please ask Ulf or Felipé for further information.

151214 Monday - last tutorial dayFirst a clarification to all students - we scheduled the final tutorial to Monday 14th rather than Tuesday 15th to give you more time to include the last feedback for the finals. We do have a full day of tutorials on Monday 14th - the schedule will be posted soon.

To all 5th-year students - please send an updated booklet by email no later than Thursday 10th 17.00 (preferably sooner). We will also schedule our final thesis booklet feedback session for Monday 14th - hopefully only minor details at this stage. You should submit the final version Friday 18th, at 15.00. If needed you may be asked to do complementary writing over the holidays for a final submission early January - but try to avoid this! Ps, for those of you who already sent it - feedback will be given according to above.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151010 Colour schemes

On our server space you can find the colour samples for your maps and diagrams. As said today we all should follow one colour scheme:

services/commercial - red; residential - yellow; public/greenery - green; offices - blue; culture - orange; sports - pink. More colours and shades you can find in the pdf linked below.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

Revision - schedule today as follows:

13 - 14 Tutorial on thesis project, Vilius, in studio

14 - 16.30 Pinup in studio. Boards will be available from 12.

Dear all, we decided to try the pinup in the studio space after all. We start at 13.00, and we will bring additional screens in just before lunch. Make sure to print all your material well in time before we start (if you have not yet used the new printer system, make sure to test it already today.

We should also make sure that we have moved our tables acccording to the conversation this Monday.

See you all tomorrow.

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160329 Submission of presentations today (Project 4, Phase 1), and brief Phase 2¶

Dear all, thank you for good presentations and conversations this morning. Please submit your presentations from today (or photographs of models for Design Project) on the server at this location.¶

The brief for Project 4, Phase 2, is available here.¶

160317 Introduction Project 4, choose Full-Scale or Design Project, brief available online

Dear all,

for those of you who missed the presentation today, the brief is available at link below. From now until Tuesday 29th, you should do an individual assignment, based on if you plan to do the Full Scale or the Design Project for project 2. This has to be conducted individually, and with no tutorials - see details in the brief. We also want you to sign up below for either Full-Scale, or Design Project.

We need this asap, in order to b eable to set the final schedule for Project 4.Please fill in form below! The new brief is available here.

Sign up for what project you want to do for Project 4 below, which also decides what phase 1 assignment you do.

Full Scale Design Project Ádám Tuija Haider Petros Xinga Sara Yunsi Hua Agnieszka Jiaao liu Nicodemus Matteo Student X Bartosz Student X Daniela Student X Student X Student X 160317 Introduction Project 4, presentation of textsDear all, today we'll meet at 15.00 in A434 for introduction to Project 4. Those students who didn't join us for the study trip will also present the 2 texts.

See you soon.

160314 To read for 4th years not on the London tripFor those of you not attending the London trip, we ask you to read, and on Thursday present your view on, two texts. The texts can be seen as a preliminary start-up for Project 4 – for Full Scale and Design Project respectively. The texts should be read by everyone, but we ask you who do not take part in the trip, to give a first introduction to your fellow students. For the Full Scale students the text poses a number of issues that one is facing in doing a design and build project of small size – based on the experience of a particular pavilion developed at the Architectural Association. For the Design Project students, the text introduces a particular design approach and line of exploration defined in the 1960, but very important for projects that deal with movement and experience especially from the 1990s until today. We will ask all of the Design Project students to interpret and apply this approach in your individual design development.

For students planning to do the Full Scale project: Nine Problems in the Form of a Pavilion, Edited by Alan Dempsey and Yusuke Obuchi, AA Agendas No. 8, 2010, ExcerptsThis publication from the Architectural Association uses the DRL-pavilion, designed and constructed for the 10-year anniversary of Design Research Laboratory (DRL) Master’s program at the AA. It poses nine different problems, or relevant issues, that could be part of any design-build endeavor employing digital design approaches. We find the text interesting not in its presentation of this particular pavilion, but rather as an account from a team that have gone through the complete process of conceptualizing, designing and building of a structure not unlike the one we will do this spring. You are asked to read and reflect on the nine problems, or aspects, of this kind of work, and present this to your fellow students.

For students planning to do the Design Project:The Function of the Oblique – the architecture of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio 1962 – 1962, AA Documents 3, ExcerptsThe function of the oblique was introduced by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent as part of their practice Architecture Principe in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a first formation of ideas that have influenced generations of architects, but it is a source that is rarely referenced. At the core, it is based on the idea that the inclined plane – the ramp, or sloping floor, has a particular effect on people. We will ask all Design Project students to work based on this notion, and later also relate it to projection – as a central theme for cinematic technology as well as experience. This first reading should lead to a basic understanding of the notion of the oblique, and a presentation of your reflections on the approach (the book also features samples of concrete structures based on Virilio’s love for concrete bunkers – this is not central to the idea of the oblique).

We will soon get back on the schedule for the coming Thursday, but please be ready for presenting the texts at some point in the afternoon. The texts are avaiable on our server at this location.

160311 Final Review Project 3

Dear all,

Thank you for today!

Please upload all your final review files to the server, today. Attach your model photos and your complete design portfolio. Keep it all in one pdf or zip the files, then it's much easier for us to download.

Those of you who won't join us on the trip should meet Julien on Tuesdaty at 14.00.

For the rest: see you on Monday morning in London!

160314-16 London Study Trip

The program is now available online on the Study Trips page.

160311 Final Review Project 3

The Final review will take place in A124 on the first floor. The room will be open from 9.00 for you to hang your presentations. We will start at 9.30 and follow the schedule below:

9.30 Munkbrohamnen - Sara Tuija

10.45 Riddarholmen - Daniela Haider Xinga

11.00 Norr Mälarstrand - Bartosz, Matteo, Adam

lunch break

13.00 Lidingö - Petros Agnieszka

13.45 Hornsberg - Hua Jiaao Nicodemus

We will have invited guests for the final review.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

160212 SmartGeometry Deadline extended to February 19th

151211 Emptying the trash from the router, and limited time to run.Dear all, the workshop has alerted us that the routines for emptying the trash in the basement does not work. You need to empty the containters downstairs after each session. Until this is working proporly, the workshop has banned use of the router beyond office hours (9 - 16.15). There is a card to borrow for access to the basement, please ask Ulf or Felipé for further information.

151214 Monday - last tutorial dayFirst a clarification to all students - we scheduled the final tutorial to Monday 14th rather than Tuesday 15th to give you more time to include the last feedback for the finals. We do have a full day of tutorials on Monday 14th - the schedule will be posted soon.

To all 5th-year students - please send an updated booklet by email no later than Thursday 10th 17.00 (preferably sooner). We will also schedule our final thesis booklet feedback session for Monday 14th - hopefully only minor details at this stage. You should submit the final version Friday 18th, at 15.00. If needed you may be asked to do complementary writing over the holidays for a final submission early January - but try to avoid this! Ps, for those of you who already sent it - feedback will be given according to above.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151010 Colour schemes

On our server space you can find the colour samples for your maps and diagrams. As said today we all should follow one colour scheme:

services/commercial - red; residential - yellow; public/greenery - green; offices - blue; culture - orange; sports - pink. More colours and shades you can find in the pdf linked below.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160329 Submission of presentations today (Project 4, Phase 1), and brief Phase 2

Dear all, thank you for good presentations and conversations this morning. Please submit your presentations from today (or photographs of models for Design Project) on the server at this location.

The brief for Project 4, Phase 2, is available here.

160317 Introduction Project 4, choose Full-Scale or Design Project, brief available online

Dear all,

for those of you who missed the presentation today, the brief is available at link below. From now until Tuesday 29th, you should do an individual assignment, based on if you plan to do the Full Scale or the Design Project for project 2. This has to be conducted individually, and with no tutorials - see details in the brief. We also want you to sign up below for either Full-Scale, or Design Project.

We need this asap, in order to b eable to set the final schedule for Project 4.Please fill in form below! The new brief is available here.

Sign up for what project you want to do for Project 4 below, which also decides what phase 1 assignment you do.

Full Scale Design Project Ádám Tuija Haider Petros Xinga Sara Yunsi Hua Agnieszka Jiaao liu Nicodemus Matteo Student X Bartosz Student X Daniela Student X Student X Student X 160317 Introduction Project 4, presentation of textsDear all, today we'll meet at 15.00 in A434 for introduction to Project 4. Those students who didn't join us for the study trip will also present the 2 texts.

See you soon.

160314 To read for 4th years not on the London tripFor those of you not attending the London trip, we ask you to read, and on Thursday present your view on, two texts. The texts can be seen as a preliminary start-up for Project 4 – for Full Scale and Design Project respectively. The texts should be read by everyone, but we ask you who do not take part in the trip, to give a first introduction to your fellow students. For the Full Scale students the text poses a number of issues that one is facing in doing a design and build project of small size – based on the experience of a particular pavilion developed at the Architectural Association. For the Design Project students, the text introduces a particular design approach and line of exploration defined in the 1960, but very important for projects that deal with movement and experience especially from the 1990s until today. We will ask all of the Design Project students to interpret and apply this approach in your individual design development.

For students planning to do the Full Scale project: Nine Problems in the Form of a Pavilion, Edited by Alan Dempsey and Yusuke Obuchi, AA Agendas No. 8, 2010, ExcerptsThis publication from the Architectural Association uses the DRL-pavilion, designed and constructed for the 10-year anniversary of Design Research Laboratory (DRL) Master’s program at the AA. It poses nine different problems, or relevant issues, that could be part of any design-build endeavor employing digital design approaches. We find the text interesting not in its presentation of this particular pavilion, but rather as an account from a team that have gone through the complete process of conceptualizing, designing and building of a structure not unlike the one we will do this spring. You are asked to read and reflect on the nine problems, or aspects, of this kind of work, and present this to your fellow students.

For students planning to do the Design Project:The Function of the Oblique – the architecture of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio 1962 – 1962, AA Documents 3, ExcerptsThe function of the oblique was introduced by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent as part of their practice Architecture Principe in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a first formation of ideas that have influenced generations of architects, but it is a source that is rarely referenced. At the core, it is based on the idea that the inclined plane – the ramp, or sloping floor, has a particular effect on people. We will ask all Design Project students to work based on this notion, and later also relate it to projection – as a central theme for cinematic technology as well as experience. This first reading should lead to a basic understanding of the notion of the oblique, and a presentation of your reflections on the approach (the book also features samples of concrete structures based on Virilio’s love for concrete bunkers – this is not central to the idea of the oblique).

We will soon get back on the schedule for the coming Thursday, but please be ready for presenting the texts at some point in the afternoon. The texts are avaiable on our server at this location.

160311 Final Review Project 3

Dear all,

Thank you for today!

Please upload all your final review files to the server, today. Attach your model photos and your complete design portfolio. Keep it all in one pdf or zip the files, then it's much easier for us to download.

Those of you who won't join us on the trip should meet Julien on Tuesdaty at 14.00.

For the rest: see you on Monday morning in London!

160314-16 London Study Trip

The program is now available online on the Study Trips page.

160311 Final Review Project 3

The Final review will take place in A124 on the first floor. The room will be open from 9.00 for you to hang your presentations. We will start at 9.30 and follow the schedule below:

9.30 Munkbrohamnen - Sara Tuija

10.45 Riddarholmen - Daniela Haider Xinga

11.00 Norr Mälarstrand - Bartosz, Matteo, Adam

lunch break

13.00 Lidingö - Petros Agnieszka

13.45 Hornsberg - Hua Jiaao Nicodemus

We will have invited guests for the final review.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

160212 SmartGeometry Deadline extended to February 19th

151211 Emptying the trash from the router, and limited time to run.Dear all, the workshop has alerted us that the routines for emptying the trash in the basement does not work. You need to empty the containters downstairs after each session. Until this is working proporly, the workshop has banned use of the router beyond office hours (9 - 16.15). There is a card to borrow for access to the basement, please ask Ulf or Felipé for further information.

151214 Monday - last tutorial dayFirst a clarification to all students - we scheduled the final tutorial to Monday 14th rather than Tuesday 15th to give you more time to include the last feedback for the finals. We do have a full day of tutorials on Monday 14th - the schedule will be posted soon.

To all 5th-year students - please send an updated booklet by email no later than Thursday 10th 17.00 (preferably sooner). We will also schedule our final thesis booklet feedback session for Monday 14th - hopefully only minor details at this stage. You should submit the final version Friday 18th, at 15.00. If needed you may be asked to do complementary writing over the holidays for a final submission early January - but try to avoid this! Ps, for those of you who already sent it - feedback will be given according to above.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

Dear all, we decided to try the pinup in the studio space after all. We start at 13.00, and we will bring additional screens in just before lunch. Make sure to print all your material well in time before we start (if you have not yet used the new printer system, make sure to test it already today.

