Beginning of 2009 the research group Hyperbody started a hands-on MSc2 track to redesign a new building for the protoSPACE 4.0 lab.
The interactive protoSPACE 4.0 pavilion is custom designed to be a state-of-the art laboratory for the advanced design and fabrication strategies in architecture. The initial design of the Interactive Pavilion was developed and engineered in the hyperBODY Spring 2009 MSC2 studio. Students emulated a project team of six specializations, and over the period of a semester iteratively collaboratively developed their design. Every three weeks, a rapid design ‘BodyCheck’ session which included all stakeholders was held.
A 10% section of the pavilion was manufactured in collaboration with researchers of hyperBODY and engineers of Komplotmechanics, effectively developing a novel approach to the fabrication of large scale free-form volumes which employs CNC hotwire cutters and milling machines.
