Some ideas about furniture. unMonastery

Hi everybody, 
To introduce myself very quickly i'm Lénaik, a french architecture student (sorry in advance for my poor english).

I work during two months with immaginoteca and i looked for some examples of what can be the furniture at Matera.

This examples are using parametric design which can may be a solution for the Matera living space.
What is important to notice is all the exemples deal with some problems or question wich can be partially solved thanks to the furniture. 

I put belong some pictures and weblinks.Tell me what you think about all this models or add some examples and for sure it will be discuss with the student who work with immaginoteca this week.


“Urban Adapter” - Street furniture family for Hong Kong


[…] the model utilizes explicit site information and programmatic data to react and interact with its environment.


[…] The generated functional surface invites the user to new seating and communication arrangements and establishes a unique identity

DIGITAL DESIGN BENCH


Datas at the beginning of the parametric design give unespected form result, but the most intersting remains the process.


This bench allows mutliple poses thanks to its parametric design and its elastic joining.

The Polymorphic Youth! 


Polymorphic is a kinetic and interactive installation, […] it reacts to pressure exerted by the occupant […] each seating condition was designed according to existing ergonomic profiles in order to maximize comfort and functionality.


[…] The form of the design can likewise be readily adjusted to suit the conditions and contextual requirements of various spaces and environments.

Parametric design can be very usefull and makes possible the building of a complex project.

3d2real-by-ilek-students (Very intereting about privacy questions)


To catch the eye, steer the gaze, and focus attention, […] The system serves as a filter between observer and object. The planar elements of the honeycomb-like structure are oriented at specific angles so that only a portion of the area behind the wall is revealed to the viewer.


Each element of the structure is unique, generated by algorithms based on the location of the wall and the locations of the items exhibited. […] This process was performed using a custom-programmed plug-in for a 3D design software package.

PARAMETRIC LAMP


Through the agency of the software Grasshopper Unit Arkitektur have designed a big lamp for their new office. The lamp is constructed by putting together 103 individual part that have been laser cut from 3 mm birch ply wood. The pieces have been put together without glue.


To go away, light, shadow, luminosity can be finely designed thanks to parametric work.

Awesome stuff!

Hello Lénaik, and welcome. This is truly awesome stuff! I am no designer and could not possibily offer help, but I find these organic forms very poetiic. Let’s see what others think.