We should also make sure that we have moved our tables acccording to the conversation this Monday.

See you all tomorrow.

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160329 Submission of presentations today (Project 4, Phase 1), and brief Phase 2

Dear all, thank you for good presentations and conversations this morning. Please submit your presentations from today (or photographs of models for Design Project) on the server at this location.

The brief for Project 4, Phase 2, is available here.

160317 Introduction Project 4, choose Full-Scale or Design Project, brief available online

Dear all,

for those of you who missed the presentation today, the brief is available at link below. From now until Tuesday 29th, you should do an individual assignment, based on if you plan to do the Full Scale or the Design Project for project 2. This has to be conducted individually, and with no tutorials - see details in the brief. We also want you to sign up below for either Full-Scale, or Design Project.

We need this asap, in order to b eable to set the final schedule for Project 4.Please fill in form below! The new brief is available here.

Sign up for what project you want to do for Project 4 below, which also decides what phase 1 assignment you do.

Full Scale Design Project Ádám Tuija Haider Petros Xinga Sara Yunsi Hua Agnieszka Jiaao liu Nicodemus Matteo Student X Bartosz Student X Daniela Student X Student X Student X 160317 Introduction Project 4, presentation of textsDear all, today we'll meet at 15.00 in A434 for introduction to Project 4. Those students who didn't join us for the study trip will also present the 2 texts.

See you soon.

160314 To read for 4th years not on the London tripFor those of you not attending the London trip, we ask you to read, and on Thursday present your view on, two texts. The texts can be seen as a preliminary start-up for Project 4 – for Full Scale and Design Project respectively. The texts should be read by everyone, but we ask you who do not take part in the trip, to give a first introduction to your fellow students. For the Full Scale students the text poses a number of issues that one is facing in doing a design and build project of small size – based on the experience of a particular pavilion developed at the Architectural Association. For the Design Project students, the text introduces a particular design approach and line of exploration defined in the 1960, but very important for projects that deal with movement and experience especially from the 1990s until today. We will ask all of the Design Project students to interpret and apply this approach in your individual design development.

For students planning to do the Full Scale project: Nine Problems in the Form of a Pavilion, Edited by Alan Dempsey and Yusuke Obuchi, AA Agendas No. 8, 2010, ExcerptsThis publication from the Architectural Association uses the DRL-pavilion, designed and constructed for the 10-year anniversary of Design Research Laboratory (DRL) Master’s program at the AA. It poses nine different problems, or relevant issues, that could be part of any design-build endeavor employing digital design approaches. We find the text interesting not in its presentation of this particular pavilion, but rather as an account from a team that have gone through the complete process of conceptualizing, designing and building of a structure not unlike the one we will do this spring. You are asked to read and reflect on the nine problems, or aspects, of this kind of work, and present this to your fellow students.

For students planning to do the Design Project:The Function of the Oblique – the architecture of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio 1962 – 1962, AA Documents 3, ExcerptsThe function of the oblique was introduced by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent as part of their practice Architecture Principe in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a first formation of ideas that have influenced generations of architects, but it is a source that is rarely referenced. At the core, it is based on the idea that the inclined plane – the ramp, or sloping floor, has a particular effect on people. We will ask all Design Project students to work based on this notion, and later also relate it to projection – as a central theme for cinematic technology as well as experience. This first reading should lead to a basic understanding of the notion of the oblique, and a presentation of your reflections on the approach (the book also features samples of concrete structures based on Virilio’s love for concrete bunkers – this is not central to the idea of the oblique).

We will soon get back on the schedule for the coming Thursday, but please be ready for presenting the texts at some point in the afternoon. The texts are avaiable on our server at this location.

160311 Final Review Project 3

Dear all,

Thank you for today!

Please upload all your final review files to the server, today. Attach your model photos and your complete design portfolio. Keep it all in one pdf or zip the files, then it's much easier for us to download.

Those of you who won't join us on the trip should meet Julien on Tuesdaty at 14.00.

For the rest: see you on Monday morning in London!

160314-16 London Study Trip

The program is now available online on the Study Trips page.

160311 Final Review Project 3

The Final review will take place in A124 on the first floor. The room will be open from 9.00 for you to hang your presentations. We will start at 9.30 and follow the schedule below:

9.30 Munkbrohamnen - Sara Tuija

10.45 Riddarholmen - Daniela Haider Xinga

11.00 Norr Mälarstrand - Bartosz, Matteo, Adam

lunch break

13.00 Lidingö - Petros Agnieszka

13.45 Hornsberg - Hua Jiaao Nicodemus

We will have invited guests for the final review.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

160212 SmartGeometry Deadline extended to February 19th

151211 Emptying the trash from the router, and limited time to run.Dear all, the workshop has alerted us that the routines for emptying the trash in the basement does not work. You need to empty the containters downstairs after each session. Until this is working proporly, the workshop has banned use of the router beyond office hours (9 - 16.15). There is a card to borrow for access to the basement, please ask Ulf or Felipé for further information.

151214 Monday - last tutorial dayFirst a clarification to all students - we scheduled the final tutorial to Monday 14th rather than Tuesday 15th to give you more time to include the last feedback for the finals. We do have a full day of tutorials on Monday 14th - the schedule will be posted soon.

To all 5th-year students - please send an updated booklet by email no later than Thursday 10th 17.00 (preferably sooner). We will also schedule our final thesis booklet feedback session for Monday 14th - hopefully only minor details at this stage. You should submit the final version Friday 18th, at 15.00. If needed you may be asked to do complementary writing over the holidays for a final submission early January - but try to avoid this! Ps, for those of you who already sent it - feedback will be given according to above.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151010 Colour schemes

On our server space you can find the colour samples for your maps and diagrams. As said today we all should follow one colour scheme:

services/commercial - red; residential - yellow; public/greenery - green; offices - blue; culture - orange; sports - pink. More colours and shades you can find in the pdf linked below.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

150922 First Computational Design Session

Hi!

Tomorrow's session will be held in the Computer Lab, room A111 at 9:00.

We would remind you to get the sofwares installed and bring your laptops. Please be on time in order to follow the progress, since we will start the discussions from scratch.

See you tomorrow.

150918 First pinup - REVISED

Revision - schedule today as follows:

13 - 14 Tutorial on thesis project, Vilius, in studio

14 - 16.30 Pinup in studio. Boards will be available from 12.

Dear all, we decided to try the pinup in the studio space after all. We start at 13.00, and we will bring additional screens in just before lunch. Make sure to print all your material well in time before we start (if you have not yet used the new printer system, make sure to test it already today.

We should also make sure that we have moved our tables acccording to the conversation this Monday.

See you all tomorrow.

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160404 Project 4 schedule online¶

Dear all, the new schedule is now uploaded to the Briefs + Schedules page. As mentioned, we are moving to a combination of morning meetings combined with a number of full tutorials days. This means that we will be present most mornings from 8.30 - 10, and some (fewer than before) Tuesdays and Thursdays we will be present for tutorials as usual. For the Full Scale team we expect to meet every morning (since you are many students in one team). Thesis students can select one slot any day of the week, and Design Project stduents can select 1 - 2 slots any day of the week. Our ambition is to post slots for tutorials once a week - We hope this becomes clear and helps you plan.¶

You will find the new schedule here.¶

160330 Free participation in SmartGeometry Conference next week

160329 Submission of presentations today (Project 4, Phase 1), and brief Phase 2

Dear all, thank you for good presentations and conversations this morning. Please submit your presentations from today (or photographs of models for Design Project) on the server at this location.

The brief for Project 4, Phase 2, is available here.

160317 Introduction Project 4, choose Full-Scale or Design Project, brief available online

Dear all,

for those of you who missed the presentation today, the brief is available at link below. From now until Tuesday 29th, you should do an individual assignment, based on if you plan to do the Full Scale or the Design Project for project 2. This has to be conducted individually, and with no tutorials - see details in the brief. We also want you to sign up below for either Full-Scale, or Design Project.

We need this asap, in order to b eable to set the final schedule for Project 4.Please fill in form below! The new brief is available here.

Sign up for what project you want to do for Project 4 below, which also decides what phase 1 assignment you do.

Full Scale Design Project Ádám Tuija Haider Petros Xinga Sara Yunsi Hua Agnieszka Jiaao liu Nicodemus Matteo Student X Bartosz Student X Daniela Student X Student X Student X 160317 Introduction Project 4, presentation of textsDear all, today we'll meet at 15.00 in A434 for introduction to Project 4. Those students who didn't join us for the study trip will also present the 2 texts.

See you soon.

160314 To read for 4th years not on the London tripFor those of you not attending the London trip, we ask you to read, and on Thursday present your view on, two texts. The texts can be seen as a preliminary start-up for Project 4 – for Full Scale and Design Project respectively. The texts should be read by everyone, but we ask you who do not take part in the trip, to give a first introduction to your fellow students. For the Full Scale students the text poses a number of issues that one is facing in doing a design and build project of small size – based on the experience of a particular pavilion developed at the Architectural Association. For the Design Project students, the text introduces a particular design approach and line of exploration defined in the 1960, but very important for projects that deal with movement and experience especially from the 1990s until today. We will ask all of the Design Project students to interpret and apply this approach in your individual design development.

For students planning to do the Full Scale project: Nine Problems in the Form of a Pavilion, Edited by Alan Dempsey and Yusuke Obuchi, AA Agendas No. 8, 2010, ExcerptsThis publication from the Architectural Association uses the DRL-pavilion, designed and constructed for the 10-year anniversary of Design Research Laboratory (DRL) Master’s program at the AA. It poses nine different problems, or relevant issues, that could be part of any design-build endeavor employing digital design approaches. We find the text interesting not in its presentation of this particular pavilion, but rather as an account from a team that have gone through the complete process of conceptualizing, designing and building of a structure not unlike the one we will do this spring. You are asked to read and reflect on the nine problems, or aspects, of this kind of work, and present this to your fellow students.

For students planning to do the Design Project:The Function of the Oblique – the architecture of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio 1962 – 1962, AA Documents 3, ExcerptsThe function of the oblique was introduced by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent as part of their practice Architecture Principe in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a first formation of ideas that have influenced generations of architects, but it is a source that is rarely referenced. At the core, it is based on the idea that the inclined plane – the ramp, or sloping floor, has a particular effect on people. We will ask all Design Project students to work based on this notion, and later also relate it to projection – as a central theme for cinematic technology as well as experience. This first reading should lead to a basic understanding of the notion of the oblique, and a presentation of your reflections on the approach (the book also features samples of concrete structures based on Virilio’s love for concrete bunkers – this is not central to the idea of the oblique).

We will soon get back on the schedule for the coming Thursday, but please be ready for presenting the texts at some point in the afternoon. The texts are avaiable on our server at this location.

160311 Final Review Project 3

Dear all,

Thank you for today!

Please upload all your final review files to the server, today. Attach your model photos and your complete design portfolio. Keep it all in one pdf or zip the files, then it's much easier for us to download.

Those of you who won't join us on the trip should meet Julien on Tuesdaty at 14.00.

For the rest: see you on Monday morning in London!

160314-16 London Study Trip

The program is now available online on the Study Trips page.

160311 Final Review Project 3

The Final review will take place in A124 on the first floor. The room will be open from 9.00 for you to hang your presentations. We will start at 9.30 and follow the schedule below:

9.30 Munkbrohamnen - Sara Tuija

10.45 Riddarholmen - Daniela Haider Xinga

11.00 Norr Mälarstrand - Bartosz, Matteo, Adam

lunch break

13.00 Lidingö - Petros Agnieszka

13.45 Hornsberg - Hua Jiaao Nicodemus

We will have invited guests for the final review.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

151211 Emptying the trash from the router, and limited time to run.Dear all, the workshop has alerted us that the routines for emptying the trash in the basement does not work. You need to empty the containters downstairs after each session. Until this is working proporly, the workshop has banned use of the router beyond office hours (9 - 16.15). There is a card to borrow for access to the basement, please ask Ulf or Felipé for further information.

151214 Monday - last tutorial dayFirst a clarification to all students - we scheduled the final tutorial to Monday 14th rather than Tuesday 15th to give you more time to include the last feedback for the finals. We do have a full day of tutorials on Monday 14th - the schedule will be posted soon.

