B1 RESEARCH FIELD | PATTERNING

Patterning is Patterning in architecture has always been associated with ornamentation. According to Farshid Moussavi, ornamen-tation can occur within different classifica-tions; 1) Depth - as a building’s form, structure, screen or surface2) Material - including materiality that are both visible and invisible, such as program and 3) Affect - the interplay between both depth and material.

By using digital tools, patterns can be used beyond decoration to create self-sup-porting structures using differentiated ele-ments applied in repetitive behaviour. This part-to-whole relationship is why pattern-ing is a very versatile design technique.

B3 CASE STUDY 2.0

Voussoir Cloud is an installation structure made of three-dimensional “petals” made of thin folded wood laminate. The petals are meant to work like the voussoir modules that make up a traditional vault. The tectonic system therefore becomes both mass-modular and lightweight.

The project conveys how patterns can be generated out of structural necessity and based on material properties. The arrangement of petals and the voids that occur in beetween creates a self-supporting pattern that lets in light into the room, therefore act-ingn as surface, screen and structure all at once.
