Fused Tectonics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781300545590)

FUSED TECTONICS INTEGRATES GENERATIVE FABRICATION TECHNIQUES WITH MATERIAL BEHAVIOURS AND ITS COMPUTATIONAL, GEOMETRICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN THE SEARCH OF ALTERNATIVE DESIGN METHODOLOGIES. THE INVESTIGATION EXPLORES THE CONSTANT DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE INNATE PROPERTIES OF A MATERIAL AND THE DESIGN INTENTS. FUSED TECTONICS IS A CONTINUATION OF AN ONGOING RESEARCH THAT EXPLORES THE POTENTIALS OF GLUE AS A RHEOLOGICAL MATERIAL IN ARCHITECTURE. THE RHEOLOGICAL MATERIAL IS A HOMOGENEOUS AND JOINTLESS MATERIAL CAN VARY ITS FORM FROM A SINGLE STRAND TO SURFACE TO A SOLID MASS. THIS EXPERIMENTAL AND PROCESS DRIVEN INVESTIGATION IS ORIENTED TOWARDS DEVELOPING A BUILDING PROTOTYPE THAT IS A RESULT OF DISCOVERING ALTERNATIVE SHAPING LOGICS AND TECTONIC MORPHOLOGIES. FABRICATION TECHNIQUES WILL BE TESTED AGAINST THE VAULT, AS AN ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENT DEALING WITH STRUCTURE AND AESTHETICS.