To all 5th-year students - please send an updated booklet by email no later than Thursday 10th 17.00 (preferably sooner). We will also schedule our final thesis booklet feedback session for Monday 14th - hopefully only minor details at this stage. You should submit the final version Friday 18th, at 15.00. If needed you may be asked to do complementary writing over the holidays for a final submission early January - but try to avoid this! Ps, for those of you who already sent it - feedback will be given according to above.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151010 Colour schemes

On our server space you can find the colour samples for your maps and diagrams. As said today we all should follow one colour scheme:

services/commercial - red; residential - yellow; public/greenery - green; offices - blue; culture - orange; sports - pink. More colours and shades you can find in the pdf linked below.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

Revision - schedule today as follows:

13 - 14 Tutorial on thesis project, Vilius, in studio

14 - 16.30 Pinup in studio. Boards will be available from 12.

Dear all, we decided to try the pinup in the studio space after all. We start at 13.00, and we will bring additional screens in just before lunch. Make sure to print all your material well in time before we start (if you have not yet used the new printer system, make sure to test it already today.

We should also make sure that we have moved our tables acccording to the conversation this Monday.

See you all tomorrow.

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160404 Project 4 schedule online

Dear all, the new schedule is now uploaded to the Briefs + Schedules page. As mentioned, we are moving to a combination of morning meetings combined with a number of full tutorials days. This means that we will be present most mornings from 8.30 - 10, and some (fewer than before) Tuesdays and Thursdays we will be present for tutorials as usual. For the Full Scale team we expect to meet every morning (since you are many students in one team). Thesis students can select one slot any day of the week, and Design Project stduents can select 1 - 2 slots any day of the week. Our ambition is to post slots for tutorials once a week - We hope this becomes clear and helps you plan.

You will find the new schedule here.

160330 Free participation in SmartGeometry Conference next week

Dear all,

we have received an offer for free student participation in the SmartGeometry Conference (that follows the workshop at SmartGeometry in Gothernbirg next week). If you are interested in attendeing the two day conference, Friday + Saturday next week, please send an email to Jonas immediately.

160329 Submission of presentations today (Project 4, Phase 1), and brief Phase 2

Dear all, thank you for good presentations and conversations this morning. Please submit your presentations from today (or photographs of models for Design Project) on the server at this location.

The brief for Project 4, Phase 2, is available here.

160317 Introduction Project 4, choose Full-Scale or Design Project, brief available online

Dear all,

for those of you who missed the presentation today, the brief is available at link below. From now until Tuesday 29th, you should do an individual assignment, based on if you plan to do the Full Scale or the Design Project for project 2. This has to be conducted individually, and with no tutorials - see details in the brief. We also want you to sign up below for either Full-Scale, or Design Project.

We need this asap, in order to b eable to set the final schedule for Project 4.Please fill in form below! The new brief is available here.

Sign up for what project you want to do for Project 4 below, which also decides what phase 1 assignment you do.

Full Scale Design Project Ádám Tuija Haider Petros Xinga Sara Yunsi Hua Agnieszka Jiaao liu Nicodemus Matteo Student X Bartosz Student X Daniela Student X Student X Student X 160317 Introduction Project 4, presentation of textsDear all, today we'll meet at 15.00 in A434 for introduction to Project 4. Those students who didn't join us for the study trip will also present the 2 texts.

See you soon.

160314 To read for 4th years not on the London tripFor those of you not attending the London trip, we ask you to read, and on Thursday present your view on, two texts. The texts can be seen as a preliminary start-up for Project 4 – for Full Scale and Design Project respectively. The texts should be read by everyone, but we ask you who do not take part in the trip, to give a first introduction to your fellow students. For the Full Scale students the text poses a number of issues that one is facing in doing a design and build project of small size – based on the experience of a particular pavilion developed at the Architectural Association. For the Design Project students, the text introduces a particular design approach and line of exploration defined in the 1960, but very important for projects that deal with movement and experience especially from the 1990s until today. We will ask all of the Design Project students to interpret and apply this approach in your individual design development.

For students planning to do the Full Scale project: Nine Problems in the Form of a Pavilion, Edited by Alan Dempsey and Yusuke Obuchi, AA Agendas No. 8, 2010, ExcerptsThis publication from the Architectural Association uses the DRL-pavilion, designed and constructed for the 10-year anniversary of Design Research Laboratory (DRL) Master’s program at the AA. It poses nine different problems, or relevant issues, that could be part of any design-build endeavor employing digital design approaches. We find the text interesting not in its presentation of this particular pavilion, but rather as an account from a team that have gone through the complete process of conceptualizing, designing and building of a structure not unlike the one we will do this spring. You are asked to read and reflect on the nine problems, or aspects, of this kind of work, and present this to your fellow students.

For students planning to do the Design Project:The Function of the Oblique – the architecture of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio 1962 – 1962, AA Documents 3, ExcerptsThe function of the oblique was introduced by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent as part of their practice Architecture Principe in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a first formation of ideas that have influenced generations of architects, but it is a source that is rarely referenced. At the core, it is based on the idea that the inclined plane – the ramp, or sloping floor, has a particular effect on people. We will ask all Design Project students to work based on this notion, and later also relate it to projection – as a central theme for cinematic technology as well as experience. This first reading should lead to a basic understanding of the notion of the oblique, and a presentation of your reflections on the approach (the book also features samples of concrete structures based on Virilio’s love for concrete bunkers – this is not central to the idea of the oblique).

We will soon get back on the schedule for the coming Thursday, but please be ready for presenting the texts at some point in the afternoon. The texts are avaiable on our server at this location.

160311 Final Review Project 3

Dear all,

Thank you for today!

Please upload all your final review files to the server, today. Attach your model photos and your complete design portfolio. Keep it all in one pdf or zip the files, then it's much easier for us to download.

Those of you who won't join us on the trip should meet Julien on Tuesdaty at 14.00.

For the rest: see you on Monday morning in London!

160314-16 London Study Trip

The program is now available online on the Study Trips page.

160311 Final Review Project 3

The Final review will take place in A124 on the first floor. The room will be open from 9.00 for you to hang your presentations. We will start at 9.30 and follow the schedule below:

9.30 Munkbrohamnen - Sara Tuija

10.45 Riddarholmen - Daniela Haider Xinga

11.00 Norr Mälarstrand - Bartosz, Matteo, Adam

lunch break

13.00 Lidingö - Petros Agnieszka

13.45 Hornsberg - Hua Jiaao Nicodemus

We will have invited guests for the final review.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

160212 SmartGeometry Deadline extended to February 19th

151211 Emptying the trash from the router, and limited time to run.Dear all, the workshop has alerted us that the routines for emptying the trash in the basement does not work. You need to empty the containters downstairs after each session. Until this is working proporly, the workshop has banned use of the router beyond office hours (9 - 16.15). There is a card to borrow for access to the basement, please ask Ulf or Felipé for further information.

151214 Monday - last tutorial dayFirst a clarification to all students - we scheduled the final tutorial to Monday 14th rather than Tuesday 15th to give you more time to include the last feedback for the finals. We do have a full day of tutorials on Monday 14th - the schedule will be posted soon.

To all 5th-year students - please send an updated booklet by email no later than Thursday 10th 17.00 (preferably sooner). We will also schedule our final thesis booklet feedback session for Monday 14th - hopefully only minor details at this stage. You should submit the final version Friday 18th, at 15.00. If needed you may be asked to do complementary writing over the holidays for a final submission early January - but try to avoid this! Ps, for those of you who already sent it - feedback will be given according to above.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151010 Colour schemes

On our server space you can find the colour samples for your maps and diagrams. As said today we all should follow one colour scheme:

services/commercial - red; residential - yellow; public/greenery - green; offices - blue; culture - orange; sports - pink. More colours and shades you can find in the pdf linked below.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

Revision - schedule today as follows:

13 - 14 Tutorial on thesis project, Vilius, in studio

14 - 16.30 Pinup in studio. Boards will be available from 12.

Dear all, we decided to try the pinup in the studio space after all. We start at 13.00, and we will bring additional screens in just before lunch. Make sure to print all your material well in time before we start (if you have not yet used the new printer system, make sure to test it already today.

We should also make sure that we have moved our tables acccording to the conversation this Monday.

See you all tomorrow.

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160404 Project 4 schedule online

Dear all, the new schedule is now uploaded to the Briefs + Schedules page. As mentioned, we are moving to a combination of morning meetings combined with a number of full tutorials days. This means that we will be present most mornings from 8.30 - 10, and some (fewer than before) Tuesdays and Thursdays we will be present for tutorials as usual. For the Full Scale team we expect to meet every morning (since you are many students in one team). Thesis students can select one slot any day of the week, and Design Project stduents can select 1 - 2 slots any day of the week. Our ambition is to post slots for tutorials once a week - We hope this becomes clear and helps you plan.

You will find the new schedule here.

160330 Free participation in SmartGeometry Conference next week

Dear all,

we have received an offer for free student participation in the SmartGeometry Conference (that follows the workshop at SmartGeometry in Gothernbirg next week). If you are interested in attendeing the two day conference, Friday + Saturday next week, please send an email to Jonas immediately.

Dear all, thank you for good presentations and conversations this morning. Please submit your presentations from today (or photographs of models for Design Project) on the server at this location.

The brief for Project 4, Phase 2, is available here.

160317 Introduction Project 4, choose Full-Scale or Design Project, brief available online

Dear all,

for those of you who missed the presentation today, the brief is available at link below. From now until Tuesday 29th, you should do an individual assignment, based on if you plan to do the Full Scale or the Design Project for project 2. This has to be conducted individually, and with no tutorials - see details in the brief. We also want you to sign up below for either Full-Scale, or Design Project.

We need this asap, in order to b eable to set the final schedule for Project 4.Please fill in form below! The new brief is available here.

Sign up for what project you want to do for Project 4 below, which also decides what phase 1 assignment you do.

Full Scale Design Project Ádám Tuija Haider Petros Xinga Sara Yunsi Hua Agnieszka Jiaao liu Nicodemus Matteo Student X Bartosz Student X Daniela Student X Student X Student X 160317 Introduction Project 4, presentation of textsDear all, today we'll meet at 15.00 in A434 for introduction to Project 4. Those students who didn't join us for the study trip will also present the 2 texts.

See you soon.

160314 To read for 4th years not on the London tripFor those of you not attending the London trip, we ask you to read, and on Thursday present your view on, two texts. The texts can be seen as a preliminary start-up for Project 4 – for Full Scale and Design Project respectively. The texts should be read by everyone, but we ask you who do not take part in the trip, to give a first introduction to your fellow students. For the Full Scale students the text poses a number of issues that one is facing in doing a design and build project of small size – based on the experience of a particular pavilion developed at the Architectural Association. For the Design Project students, the text introduces a particular design approach and line of exploration defined in the 1960, but very important for projects that deal with movement and experience especially from the 1990s until today. We will ask all of the Design Project students to interpret and apply this approach in your individual design development.

For students planning to do the Full Scale project: Nine Problems in the Form of a Pavilion, Edited by Alan Dempsey and Yusuke Obuchi, AA Agendas No. 8, 2010, ExcerptsThis publication from the Architectural Association uses the DRL-pavilion, designed and constructed for the 10-year anniversary of Design Research Laboratory (DRL) Master’s program at the AA. It poses nine different problems, or relevant issues, that could be part of any design-build endeavor employing digital design approaches. We find the text interesting not in its presentation of this particular pavilion, but rather as an account from a team that have gone through the complete process of conceptualizing, designing and building of a structure not unlike the one we will do this spring. You are asked to read and reflect on the nine problems, or aspects, of this kind of work, and present this to your fellow students.

For students planning to do the Design Project:The Function of the Oblique – the architecture of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio 1962 – 1962, AA Documents 3, ExcerptsThe function of the oblique was introduced by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent as part of their practice Architecture Principe in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a first formation of ideas that have influenced generations of architects, but it is a source that is rarely referenced. At the core, it is based on the idea that the inclined plane – the ramp, or sloping floor, has a particular effect on people. We will ask all Design Project students to work based on this notion, and later also relate it to projection – as a central theme for cinematic technology as well as experience. This first reading should lead to a basic understanding of the notion of the oblique, and a presentation of your reflections on the approach (the book also features samples of concrete structures based on Virilio’s love for concrete bunkers – this is not central to the idea of the oblique).

We will soon get back on the schedule for the coming Thursday, but please be ready for presenting the texts at some point in the afternoon. The texts are avaiable on our server at this location.

