GOMMAdesign: from digital surfaces to physical objects, a prototypation process

A prototipation process to build a software defined surface, of ideally whatever the shape, using standardized rectangular stripes of flexible material. Following an in-office information session on plank lines geometry, we focused on the possibility to describe a whatever complex surface taking advantage of the planar characteristics of plank lines. The goal of this short [...]

GOMMAdesign: a parametric pine tree for PontèPigneto competition

One of the main elements of our proposal for PontèPigneto competition was a solar-paneled canopy inspired by the shape of the Maritime Pine tree, a very common landmark here in Rome (for detailed info and images about our proposal please read this post). Hence we started looking at the beautiful structures created by recursive branching [...]
