Last Summer students of Detmolder Schule were asked to design and realize a temporary space for meetings and parties during the summer semester. The result is BOXEL, a pavillion completely realised by assembling thousands of beer boxes borrowed from a local brewery. The project was developed within a digital design course using parametric software in order to define the position of single elements in relation with the overall geometry of the structure. Load bearing tests and simulations of structural performance were made in the university's laboratory of material research using FEM software. Beer boxes will be recycled after the dismissal of the structure and returned brewery which supplied them.
Finally we have digital design exercises exhibited in Milan too!
A parametric strip made up of 11.000 laser-cut cardboard pieces by in.de.x lab is exhibited at Politecnico together with of other form-finding experiments such as free form shells, isostatic waffles, voronoi and branching systems 3d-printend prototypes.