160311 Final Review Project 3

Dear all,

Thank you for today!

Please upload all your final review files to the server, today. Attach your model photos and your complete design portfolio. Keep it all in one pdf or zip the files, then it's much easier for us to download.

Those of you who won't join us on the trip should meet Julien on Tuesdaty at 14.00.

For the rest: see you on Monday morning in London!

160314-16 London Study Trip

The program is now available online on the Study Trips page.

160311 Final Review Project 3

The Final review will take place in A124 on the first floor. The room will be open from 9.00 for you to hang your presentations. We will start at 9.30 and follow the schedule below:

9.30 Munkbrohamnen - Sara Tuija

10.45 Riddarholmen - Daniela Haider Xinga

11.00 Norr Mälarstrand - Bartosz, Matteo, Adam

lunch break

13.00 Lidingö - Petros Agnieszka

13.45 Hornsberg - Hua Jiaao Nicodemus

We will have invited guests for the final review.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

160212 SmartGeometry Deadline extended to February 19th

151211 Emptying the trash from the router, and limited time to run.Dear all, the workshop has alerted us that the routines for emptying the trash in the basement does not work. You need to empty the containters downstairs after each session. Until this is working proporly, the workshop has banned use of the router beyond office hours (9 - 16.15). There is a card to borrow for access to the basement, please ask Ulf or Felipé for further information.

151214 Monday - last tutorial dayFirst a clarification to all students - we scheduled the final tutorial to Monday 14th rather than Tuesday 15th to give you more time to include the last feedback for the finals. We do have a full day of tutorials on Monday 14th - the schedule will be posted soon.

To all 5th-year students - please send an updated booklet by email no later than Thursday 10th 17.00 (preferably sooner). We will also schedule our final thesis booklet feedback session for Monday 14th - hopefully only minor details at this stage. You should submit the final version Friday 18th, at 15.00. If needed you may be asked to do complementary writing over the holidays for a final submission early January - but try to avoid this! Ps, for those of you who already sent it - feedback will be given according to above.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151010 Colour schemes

On our server space you can find the colour samples for your maps and diagrams. As said today we all should follow one colour scheme:

services/commercial - red; residential - yellow; public/greenery - green; offices - blue; culture - orange; sports - pink. More colours and shades you can find in the pdf linked below.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

Revision - schedule today as follows:

13 - 14 Tutorial on thesis project, Vilius, in studio

14 - 16.30 Pinup in studio. Boards will be available from 12.

Dear all, we decided to try the pinup in the studio space after all. We start at 13.00, and we will bring additional screens in just before lunch. Make sure to print all your material well in time before we start (if you have not yet used the new printer system, make sure to test it already today.

We should also make sure that we have moved our tables acccording to the conversation this Monday.

See you all tomorrow.

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160404 Project 4 schedule online

Dear all, the new schedule is now uploaded to the Briefs + Schedules page. As mentioned, we are moving to a combination of morning meetings combined with a number of full tutorials days. This means that we will be present most mornings from 8.30 - 10, and some (fewer than before) Tuesdays and Thursdays we will be present for tutorials as usual. For the Full Scale team we expect to meet every morning (since you are many students in one team). Thesis students can select one slot any day of the week, and Design Project stduents can select 1 - 2 slots any day of the week. Our ambition is to post slots for tutorials once a week - We hope this becomes clear and helps you plan.

You will find the new schedule here.

160330 Free participation in SmartGeometry Conference next week

Dear all, thank you for good presentations and conversations this morning. Please submit your presentations from today (or photographs of models for Design Project) on the server at this location.

The brief for Project 4, Phase 2, is available here.

160317 Introduction Project 4, choose Full-Scale or Design Project, brief available online

Dear all,

for those of you who missed the presentation today, the brief is available at link below. From now until Tuesday 29th, you should do an individual assignment, based on if you plan to do the Full Scale or the Design Project for project 2. This has to be conducted individually, and with no tutorials - see details in the brief. We also want you to sign up below for either Full-Scale, or Design Project.

We need this asap, in order to b eable to set the final schedule for Project 4.Please fill in form below! The new brief is available here.

Sign up for what project you want to do for Project 4 below, which also decides what phase 1 assignment you do.

Full Scale Design Project Ádám Tuija Haider Petros Xinga Sara Yunsi Hua Agnieszka Jiaao liu Nicodemus Matteo Student X Bartosz Student X Daniela Student X Student X Student X 160317 Introduction Project 4, presentation of textsDear all, today we'll meet at 15.00 in A434 for introduction to Project 4. Those students who didn't join us for the study trip will also present the 2 texts.

See you soon.

160314 To read for 4th years not on the London tripFor those of you not attending the London trip, we ask you to read, and on Thursday present your view on, two texts. The texts can be seen as a preliminary start-up for Project 4 – for Full Scale and Design Project respectively. The texts should be read by everyone, but we ask you who do not take part in the trip, to give a first introduction to your fellow students. For the Full Scale students the text poses a number of issues that one is facing in doing a design and build project of small size – based on the experience of a particular pavilion developed at the Architectural Association. For the Design Project students, the text introduces a particular design approach and line of exploration defined in the 1960, but very important for projects that deal with movement and experience especially from the 1990s until today. We will ask all of the Design Project students to interpret and apply this approach in your individual design development.

For students planning to do the Full Scale project: Nine Problems in the Form of a Pavilion, Edited by Alan Dempsey and Yusuke Obuchi, AA Agendas No. 8, 2010, ExcerptsThis publication from the Architectural Association uses the DRL-pavilion, designed and constructed for the 10-year anniversary of Design Research Laboratory (DRL) Master’s program at the AA. It poses nine different problems, or relevant issues, that could be part of any design-build endeavor employing digital design approaches. We find the text interesting not in its presentation of this particular pavilion, but rather as an account from a team that have gone through the complete process of conceptualizing, designing and building of a structure not unlike the one we will do this spring. You are asked to read and reflect on the nine problems, or aspects, of this kind of work, and present this to your fellow students.

For students planning to do the Design Project:The Function of the Oblique – the architecture of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio 1962 – 1962, AA Documents 3, ExcerptsThe function of the oblique was introduced by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent as part of their practice Architecture Principe in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a first formation of ideas that have influenced generations of architects, but it is a source that is rarely referenced. At the core, it is based on the idea that the inclined plane – the ramp, or sloping floor, has a particular effect on people. We will ask all Design Project students to work based on this notion, and later also relate it to projection – as a central theme for cinematic technology as well as experience. This first reading should lead to a basic understanding of the notion of the oblique, and a presentation of your reflections on the approach (the book also features samples of concrete structures based on Virilio’s love for concrete bunkers – this is not central to the idea of the oblique).

We will soon get back on the schedule for the coming Thursday, but please be ready for presenting the texts at some point in the afternoon. The texts are avaiable on our server at this location.

160311 Final Review Project 3

Dear all,

Thank you for today!

Please upload all your final review files to the server, today. Attach your model photos and your complete design portfolio. Keep it all in one pdf or zip the files, then it's much easier for us to download.

Those of you who won't join us on the trip should meet Julien on Tuesdaty at 14.00.

For the rest: see you on Monday morning in London!

160314-16 London Study Trip

160311 Final Review Project 3

The Final review will take place in A124 on the first floor. The room will be open from 9.00 for you to hang your presentations. We will start at 9.30 and follow the schedule below:

9.30 Munkbrohamnen - Sara Tuija

10.45 Riddarholmen - Daniela Haider Xinga

11.00 Norr Mälarstrand - Bartosz, Matteo, Adam

lunch break

13.00 Lidingö - Petros Agnieszka

13.45 Hornsberg - Hua Jiaao Nicodemus

We will have invited guests for the final review.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

160212 SmartGeometry Deadline extended to February 19th

You need to empty the containters downstairs after each session. Until this is working proporly, the workshop has banned use of the router beyond office hours (9 - 16.15). There is a card to borrow for access to the basement, please ask Ulf or Felipé for further information.

151214 Monday - last tutorial dayFirst a clarification to all students - we scheduled the final tutorial to Monday 14th rather than Tuesday 15th to give you more time to include the last feedback for the finals. We do have a full day of tutorials on Monday 14th - the schedule will be posted soon.

To all 5th-year students - please send an updated booklet by email no later than Thursday 10th 17.00 (preferably sooner). We will also schedule our final thesis booklet feedback session for Monday 14th - hopefully only minor details at this stage. You should submit the final version Friday 18th, at 15.00. If needed you may be asked to do complementary writing over the holidays for a final submission early January - but try to avoid this! Ps, for those of you who already sent it - feedback will be given according to above.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151010 Colour schemes

On our server space you can find the colour samples for your maps and diagrams. As said today we all should follow one colour scheme:

services/commercial - red; residential - yellow; public/greenery - green; offices - blue; culture - orange; sports - pink. More colours and shades you can find in the pdf linked below.

https://home.ug.kth.se/Handlers/Download.ashx?action=download&file=KTH%20Studentresurser%2Fkurser%2FARCH%2FStudio%209%2F01_Resources%2Fcolour%20examples%2Fcolours-shortv.pdf

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

From now until Tuesday 29th, you should do an individual assignment, based on if you plan to do the Full Scale or the Design Project for project 2. This has to be conducted individually, and with no tutorials - see details in the brief. We also want you to sign up below for either Full-Scale, or Design Project.

We need this asap, in order to b eable to set the final schedule for Project 4.Please fill in form below! The new brief is available here.

Sign up for what project you want to do for Project 4 below, which also decides what phase 1 assignment you do.

Full Scale Design Project Ádám Tuija Haider Petros Xinga Sara Yunsi Hua Agnieszka Jiaao liu Nicodemus Matteo Student X Bartosz Student X Daniela Student X Student X Student X 160317 Introduction Project 4, presentation of textsDear all, today we'll meet at 15.00 in A434 for introduction to Project 4. Those students who didn't join us for the study trip will also present the 2 texts.

See you soon.

160314 To read for 4th years not on the London tripFor those of you not attending the London trip, we ask you to read, and on Thursday present your view on, two texts. The texts can be seen as a preliminary start-up for Project 4 – for Full Scale and Design Project respectively. The texts should be read by everyone, but we ask you who do not take part in the trip, to give a first introduction to your fellow students. For the Full Scale students the text poses a number of issues that one is facing in doing a design and build project of small size – based on the experience of a particular pavilion developed at the Architectural Association. For the Design Project students, the text introduces a particular design approach and line of exploration defined in the 1960, but very important for projects that deal with movement and experience especially from the 1990s until today. We will ask all of the Design Project students to interpret and apply this approach in your individual design development.

For students planning to do the Full Scale project: Nine Problems in the Form of a Pavilion, Edited by Alan Dempsey and Yusuke Obuchi, AA Agendas No. 8, 2010, ExcerptsThis publication from the Architectural Association uses the DRL-pavilion, designed and constructed for the 10-year anniversary of Design Research Laboratory (DRL) Master’s program at the AA. It poses nine different problems, or relevant issues, that could be part of any design-build endeavor employing digital design approaches. We find the text interesting not in its presentation of this particular pavilion, but rather as an account from a team that have gone through the complete process of conceptualizing, designing and building of a structure not unlike the one we will do this spring. You are asked to read and reflect on the nine problems, or aspects, of this kind of work, and present this to your fellow students.

For students planning to do the Design Project:The Function of the Oblique – the architecture of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio 1962 – 1962, AA Documents 3, ExcerptsThe function of the oblique was introduced by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent as part of their practice Architecture Principe in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a first formation of ideas that have influenced generations of architects, but it is a source that is rarely referenced. At the core, it is based on the idea that the inclined plane – the ramp, or sloping floor, has a particular effect on people. We will ask all Design Project students to work based on this notion, and later also relate it to projection – as a central theme for cinematic technology as well as experience. This first reading should lead to a basic understanding of the notion of the oblique, and a presentation of your reflections on the approach (the book also features samples of concrete structures based on Virilio’s love for concrete bunkers – this is not central to the idea of the oblique).

We will soon get back on the schedule for the coming Thursday, but please be ready for presenting the texts at some point in the afternoon. The texts are avaiable on our server at this location.

160311 Final Review Project 3

Dear all,

Thank you for today!

Please upload all your final review files to the server, today. Attach your model photos and your complete design portfolio. Keep it all in one pdf or zip the files, then it's much easier for us to download.

Those of you who won't join us on the trip should meet Julien on Tuesdaty at 14.00.

For the rest: see you on Monday morning in London!

160314-16 London Study Trip

The program is now available online on the Study Trips page.

