Structure made with Augmented Reality

FlowMorph is a research project developed in Bartlett School of Architecture. They departed and elaborate on the idea of Mixed Reality (MR) Assisted Manufacturing (MRM) for highly complex
geometry which can neither be effectively managed manually by the fabricator nor by simple conventional robotic fabrication (Brugnaro and Hanna, 2017), proposed an MR+Simulation workflow using a CFD solver. The proposed fabrication process explore a specific material- Polycaprolactone (Polymorph)- researching and developing a combination of specific digital simulation methods to assist the exploration of the material in question in the production of an eventual artifact.
This augmentation in the making process affords intuitive exploration in the interlaced making and designing - an enhanced reflection in the design practice. The aim of the research is inspired by the increase
in new design tools and practices. Since the methods which architects produce the design are no longer expected to be limited to a simple process, this exercise confronts the complexity of using digital and physical protocols to explore the use of adaptive ’unexpectedness’ of the digital generative design, relating to previous research on design ’glitches’ as a trigger for further critical production and novelty (Austin, 2017). The idea of ’material templating’ as a key step in the design project demands a closer coupling of a ’make-simulate’ feedback system in reflective practice. In this particular project, the plastic used leads to investigate a wide variety of applications of plastic in highly digitalized design.
