.NB COSTA LOUNGE

Developed from ‘Costa’ minimal surfaces, this design incorporates sitting, lighting and storage into an elegant unit suitable for waiting lounges. Sleeves for magazines and newspapers are incorporated into the pads while a lighting fixture, placed in the central part of the structure, adds a glowing ambiance to the design.

The Costa minimal surface was plotted in Wolfram Mathematica, after which the geometry was imported into McNeel Rhinoceros for further manipulation.

The design allows for various plan layouts of the lounge system.

YME is a finalist in the AADRL.TEN Competition

drl10_01_thumb

The AADRL.TEN Competition was organized in October by the AA Design Research Lab (DRL) to rethink and celebrate its 10th anniversary. More than 30 proposals were submitted by postDRL designers. YME has been selected as one of the 5 finalists with their parametrically generated pavilion.

This proposal aims to capture 10 years of DRL explorations of new forms of design thinking in a realized tangible structure. The pavilion presents itself as a non-orientable manifold where there is no clear distinction between inside and outside. It offers a unique and intriguing spatial experience that will serve as a teaching instrument for the academic community. The design pushes the structural properties of fiber-C by proposing an innovative use of this material as a modular, self-supporting assembly.

The shape of the pavilion is mathematically generated by combining the properties of two non-orientable manifolds, the klein bottle and mobius strip. The pavilion measures 10×7x4 meters and is intended to be a freestanding structure without anchoring to the ground.

The curved surface of the manifold is constructed out of plannar fi ber-C panels that are folded into parallelepipeds forming ‘cells’ that are connected together to form the curvature. Paracloud software is used to populate the geometry with components. More information about the competition can be found at
