Air filled membrane structure room sprayed by mechanical arm
Artificial Intelligence | Hybrid Workshop | Chinese | Asia-Pacific
Description:
Key Words: structural design,air membrane room,material technology,mechanical arm
Required Skills: Advanced grasshopper
Required Software: Rhino
Required Hardware: PC,Mac
Maximum number of participating students: No limitation (depends on the capacity of Zoom meeting room)
In this course, a room is constructed by means of spraying a quick setting polymer building material on the surface of an inflatable air membrane with a mechanical arm, and an intelligent construction method integrating a variety of construction technologies and design software is discussed.

Through parametric design, the possibility of building shape customized by users is studied. The influence of polyurethane density, material composition, setting time and other building material properties on spray construction is studied. The shape of air membrane is determined by hand-held 3D scanner, and the structural thickness is calculated in real time. The variable section strength of the same material is determined by 3D structural software, and the accuracy guarantee of mechanical arm construction method is studied. Finally, through the integration of a variety of building technologies, the technical possibility of mass customization of products and buildings can be achieved.

Expected outcomes: complete an air membrane room with variable cross-section with a diameter of about 5m.
