847403 SE Ausgewählte Themen der Architektur: Twisted Forms

Twisted forms are present throughout our surroundings—from nature to human-made objects and architecture. In this seminar course, we study these forms and their functions, taking inspiration from nature to design twisted architectural forms. Together, we will learn how to design such forms digitally and fabricate them using digital and physical methods.

Contents:

The content of this course includes the fundamental applications of twist in architecture. After a general overview of the definition of twist and its manifestations in nature, art, and architecture, we will explore strategies for generating twisted forms. The course then transitions to experimentation, where participants create twisted forms in both digital and physical environments. The final outcome will be designed objects at various scales and with diverse functionalities.