160311 Final Review Project 3

The Final review will take place in A124 on the first floor. The room will be open from 9.00 for you to hang your presentations. We will start at 9.30 and follow the schedule below:

9.30 Munkbrohamnen - Sara Tuija

10.45 Riddarholmen - Daniela Haider Xinga

11.00 Norr Mälarstrand - Bartosz, Matteo, Adam

lunch break

13.00 Lidingö - Petros Agnieszka

13.45 Hornsberg - Hua Jiaao Nicodemus

We will have invited guests for the final review.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

160212 SmartGeometry Deadline extended to February 19th

151211 Emptying the trash from the router, and limited time to run.Dear all, the workshop has alerted us that the routines for emptying the trash in the basement does not work. You need to empty the containters downstairs after each session. Until this is working proporly, the workshop has banned use of the router beyond office hours (9 - 16.15). There is a card to borrow for access to the basement, please ask Ulf or Felipé for further information.

151214 Monday - last tutorial dayFirst a clarification to all students - we scheduled the final tutorial to Monday 14th rather than Tuesday 15th to give you more time to include the last feedback for the finals. We do have a full day of tutorials on Monday 14th - the schedule will be posted soon.

To all 5th-year students - please send an updated booklet by email no later than Thursday 10th 17.00 (preferably sooner). We will also schedule our final thesis booklet feedback session for Monday 14th - hopefully only minor details at this stage. You should submit the final version Friday 18th, at 15.00. If needed you may be asked to do complementary writing over the holidays for a final submission early January - but try to avoid this! Ps, for those of you who already sent it - feedback will be given according to above.

151208 Site visit City Banan

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160404 Project 4 schedule online

Dear all, the new schedule is now uploaded to the Briefs + Schedules page. As mentioned, we are moving to a combination of morning meetings combined with a number of full tutorials days. This means that we will be present most mornings from 8.30 - 10, and some (fewer than before) Tuesdays and Thursdays we will be present for tutorials as usual. For the Full Scale team we expect to meet every morning (since you are many students in one team). Thesis students can select one slot any day of the week, and Design Project stduents can select 1 - 2 slots any day of the week. Our ambition is to post slots for tutorials once a week - We hope this becomes clear and helps you plan.

You will find the new schedule here.

Dear all, thank you for good presentations and conversations this morning. Please submit your presentations from today (or photographs of models for Design Project) on the server at this location.

The brief for Project 4, Phase 2, is available here.

160317 Introduction Project 4, choose Full-Scale or Design Project, brief available online

Dear all,

for those of you who missed the presentation today, the brief is available at link below. From now until Tuesday 29th, you should do an individual assignment, based on if you plan to do the Full Scale or the Design Project for project 2. This has to be conducted individually, and with no tutorials - see details in the brief. We also want you to sign up below for either Full-Scale, or Design Project.

We need this asap, in order to b eable to set the final schedule for Project 4.Please fill in form below! The new brief is available here.

Sign up for what project you want to do for Project 4 below, which also decides what phase 1 assignment you do.

Full Scale Design Project Ádám Tuija Haider Petros Xinga Sara Yunsi Hua Agnieszka Jiaao liu Nicodemus Matteo Student X Bartosz Student X Daniela Student X Student X Student X 160317 Introduction Project 4, presentation of textsDear all, today we'll meet at 15.00 in A434 for introduction to Project 4. Those students who didn't join us for the study trip will also present the 2 texts.

See you soon.

160314 To read for 4th years not on the London tripFor those of you not attending the London trip, we ask you to read, and on Thursday present your view on, two texts. The texts can be seen as a preliminary start-up for Project 4 – for Full Scale and Design Project respectively. The texts should be read by everyone, but we ask you who do not take part in the trip, to give a first introduction to your fellow students. For the Full Scale students the text poses a number of issues that one is facing in doing a design and build project of small size – based on the experience of a particular pavilion developed at the Architectural Association. For the Design Project students, the text introduces a particular design approach and line of exploration defined in the 1960, but very important for projects that deal with movement and experience especially from the 1990s until today. We will ask all of the Design Project students to interpret and apply this approach in your individual design development.

For students planning to do the Full Scale project: Nine Problems in the Form of a Pavilion, Edited by Alan Dempsey and Yusuke Obuchi, AA Agendas No. 8, 2010, ExcerptsThis publication from the Architectural Association uses the DRL-pavilion, designed and constructed for the 10-year anniversary of Design Research Laboratory (DRL) Master’s program at the AA. It poses nine different problems, or relevant issues, that could be part of any design-build endeavor employing digital design approaches. We find the text interesting not in its presentation of this particular pavilion, but rather as an account from a team that have gone through the complete process of conceptualizing, designing and building of a structure not unlike the one we will do this spring. You are asked to read and reflect on the nine problems, or aspects, of this kind of work, and present this to your fellow students.

For students planning to do the Design Project:The Function of the Oblique – the architecture of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio 1962 – 1962, AA Documents 3, ExcerptsThe function of the oblique was introduced by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent as part of their practice Architecture Principe in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a first formation of ideas that have influenced generations of architects, but it is a source that is rarely referenced. At the core, it is based on the idea that the inclined plane – the ramp, or sloping floor, has a particular effect on people. We will ask all Design Project students to work based on this notion, and later also relate it to projection – as a central theme for cinematic technology as well as experience. This first reading should lead to a basic understanding of the notion of the oblique, and a presentation of your reflections on the approach (the book also features samples of concrete structures based on Virilio’s love for concrete bunkers – this is not central to the idea of the oblique).

We will soon get back on the schedule for the coming Thursday, but please be ready for presenting the texts at some point in the afternoon. The texts are avaiable on our server at this location.

160311 Final Review Project 3

Dear all,

Thank you for today!

Please upload all your final review files to the server, today. Attach your model photos and your complete design portfolio. Keep it all in one pdf or zip the files, then it's much easier for us to download.

Those of you who won't join us on the trip should meet Julien on Tuesdaty at 14.00.

For the rest: see you on Monday morning in London!

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

160212 SmartGeometry Deadline extended to February 19th

151211 Emptying the trash from the router, and limited time to run.Dear all, the workshop has alerted us that the routines for emptying the trash in the basement does not work. You need to empty the containters downstairs after each session. Until this is working proporly, the workshop has banned use of the router beyond office hours (9 - 16.15). There is a card to borrow for access to the basement, please ask Ulf or Felipé for further information.

151214 Monday - last tutorial dayFirst a clarification to all students - we scheduled the final tutorial to Monday 14th rather than Tuesday 15th to give you more time to include the last feedback for the finals. We do have a full day of tutorials on Monday 14th - the schedule will be posted soon.

To all 5th-year students - please send an updated booklet by email no later than Thursday 10th 17.00 (preferably sooner). We will also schedule our final thesis booklet feedback session for Monday 14th - hopefully only minor details at this stage. You should submit the final version Friday 18th, at 15.00. If needed you may be asked to do complementary writing over the holidays for a final submission early January - but try to avoid this! Ps, for those of you who already sent it - feedback will be given according to above.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151010 Colour schemes

On our server space you can find the colour samples for your maps and diagrams. As said today we all should follow one colour scheme:

services/commercial - red; residential - yellow; public/greenery - green; offices - blue; culture - orange; sports - pink. More colours and shades you can find in the pdf linked below.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160427 Urgent - Important change of schedule for Full Scale + slight changes to thesis students

We need to have a collective meeting with you, Rozan and most tutors to align the process. Since Geska is coming in the morning tomorrow Wednesday (9.00), the only time we coud find is tomorrow Wednesday 27th at 13.30. We are aware that you have seminar, but we hope that as many as possible of you can join this meeting, which will last ca one hour. For thesis students, we will make sure to do the sessions with you, but times may shift a bit.

160414 Meeting at Presentationsdesign

Just a reminder for the Full Scale team meeting Presentationsdesign in Nacka Thursday 8.30 - 10. Elsa will meet you at Slussen, the lower level bus station, at 8.00. If anyone choses to go by bike, the address is Ryssviksvägen 2 in Nacka, entrance by the loading bay at the parking lot. Please remember to bring the models from the presentation.

160412 Mid review

As stated in the schedule that was updated today:

The mid review will start at 13.00 in room A124. The room is available for you all morning.

See you tomorrow and break a leg!

160411 Lecture by Gustav Fagerström

The lecture will present examples from practice (architecture + engineering) as well as academic exeriments, including SmartGeometry.

Monday 11/4, 16.00, room A124

The lecture is open - invite all your friends!

160404 Project 4 schedule online

Dear all, the new schedule is now uploaded to the Briefs + Schedules page. As mentioned, we are moving to a combination of morning meetings combined with a number of full tutorials days. This means that we will be present most mornings from 8.30 - 10, and some (fewer than before) Tuesdays and Thursdays we will be present for tutorials as usual. For the Full Scale team we expect to meet every morning (since you are many students in one team). Thesis students can select one slot any day of the week, and Design Project stduents can select 1 - 2 slots any day of the week. Our ambition is to post slots for tutorials once a week - We hope this becomes clear and helps you plan.

You will find the new schedule here.

160329 Submission of presentations today (Project 4, Phase 1), and brief Phase 2

Dear all, thank you for good presentations and conversations this morning. Please submit your presentations from today (or photographs of models for Design Project) on the server at this location.

The brief for Project 4, Phase 2, is available here.

160317 Introduction Project 4, choose Full-Scale or Design Project, brief available online

Dear all,

for those of you who missed the presentation today, the brief is available at link below. From now until Tuesday 29th, you should do an individual assignment, based on if you plan to do the Full Scale or the Design Project for project 2. This has to be conducted individually, and with no tutorials - see details in the brief. We also want you to sign up below for either Full-Scale, or Design Project.

We need this asap, in order to b eable to set the final schedule for Project 4.Please fill in form below! The new brief is available here.

Sign up for what project you want to do for Project 4 below, which also decides what phase 1 assignment you do.

Full Scale Design Project Ádám Tuija Haider Petros Xinga Sara Yunsi Hua Agnieszka Jiaao liu Nicodemus Matteo Student X Bartosz Student X Daniela Student X Student X Student X 160317 Introduction Project 4, presentation of textsDear all, today we'll meet at 15.00 in A434 for introduction to Project 4. Those students who didn't join us for the study trip will also present the 2 texts.

See you soon.

160314 To read for 4th years not on the London tripFor those of you not attending the London trip, we ask you to read, and on Thursday present your view on, two texts. The texts can be seen as a preliminary start-up for Project 4 – for Full Scale and Design Project respectively. The texts should be read by everyone, but we ask you who do not take part in the trip, to give a first introduction to your fellow students. For the Full Scale students the text poses a number of issues that one is facing in doing a design and build project of small size – based on the experience of a particular pavilion developed at the Architectural Association. For the Design Project students, the text introduces a particular design approach and line of exploration defined in the 1960, but very important for projects that deal with movement and experience especially from the 1990s until today. We will ask all of the Design Project students to interpret and apply this approach in your individual design development.

For students planning to do the Full Scale project: Nine Problems in the Form of a Pavilion, Edited by Alan Dempsey and Yusuke Obuchi, AA Agendas No. 8, 2010, ExcerptsThis publication from the Architectural Association uses the DRL-pavilion, designed and constructed for the 10-year anniversary of Design Research Laboratory (DRL) Master’s program at the AA. It poses nine different problems, or relevant issues, that could be part of any design-build endeavor employing digital design approaches. We find the text interesting not in its presentation of this particular pavilion, but rather as an account from a team that have gone through the complete process of conceptualizing, designing and building of a structure not unlike the one we will do this spring. You are asked to read and reflect on the nine problems, or aspects, of this kind of work, and present this to your fellow students.

For students planning to do the Design Project:The Function of the Oblique – the architecture of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio 1962 – 1962, AA Documents 3, ExcerptsThe function of the oblique was introduced by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent as part of their practice Architecture Principe in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a first formation of ideas that have influenced generations of architects, but it is a source that is rarely referenced. At the core, it is based on the idea that the inclined plane – the ramp, or sloping floor, has a particular effect on people. We will ask all Design Project students to work based on this notion, and later also relate it to projection – as a central theme for cinematic technology as well as experience. This first reading should lead to a basic understanding of the notion of the oblique, and a presentation of your reflections on the approach (the book also features samples of concrete structures based on Virilio’s love for concrete bunkers – this is not central to the idea of the oblique).

We will soon get back on the schedule for the coming Thursday, but please be ready for presenting the texts at some point in the afternoon. The texts are avaiable on our server at this location.

