Isosurface Facade Prototypes from Anne Steinkogler on Vimeo.
IsoPrototyping marks the foundations of a continuous research initiative, undertaken at the Institute for Experimental Architecture Hochbau in Innsbruck, within the context of the Specialization in Engineering − ‘Vertiefung Hochbau’ course. Through the case study of an isosurface spatial configuration, this research targets the exploration of innovative digital prototyping methodologies that would allow rapid and cost-efficient fabrication capable of manufacturing any given double curved surface. The ABB industrial robots of REX-Lab programmed in combination with custom designed, surface-producing apparatus, formed the framework for a proficient, yet flexible, process describing and fabricating implicit non-linear systems.
