Building Architectural Structures with Augmented Reality | Seminar - BSc./MSc.


Class

In the last few years, the physical world and the digital realm are overlapping ever more easily. Games and services like Pokémon Go and Waze redefine how we act in in the urban settings. Specifically, Augmented Reality provides new ways of not only interacting but shaping our environment. From IKEAs AR App which visualizing furniture from the catalogue as in overlay in your living room, to AR enhanced assembly in factories and laboratories this technology is finding its way to consumers and industries alike.


This seminar will explore the possibilities of utilizing Microsoft Hololens and smartphones in architectural design and construction to bring digital models to reality. We propose the combination of high-tech design and fabrication techniques (AR, 3D Scanning, discrete aggregations, physical simulation) with low-tech and cheap construction materials and tools (concrete blocks without mortar) to build 1:1 construction prototypes of arches and other architectural elements.


An introduction to Fologram, a plug-in to Rhino Grasshopper to integrate the use of Hololens will be offered. Students are encouraged to take part in the dMA Grasshopper skill-drill 27. - 30. September. The seminar will be taught in English.