160311 Final Review Project 3

Dear all,

Thank you for today!

Please upload all your final review files to the server, today. Attach your model photos and your complete design portfolio. Keep it all in one pdf or zip the files, then it's much easier for us to download.

Those of you who won't join us on the trip should meet Julien on Tuesdaty at 14.00.

For the rest: see you on Monday morning in London!

160314-16 London Study Trip

The program is now available online on the Study Trips page.

160311 Final Review Project 3

The Final review will take place in A124 on the first floor. The room will be open from 9.00 for you to hang your presentations. We will start at 9.30 and follow the schedule below:

9.30 Munkbrohamnen - Sara Tuija

10.45 Riddarholmen - Daniela Haider Xinga

11.00 Norr Mälarstrand - Bartosz, Matteo, Adam

lunch break

13.00 Lidingö - Petros Agnieszka

13.45 Hornsberg - Hua Jiaao Nicodemus

We will have invited guests for the final review.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160404 Project 4 schedule online

Dear all, the new schedule is now uploaded to the Briefs + Schedules page. As mentioned, we are moving to a combination of morning meetings combined with a number of full tutorials days. This means that we will be present most mornings from 8.30 - 10, and some (fewer than before) Tuesdays and Thursdays we will be present for tutorials as usual. For the Full Scale team we expect to meet every morning (since you are many students in one team). Thesis students can select one slot any day of the week, and Design Project stduents can select 1 - 2 slots any day of the week. Our ambition is to post slots for tutorials once a week - We hope this becomes clear and helps you plan.

You will find the new schedule here.

160330 Free participation in SmartGeometry Conference next week

Dear all,

we have received an offer for free student participation in the SmartGeometry Conference (that follows the workshop at SmartGeometry in Gothernbirg next week). If you are interested in attendeing the two day conference, Friday + Saturday next week, please send an email to Jonas immediately.

160329 Submission of presentations today (Project 4, Phase 1), and brief Phase 2

Dear all, thank you for good presentations and conversations this morning. Please submit your presentations from today (or photographs of models for Design Project) on the server at this location.

The brief for Project 4, Phase 2, is available here.

160317 Introduction Project 4, choose Full-Scale or Design Project, brief available online

Dear all,

for those of you who missed the presentation today, the brief is available at link below. From now until Tuesday 29th, you should do an individual assignment, based on if you plan to do the Full Scale or the Design Project for project 2. This has to be conducted individually, and with no tutorials - see details in the brief. We also want you to sign up below for either Full-Scale, or Design Project.

We need this asap, in order to b eable to set the final schedule for Project 4.Please fill in form below! The new brief is available here.

Sign up for what project you want to do for Project 4 below, which also decides what phase 1 assignment you do.

Full Scale Design Project Ádám Tuija Haider Petros Xinga Sara Yunsi Hua Agnieszka Jiaao liu Nicodemus Matteo Student X Bartosz Student X Daniela Student X Student X Student X 160317 Introduction Project 4, presentation of textsDear all, today we'll meet at 15.00 in A434 for introduction to Project 4. Those students who didn't join us for the study trip will also present the 2 texts.

See you soon.

160314 To read for 4th years not on the London tripFor those of you not attending the London trip, we ask you to read, and on Thursday present your view on, two texts. The texts can be seen as a preliminary start-up for Project 4 – for Full Scale and Design Project respectively. The texts should be read by everyone, but we ask you who do not take part in the trip, to give a first introduction to your fellow students. For the Full Scale students the text poses a number of issues that one is facing in doing a design and build project of small size – based on the experience of a particular pavilion developed at the Architectural Association. For the Design Project students, the text introduces a particular design approach and line of exploration defined in the 1960, but very important for projects that deal with movement and experience especially from the 1990s until today. We will ask all of the Design Project students to interpret and apply this approach in your individual design development.

For students planning to do the Full Scale project: Nine Problems in the Form of a Pavilion, Edited by Alan Dempsey and Yusuke Obuchi, AA Agendas No. 8, 2010, ExcerptsThis publication from the Architectural Association uses the DRL-pavilion, designed and constructed for the 10-year anniversary of Design Research Laboratory (DRL) Master’s program at the AA. It poses nine different problems, or relevant issues, that could be part of any design-build endeavor employing digital design approaches. We find the text interesting not in its presentation of this particular pavilion, but rather as an account from a team that have gone through the complete process of conceptualizing, designing and building of a structure not unlike the one we will do this spring. You are asked to read and reflect on the nine problems, or aspects, of this kind of work, and present this to your fellow students.

For students planning to do the Design Project:The Function of the Oblique – the architecture of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio 1962 – 1962, AA Documents 3, ExcerptsThe function of the oblique was introduced by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent as part of their practice Architecture Principe in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a first formation of ideas that have influenced generations of architects, but it is a source that is rarely referenced. At the core, it is based on the idea that the inclined plane – the ramp, or sloping floor, has a particular effect on people. We will ask all Design Project students to work based on this notion, and later also relate it to projection – as a central theme for cinematic technology as well as experience. This first reading should lead to a basic understanding of the notion of the oblique, and a presentation of your reflections on the approach (the book also features samples of concrete structures based on Virilio’s love for concrete bunkers – this is not central to the idea of the oblique).

We will soon get back on the schedule for the coming Thursday, but please be ready for presenting the texts at some point in the afternoon. The texts are avaiable on our server at this location.

160311 Final Review Project 3

Dear all,

Thank you for today!

Please upload all your final review files to the server, today. Attach your model photos and your complete design portfolio. Keep it all in one pdf or zip the files, then it's much easier for us to download.

Those of you who won't join us on the trip should meet Julien on Tuesdaty at 14.00.

For the rest: see you on Monday morning in London!

160314-16 London Study Trip

The program is now available online on the Study Trips page.

160311 Final Review Project 3

The Final review will take place in A124 on the first floor. The room will be open from 9.00 for you to hang your presentations. We will start at 9.30 and follow the schedule below:

9.30 Munkbrohamnen - Sara Tuija

10.45 Riddarholmen - Daniela Haider Xinga

11.00 Norr Mälarstrand - Bartosz, Matteo, Adam

lunch break

13.00 Lidingö - Petros Agnieszka

13.45 Hornsberg - Hua Jiaao Nicodemus

We will have invited guests for the final review.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

160212 SmartGeometry Deadline extended to February 19th

151211 Emptying the trash from the router, and limited time to run.Dear all, the workshop has alerted us that the routines for emptying the trash in the basement does not work. You need to empty the containters downstairs after each session. Until this is working proporly, the workshop has banned use of the router beyond office hours (9 - 16.15). There is a card to borrow for access to the basement, please ask Ulf or Felipé for further information.

151214 Monday - last tutorial dayFirst a clarification to all students - we scheduled the final tutorial to Monday 14th rather than Tuesday 15th to give you more time to include the last feedback for the finals. We do have a full day of tutorials on Monday 14th - the schedule will be posted soon.

To all 5th-year students - please send an updated booklet by email no later than Thursday 10th 17.00 (preferably sooner). We will also schedule our final thesis booklet feedback session for Monday 14th - hopefully only minor details at this stage. You should submit the final version Friday 18th, at 15.00. If needed you may be asked to do complementary writing over the holidays for a final submission early January - but try to avoid this! Ps, for those of you who already sent it - feedback will be given according to above.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151010 Colour schemes

On our server space you can find the colour samples for your maps and diagrams. As said today we all should follow one colour scheme:

services/commercial - red; residential - yellow; public/greenery - green; offices - blue; culture - orange; sports - pink. More colours and shades you can find in the pdf linked below.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

Revision - schedule today as follows:

13 - 14 Tutorial on thesis project, Vilius, in studio

14 - 16.30 Pinup in studio. Boards will be available from 12.

Dear all, we decided to try the pinup in the studio space after all. We start at 13.00, and we will bring additional screens in just before lunch. Make sure to print all your material well in time before we start (if you have not yet used the new printer system, make sure to test it already today.

We should also make sure that we have moved our tables acccording to the conversation this Monday.

See you all tomorrow.

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

160404 Project 4 schedule online

Dear all, the new schedule is now uploaded to the Briefs + Schedules page. As mentioned, we are moving to a combination of morning meetings combined with a number of full tutorials days. This means that we will be present most mornings from 8.30 - 10, and some (fewer than before) Tuesdays and Thursdays we will be present for tutorials as usual. For the Full Scale team we expect to meet every morning (since you are many students in one team). Thesis students can select one slot any day of the week, and Design Project stduents can select 1 - 2 slots any day of the week. Our ambition is to post slots for tutorials once a week - We hope this becomes clear and helps you plan.

You will find the new schedule here.

Dear all, thank you for good presentations and conversations this morning. Please submit your presentations from today (or photographs of models for Design Project) on the server at this location.

The brief for Project 4, Phase 2, is available here.

160317 Introduction Project 4, choose Full-Scale or Design Project, brief available online

Dear all,

for those of you who missed the presentation today, the brief is available at link below. From now until Tuesday 29th, you should do an individual assignment, based on if you plan to do the Full Scale or the Design Project for project 2. This has to be conducted individually, and with no tutorials - see details in the brief. We also want you to sign up below for either Full-Scale, or Design Project.

We need this asap, in order to b eable to set the final schedule for Project 4.Please fill in form below! The new brief is available here.

Sign up for what project you want to do for Project 4 below, which also decides what phase 1 assignment you do.

Full Scale Design Project Ádám Tuija Haider Petros Xinga Sara Yunsi Hua Agnieszka Jiaao liu Nicodemus Matteo Student X Bartosz Student X Daniela Student X Student X Student X 160317 Introduction Project 4, presentation of textsDear all, today we'll meet at 15.00 in A434 for introduction to Project 4. Those students who didn't join us for the study trip will also present the 2 texts.

See you soon.

160314 To read for 4th years not on the London tripFor those of you not attending the London trip, we ask you to read, and on Thursday present your view on, two texts. The texts can be seen as a preliminary start-up for Project 4 – for Full Scale and Design Project respectively. The texts should be read by everyone, but we ask you who do not take part in the trip, to give a first introduction to your fellow students. For the Full Scale students the text poses a number of issues that one is facing in doing a design and build project of small size – based on the experience of a particular pavilion developed at the Architectural Association. For the Design Project students, the text introduces a particular design approach and line of exploration defined in the 1960, but very important for projects that deal with movement and experience especially from the 1990s until today. We will ask all of the Design Project students to interpret and apply this approach in your individual design development.

For students planning to do the Full Scale project: Nine Problems in the Form of a Pavilion, Edited by Alan Dempsey and Yusuke Obuchi, AA Agendas No. 8, 2010, ExcerptsThis publication from the Architectural Association uses the DRL-pavilion, designed and constructed for the 10-year anniversary of Design Research Laboratory (DRL) Master’s program at the AA. It poses nine different problems, or relevant issues, that could be part of any design-build endeavor employing digital design approaches. We find the text interesting not in its presentation of this particular pavilion, but rather as an account from a team that have gone through the complete process of conceptualizing, designing and building of a structure not unlike the one we will do this spring. You are asked to read and reflect on the nine problems, or aspects, of this kind of work, and present this to your fellow students.

For students planning to do the Design Project:The Function of the Oblique – the architecture of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio 1962 – 1962, AA Documents 3, ExcerptsThe function of the oblique was introduced by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent as part of their practice Architecture Principe in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a first formation of ideas that have influenced generations of architects, but it is a source that is rarely referenced. At the core, it is based on the idea that the inclined plane – the ramp, or sloping floor, has a particular effect on people. We will ask all Design Project students to work based on this notion, and later also relate it to projection – as a central theme for cinematic technology as well as experience. This first reading should lead to a basic understanding of the notion of the oblique, and a presentation of your reflections on the approach (the book also features samples of concrete structures based on Virilio’s love for concrete bunkers – this is not central to the idea of the oblique).

We will soon get back on the schedule for the coming Thursday, but please be ready for presenting the texts at some point in the afternoon. The texts are avaiable on our server at this location.

160311 Final Review Project 3

Dear all,

Thank you for today!

Please upload all your final review files to the server, today. Attach your model photos and your complete design portfolio. Keep it all in one pdf or zip the files, then it's much easier for us to download.

Those of you who won't join us on the trip should meet Julien on Tuesdaty at 14.00.

For the rest: see you on Monday morning in London!

160314-16 London Study Trip

The program is now available online on the Study Trips page.

160311 Final Review Project 3

The Final review will take place in A124 on the first floor. The room will be open from 9.00 for you to hang your presentations. We will start at 9.30 and follow the schedule below:

9.30 Munkbrohamnen - Sara Tuija

10.45 Riddarholmen - Daniela Haider Xinga

11.00 Norr Mälarstrand - Bartosz, Matteo, Adam

lunch break

13.00 Lidingö - Petros Agnieszka

13.45 Hornsberg - Hua Jiaao Nicodemus

We will have invited guests for the final review.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

160212 SmartGeometry Deadline extended to February 19th

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

From now until Tuesday 29th, you should do an individual assignment, based on if you plan to do the Full Scale or the Design Project for project 2. This has to be conducted individually, and with no tutorials - see details in the brief. We also want you to sign up below for either Full-Scale, or Design Project.

We need this asap, in order to b eable to set the final schedule for Project 4.Please fill in form below! The new brief is available here.

Sign up for what project you want to do for Project 4 below, which also decides what phase 1 assignment you do.

Full Scale Design Project Ádám Tuija Haider Petros Xinga Sara Yunsi Hua Agnieszka Jiaao liu Nicodemus Matteo Student X Bartosz Student X Daniela Student X Student X Student X 160317 Introduction Project 4, presentation of textsDear all, today we'll meet at 15.00 in A434 for introduction to Project 4. Those students who didn't join us for the study trip will also present the 2 texts.

See you soon.

160314 To read for 4th years not on the London tripFor those of you not attending the London trip, we ask you to read, and on Thursday present your view on, two texts. The texts can be seen as a preliminary start-up for Project 4 – for Full Scale and Design Project respectively. The texts should be read by everyone, but we ask you who do not take part in the trip, to give a first introduction to your fellow students. For the Full Scale students the text poses a number of issues that one is facing in doing a design and build project of small size – based on the experience of a particular pavilion developed at the Architectural Association. For the Design Project students, the text introduces a particular design approach and line of exploration defined in the 1960, but very important for projects that deal with movement and experience especially from the 1990s until today. We will ask all of the Design Project students to interpret and apply this approach in your individual design development.

For students planning to do the Full Scale project: Nine Problems in the Form of a Pavilion, Edited by Alan Dempsey and Yusuke Obuchi, AA Agendas No. 8, 2010, ExcerptsThis publication from the Architectural Association uses the DRL-pavilion, designed and constructed for the 10-year anniversary of Design Research Laboratory (DRL) Master’s program at the AA. It poses nine different problems, or relevant issues, that could be part of any design-build endeavor employing digital design approaches. We find the text interesting not in its presentation of this particular pavilion, but rather as an account from a team that have gone through the complete process of conceptualizing, designing and building of a structure not unlike the one we will do this spring. You are asked to read and reflect on the nine problems, or aspects, of this kind of work, and present this to your fellow students.

For students planning to do the Design Project:The Function of the Oblique – the architecture of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio 1962 – 1962, AA Documents 3, ExcerptsThe function of the oblique was introduced by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent as part of their practice Architecture Principe in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a first formation of ideas that have influenced generations of architects, but it is a source that is rarely referenced. At the core, it is based on the idea that the inclined plane – the ramp, or sloping floor, has a particular effect on people. We will ask all Design Project students to work based on this notion, and later also relate it to projection – as a central theme for cinematic technology as well as experience. This first reading should lead to a basic understanding of the notion of the oblique, and a presentation of your reflections on the approach (the book also features samples of concrete structures based on Virilio’s love for concrete bunkers – this is not central to the idea of the oblique).

We will soon get back on the schedule for the coming Thursday, but please be ready for presenting the texts at some point in the afternoon. The texts are avaiable on our server at this location.

160311 Final Review Project 3

Dear all,

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

160212 SmartGeometry Deadline extended to February 19th

151211 Emptying the trash from the router, and limited time to run.Dear all, the workshop has alerted us that the routines for emptying the trash in the basement does not work. You need to empty the containters downstairs after each session. Until this is working proporly, the workshop has banned use of the router beyond office hours (9 - 16.15). There is a card to borrow for access to the basement, please ask Ulf or Felipé for further information.

151214 Monday - last tutorial dayFirst a clarification to all students - we scheduled the final tutorial to Monday 14th rather than Tuesday 15th to give you more time to include the last feedback for the finals. We do have a full day of tutorials on Monday 14th - the schedule will be posted soon.

To all 5th-year students - please send an updated booklet by email no later than Thursday 10th 17.00 (preferably sooner). We will also schedule our final thesis booklet feedback session for Monday 14th - hopefully only minor details at this stage. You should submit the final version Friday 18th, at 15.00. If needed you may be asked to do complementary writing over the holidays for a final submission early January - but try to avoid this! Ps, for those of you who already sent it - feedback will be given according to above.

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

karta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

From now until Tuesday 29th, you should do an individual assignment, based on if you plan to do the Full Scale or the Design Project for project 2. This has to be conducted individually, and with no tutorials - see details in the brief. We also want you to sign up below for either Full-Scale, or Design Project.

We need this asap, in order to b eable to set the final schedule for Project 4.Please fill in form below! The new brief is available here.

Sign up for what project you want to do for Project 4 below, which also decides what phase 1 assignment you do.

Full Scale Design Project Ádám Tuija Haider Petros Xinga Sara Yunsi Hua Agnieszka Jiaao liu Nicodemus Matteo Student X Bartosz Student X Daniela Student X Student X Student X 160317 Introduction Project 4, presentation of textsDear all, today we'll meet at 15.00 in A434 for introduction to Project 4. Those students who didn't join us for the study trip will also present the 2 texts.

See you soon.

160314 To read for 4th years not on the London tripFor those of you not attending the London trip, we ask you to read, and on Thursday present your view on, two texts. The texts can be seen as a preliminary start-up for Project 4 – for Full Scale and Design Project respectively. The texts should be read by everyone, but we ask you who do not take part in the trip, to give a first introduction to your fellow students. For the Full Scale students the text poses a number of issues that one is facing in doing a design and build project of small size – based on the experience of a particular pavilion developed at the Architectural Association. For the Design Project students, the text introduces a particular design approach and line of exploration defined in the 1960, but very important for projects that deal with movement and experience especially from the 1990s until today. We will ask all of the Design Project students to interpret and apply this approach in your individual design development.

For students planning to do the Full Scale project: Nine Problems in the Form of a Pavilion, Edited by Alan Dempsey and Yusuke Obuchi, AA Agendas No. 8, 2010, ExcerptsThis publication from the Architectural Association uses the DRL-pavilion, designed and constructed for the 10-year anniversary of Design Research Laboratory (DRL) Master’s program at the AA. It poses nine different problems, or relevant issues, that could be part of any design-build endeavor employing digital design approaches. We find the text interesting not in its presentation of this particular pavilion, but rather as an account from a team that have gone through the complete process of conceptualizing, designing and building of a structure not unlike the one we will do this spring. You are asked to read and reflect on the nine problems, or aspects, of this kind of work, and present this to your fellow students.

For students planning to do the Design Project:The Function of the Oblique – the architecture of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio 1962 – 1962, AA Documents 3, ExcerptsThe function of the oblique was introduced by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent as part of their practice Architecture Principe in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a first formation of ideas that have influenced generations of architects, but it is a source that is rarely referenced. At the core, it is based on the idea that the inclined plane – the ramp, or sloping floor, has a particular effect on people. We will ask all Design Project students to work based on this notion, and later also relate it to projection – as a central theme for cinematic technology as well as experience. This first reading should lead to a basic understanding of the notion of the oblique, and a presentation of your reflections on the approach (the book also features samples of concrete structures based on Virilio’s love for concrete bunkers – this is not central to the idea of the oblique).

We will soon get back on the schedule for the coming Thursday, but please be ready for presenting the texts at some point in the afternoon. The texts are avaiable on our server at this location.

160311 Final Review Project 3

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151010 Colour schemes

On our server space you can find the colour samples for your maps and diagrams. As said today we all should follow one colour scheme:

services/commercial - red; residential - yellow; public/greenery - green; offices - blue; culture - orange; sports - pink. More colours and shades you can find in the pdf linked below.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

Akarta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.

This means that we will be present most mornings from 8.30 - 10, and some (fewer than before) Tuesdays and Thursdays we will be present for tutorials as usual. For the Full Scale team we expect to meet every morning (since you are many students in one team). Thesis students can select one slot any day of the week, and Design Project stduents can select 1 - 2 slots any day of the week. Our ambition is to post slots for tutorials once a week - We hope this becomes clear and helps you plan.

You will find the new schedule here.

160329 Submission of presentations today (Project 4, Phase 1), and brief Phase 2

Dear all, thank you for good presentations and conversations this morning. Please submit your presentations from today (or photographs of models for Design Project) on the server at this location.

The brief for Project 4, Phase 2, is available here.

160317 Introduction Project 4, choose Full-Scale or Design Project, brief available online

Dear all,

for those of you who missed the presentation today, the brief is available at link below. From now until Tuesday 29th, you should do an individual assignment, based on if you plan to do the Full Scale or the Design Project for project 2. This has to be conducted individually, and with no tutorials - see details in the brief. We also want you to sign up below for either Full-Scale, or Design Project.

We need this asap, in order to b eable to set the final schedule for Project 4.Please fill in form below! The new brief is available here.

Sign up for what project you want to do for Project 4 below, which also decides what phase 1 assignment you do.

Full Scale Design Project Ádám Tuija Haider Petros Xinga Sara Yunsi Hua Agnieszka Jiaao liu Nicodemus Matteo Student X Bartosz Student X Daniela Student X Student X Student X 160317 Introduction Project 4, presentation of textsDear all, today we'll meet at 15.00 in A434 for introduction to Project 4. Those students who didn't join us for the study trip will also present the 2 texts.

See you soon.

160314 To read for 4th years not on the London tripFor those of you not attending the London trip, we ask you to read, and on Thursday present your view on, two texts. The texts can be seen as a preliminary start-up for Project 4 – for Full Scale and Design Project respectively. The texts should be read by everyone, but we ask you who do not take part in the trip, to give a first introduction to your fellow students. For the Full Scale students the text poses a number of issues that one is facing in doing a design and build project of small size – based on the experience of a particular pavilion developed at the Architectural Association. For the Design Project students, the text introduces a particular design approach and line of exploration defined in the 1960, but very important for projects that deal with movement and experience especially from the 1990s until today. We will ask all of the Design Project students to interpret and apply this approach in your individual design development.

For students planning to do the Full Scale project: Nine Problems in the Form of a Pavilion, Edited by Alan Dempsey and Yusuke Obuchi, AA Agendas No. 8, 2010, ExcerptsThis publication from the Architectural Association uses the DRL-pavilion, designed and constructed for the 10-year anniversary of Design Research Laboratory (DRL) Master’s program at the AA. It poses nine different problems, or relevant issues, that could be part of any design-build endeavor employing digital design approaches. We find the text interesting not in its presentation of this particular pavilion, but rather as an account from a team that have gone through the complete process of conceptualizing, designing and building of a structure not unlike the one we will do this spring. You are asked to read and reflect on the nine problems, or aspects, of this kind of work, and present this to your fellow students.

For students planning to do the Design Project:The Function of the Oblique – the architecture of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio 1962 – 1962, AA Documents 3, ExcerptsThe function of the oblique was introduced by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent as part of their practice Architecture Principe in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a first formation of ideas that have influenced generations of architects, but it is a source that is rarely referenced. At the core, it is based on the idea that the inclined plane – the ramp, or sloping floor, has a particular effect on people. We will ask all Design Project students to work based on this notion, and later also relate it to projection – as a central theme for cinematic technology as well as experience. This first reading should lead to a basic understanding of the notion of the oblique, and a presentation of your reflections on the approach (the book also features samples of concrete structures based on Virilio’s love for concrete bunkers – this is not central to the idea of the oblique).

We will soon get back on the schedule for the coming Thursday, but please be ready for presenting the texts at some point in the afternoon. The texts are avaiable on our server at this location.

160311 Final Review Project 3

Dear all,

Thank you for today!

Please upload all your final review files to the server, today. Attach your model photos and your complete design portfolio. Keep it all in one pdf or zip the files, then it's much easier for us to download.

Those of you who won't join us on the trip should meet Julien on Tuesdaty at 14.00.

For the rest: see you on Monday morning in London!

160314-16 London Study Trip

The program is now available online on the Study Trips page.

160311 Final Review Project 3

The Final review will take place in A124 on the first floor. The room will be open from 9.00 for you to hang your presentations. We will start at 9.30 and follow the schedule below:

9.30 Munkbrohamnen - Sara Tuija

10.45 Riddarholmen - Daniela Haider Xinga

11.00 Norr Mälarstrand - Bartosz, Matteo, Adam

lunch break

13.00 Lidingö - Petros Agnieszka

13.45 Hornsberg - Hua Jiaao Nicodemus

We will have invited guests for the final review.

160301 Computational Design Session 11

We continue the successful plan to start the session at 9:30 for this Thursday :)

Session 11 is going to be mainly about Kangaroo:

* Form-finding and structural simulation process
* Minimal surface modelling
* Working with mesh geometry
We will hopefully have some time to take some questions as well, so if you wanna know something specific or if you have a problem you can bring it to the session.

160222 Study Trip

Dear all, We're happy that many of you signed up for the study trip so far, but we're still missing answers from some of you. We need your answers today (22/2), as we need to administrate a KTH student medical insurance card for you. We need your answer regardless if you go or if you don't. Please help us by reminding your studio mates.

Sign up is under the title Study Trip > Trip registration on the left here.

160221 Computational Design Session 10

Dear all,

For next session on Thursday we are going to be about:

* Doing notches, tags, and extracting fabrication information from the Smithsonian Courtyard definition which we have been working on.
* Start with form-finding in Kangaroo.
You need to prepare:

* If you've missed last session make sure to go through the definition and understand the logic, in order to continue the work. You can find the definition uploaded on the server, here.
* Download and install Kangaroo and Weaverbird.
Some notes:

* Kangaroo comes in two versions: Kangaroo Physics 0.099, and Kangaroo 2.02. The new version has improvements and major changes, but is is still a WIP version which lacks some features. We will use the Kangaroo Physics 0.099, but you can install Kangaroo 2.02 in parallel to the old version, if you wish.
* If you want to read/watch a bit about Kangaroo before the session, you can find manuals, videos, and example files in the same link on the Grasshopper website.
* I guess you have also experienced that all sessions have started earliest 9:20. That's mainly due to the fact that only 1-3 students are on-time.You can occasionally be late on a session and that's fine, but it cannot become a routine! Specially for the lectures and theory sessions, and even more specially for Computational Design sessions, since they follow a linear process based on their nature. As a test we start this time at 9:30 sharp, in case 9:00 is too early. Please have respect for yourselves and your colleagues and be on-time if you want to come.
See you!

151112 Open Lecture at school: Gilles Retsin, Thursday November 12

gilles retsin.jpg

18.00, Room 108, KTH School of Architecture

We highly recommend this lecture!

Gilles Retsin is the founder of Gilles Retsin Architecture, a young award-winning London based architecture and design practice, interested in the impact of computation and new fabrication methods on the core principles of architecture. Alongside his practice, Gilles directs a research cluster at UCL/ the Bartlett school of Architecture investigating robotic manufacturing and large-scale 3D printing, and is senior lecturer at UEL.

"Architecture as a continuously evolving organic body, growing and adapting under external forces - the prevailing paradigm for computation in the past two decades - is under pressure. This lecture will explore how that paradigm has undermined architecture’s autonomy, and has fundamentally always been in trouble with tectonics. Rather then borrowing models from nature; or moving into neo-phenomenology; I will argue for an architectural ontology based on sharpening the tension between architecture and its parts. Increased computational capabilities are able to push the modernist understanding of architecture as an assemblage of prefabricated, discrete elements into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable detail, materiality, structure and aesthetics."

The lecture is organised as part of the Draw, point, talk series, by the Stockholm Association of Architects.You can follow their general program on Facebook here.

151110 Introducing Project 2

Dear all,

We now start project 2. You will find the brief and schedule (which may be updated) on the briefs and schedule page.

You will find relevant material, from digital models and drawings to reports and surveys on the server here, divided into Stockholm and Nacka.

151105

Dear all,

we will meet for the start-up of project 2 on Tuesday 10/11, 10.00, in room A434.

Before this, we ask you to form teams. In project 2, you can work individually, or in teams of 2 - 3. The specific sites for each team will be given to you on Tuesday after lunch, but you may swap between teams.

151104

...And you are in the local news:

151104 Post Finals and Computational Design Thursday

Dear all,

thanks for all work for our finals! We think it was a very good day, with many valuable conversations that could only happen due to your efforts, and our guests have been equally happy an dimpressed by your work.

As stated yesterday, you will receive the brief for project 2 next Tuesday. Until then, the following should be done:

* Computational design, tomorrow Thursday 9 - 12
* Make sure to complete you design portfolio, if you haven't already - one per project should be submitted.
* Submit your design presentation as per previous instructions (if you know any obvious mistakes or missing parts, include them).
* Photograph your model, and sumit images as well (zip multiple images before uploading).
* Get some rest
* (And, if you are a fifth-year student, think a bit of your ideas for your thesis)

151102 Final Review Project 1, Tuesday

Dear all,

we start the review tomorrow at 9.30 sharp - all projects should be pinned up at this time. We will in the amoeba - the entrance space, on the wall of the inner stairwell. You may use panels as well the wall to pin up. We will discuss the best poistion of the models when we meet - but we have discussed the space to the right of the pavilion. We will have a number of external guests, so make sure to be on time. We will wrap up at 16.00, where we will get additional guests who are very interested in your work - including media.

Also, make sure to upload your presentation pdfs on the server, in this location, as soon as possible. Name your files according to the following principle: BrommaBlocksFinalReview.pdf.

We look forward to see your progress tomorrow!

151022 MILLING JOB

Hello,

The updated "Quick Guide for contouring and milling" has been uploaded to the server: Kurser > ARCH > Studio 9 > 01_Resources > Master Cam > "151022 Quick guide"

Please take into account that the final files for the milling job can only be prepared on the workstation of the CNC Lab!

As said yesterday during the Mastercam demonstration, each group will have the chance to mill the model during one day only, starting tomorrow Friday 23rd until Friday 30th, including the weekend if necessary. Please sing up in the chart below.

Fri 23 Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Thu 29 Fri 30 File preparation Milling job 6 4 2 1 3 5 We encourage you to prepare the files enough in advance, since the idea is to run the milling jobs as early as possible in the mornings. The files can also be prepared while a milling job is running, so it would be great to prepare all of them during the first two days. Take into account that the actual milling time might be up to three times (!!) the calculated time by the program; milling a big model could easily take a whole working day.

All the requested material is already available at the school, thicknesses 50 and 70mm. You can find it at the assembly workshop (beside the DFL Lab). Please take only the material that you have ordered. Prepare also the material enough in advance: if you need to glue some foam pieces, do it at least the day before the milling job so that they are dry, ready and perfectly flat. The glue sold at the woodshop works perfectly fine.

Feel free to contact us for any questions,

Ulf & Felipe

151020 Deliverables for Finals

These are the refined deliverables for the final review. The tutorials on Thursday 22/10 will focus on deliverables - we will discuss the specific representations for each project - see the Tutorials page, soon to be updated.

Deliverables:

* All material printed as A1 drawings, landscape format. Posters should include annotation - labels of all drawings, north arrows, scales, height annotations, indications of sections on plans, indications on where perspectives are taken, legends for color coding and other pertinent information
* Project title, and a minimum 200 - 300 word text describing your concept and proposal, and your approach to the relation between architecture and infrastructure (included in design portfolio and on posters)
* Initial analysis and vision through relevant plans, diagrams and other representations (reformatted to A1)
* At least one plan, section and elevation scale 1:200, with complementary drawings in 1:500Site plan 1:1000 or 1:2000 (depending on the size).
* One axonometric drawing explaining entire project.
* Exterior and interior illustrations
* Diagrams clarifying concepts, design processes, movement, connectivity, daylight, program as relevant
* Diagrammatic structural principles of relevant aspects
* Physical model as decided in Studio
* Design Portfolio showing process from analysis to final proposals - collect all material in printed A3 format
Remember that our guests do not know your projects or sites before. The overall drawing of the tram line will be available for general reference.

151019 MATERIAL ACQUISITION FOR MODELS

Hello,

We are coordinating when to buy the material we need to do our models. The proposal is that we buy the material ourselves in Bauhaus Bromma and then we get reimbursed by the Studio.

The material is white cellplast, dimensions 60x120cm, thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70mm (some thicknesses might not be available at Bromma). Check this link out:

http://www.bauhaus.se/cellplast-s80-600x1200x40-mm.html

So each group has to check what is the suitable thickness (taking into account the terrain variation, plus the existing buildings and an additional centimeter at the bottom, scale 1:500).

The idea is to buy the material at Bauhaus on Monday, so a person from each group can join.

We will have the CNC milling demonstration on Wednesday from 9 to 12 in the computer room A111, so please make sure that all of you have the ready to work landscape file, because we will set the Master Cam file on all models.

See you on Monday to define the necessary material and to organize the purchase. Please make material calculations in advance. Each group will have one day to mill, starting from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th, including weekends if necessary.

Nice weekend,

Ulf & Felipe

151015 MID CRIT TOMORROW

Dear all,

Tomorrow we have our mid review between 11-18. We will be in room A123 and start with group Kista, and then go from north to south along the Tvärbana-route. We will hang on our movable panels, each group can use 2 panels, the room will be open from 10.30 at least.

We will start at 11 (sharp) with 2 groups before lunch (12.30-13.15) and then go on with 3 groups+3 groups with a short break in between. Keep your presentation to about 15 min to allow for a discussion.

See you tomorrow and good luck!

151012 Tomorrow's session

Dear all,

We meet tomorrow at 9:00 in the studio, doing another session on Computational Design.

For the afternoon there will be tutorials with us, as well as structural engineers from Tyréns. So if you have questions regarding structural issues, it'll be a good chance to discuss them.

See you!

151010 Colour schemes

On our server space you can find the colour samples for your maps and diagrams. As said today we all should follow one colour scheme:

services/commercial - red; residential - yellow; public/greenery - green; offices - blue; culture - orange; sports - pink. More colours and shades you can find in the pdf linked below.

151007 The Studio 9 Pavilion will be constructed for the school opening - help needed!

Studio 9 pavilion

Dear all, as you all now, the official opening of the school is on Monday. We have finally received a go ahead to reconstruct the TMT pavilion (Tensioned Modular Triangles), designed by Francesca, Giulia and Felipe last spring, and erected by all studio students. It will be placed in the main space on level 1 - the centerspot of the building. In order to accomplish this, we kindly ask for volunteers. Construction will take place on this Saturday, 10/10, starting at 10.00 (easy to remember). The more we are, the faster progress we will make. For any questions check with Felipe or Francesca - the pavilion parts will be located on site by late Friday afternoon. With enough people, it should be done by late afternoon. Pizzas will be offered.

Since we need to know how many we can expect, please sign up below (just edit and enter your name):

150917 Software preparation

Dear all,

It's soon time to get your gears ready for the year! Please make sure you have Rhino 5 and latest version of Grasshopper installed on your laptops before the Computational Design session on Tuesday 22/9.

Rhino is available both for PC and Mac. You can download a 90-days trial version of Rhino 5 here:

https://www.rhino3d.com/download

Grasshopper is a plug-in for Rhino, and at the moment it runs only on the PC version. So if you have a Macintosh you have to install Rhino in the Windows environment. Grasshopper is free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/download-1

Both Rhino and Grasshopper are installed on the machines in the computer lab. Yet it's better to get your own versions asap, since we will be working with additional plug-ins already from the first session and those are not available on school's computers.

150915 Template for the Design Portfolio

As mentioned on Monday, we ask you to document all your process in a Design Portfolio. For your convienience there is a template for this document, but you are also free to change to your own layout and graphics. We will present the Design Portfolio through examples on Friday, but if you want to use it for the pinup, it is available on the server in the 01_Resources section as a zipped InDesign template file. You can access it through this direct link.

150920 The walk on Älvsjöbågen - the train bridge of Citybanan

Akarta_pilar_550.jpg

As mentioned, this Sunday, September 20th, the new train bridge (passed on today's excursion) will be open for a Sunday walk 11.00 - 15.00. The walk starts at Älvsjö godsbangård (near Västberga allé 61), but there will be shuttle buses from Årstaberg station (reached by tram or commuter train), and you can reach it with bus 165. Entrance is free, and it will only be open this Sunday. Staff will be available for questions.

When opened in 2017, the bridge will be used for north-bound regional, distance and freight traffic, and is linked to the old Årsta railway bridge. It's 1.4 km long, with max height 17 m above ground level, and was produced by a movable form-work shuttle.
