Slipstream Pavilion / David A. Palmieri & Kyle M. Schillaci

Slipstream is an exploration of the pavilion architecture typology. The concept was inspired by the drawings of Lebbeus Woods (as interpretations of Leonardo Da Vinci’s original experiments). The phenomenon of slipstreaming is described by Mr. Woods as, “a highly dynamic space active with forces that impel a direction that moves, together with the moving body continuously creating it…”. His thoughts opened up a dialog within our group of multi-disciplinary design students.

It was agreed to pursue a design influenced by existing, high-traffic, pathways, and conceptually intrigued by the moving of people through a larger body of space. The idea of creating both a material change, and an immaterial shift of atmosphere, around the user, was an interpretation of the mind experiencing a transformation of surroundings (i.e. Visual/conceptual turbulence). The goal of this discourse was to create an aesthetically pleasing and conceptually thought provoking pavilion. The design process also revolved around exploring and translating digital design methodologies into a physical manifestation.

Parametric design allowed the pavilion to be designed and controlled by fluid relationships. By linking the parameters of site attractors, surface area, allowable height restrictions, and fabrication limitations, we had a considerable amount of freedom with form generation and aesthetics. This included exploring the differences between density and porosity and the use of light as a medium.

The design process began planimetrically, exploring a plane populated by a network of points. This plane evolved into a surface, which was ultimately subdivided on the basis of a desired number of u/v values. These values, or points, were further used to create a field of vectors. When applied to a surface, the vectors became spatial, conveying directionality. Each vector’s lineage could be traced to its location in relation to attractor points placed at prevalent local site conditions. Each attractor had an influence on the both the length and direction of each vector, making the influence of site conditions vital to the density and directionality of the slipstream.

Following the creation of the vectors, they were projected onto the desired surface, creating unique spatial conditions. These conditions were both variable and fluid, given the fact that the changing of any of the coded relationship could drastically alter the expression of the design. The digital control allowed the design process to develop iteratively. Each iteration of the slipstream became informative of future transformations. Various iterations produced a clearer logic of structure, while others offered a more desirable aesthetic. The ability to change parameters resulted in a compelling search, or selection, of which variation portrayed our design ideas in the most successful way. Once the desired clarity was established, a subsurface was determined by an offset and digital manipulation of the main structure. The resulting density of exterior structural slipstream was projected onto the subsurface, resulting in a relational transparency.

Used CNC Routers – Which One is Best? | CNC engraving machine

If you are currently on the market for used CNC routers then you can end up bewildered at the options that you face. Questions such as what features do I need? Is the quality good enough? Will this machine suit my own needs? Are all questions that you may have been asking yourself.

Whether you are searching for a used CNC router or used CNC milling machines, there are many quality products available today. In the past it was hard to find the exact type of machine for a particular job, but that time has now passed as there many companies offering a whole range of different products.

Companies such as Rockler, Zen Toolworks, K2 CNC and CarveWright are all at the forefront of the CNC router revolution. The machines that these companies make are of the highest quality and people all over the world have graced their workshop with their products.

When you are looking for used CNC routers there are a few important factors to keep in mind that will help you make the right buying choice.

Ease of Use

Most used CNC routers for sale will offer the latest hi tech computer controlled features. This means that when you use the machine you can get it to make wood projects that are to your exact requirements. It has never been easier to make things with such speed and accuracy.

Variety

If you are a full time woodworker then you will most likely deal with a lot of different wood projects. Things such as making doors, signs, tables and chairs all require different tools for the job. Most CNC routers will give you this variety with their range of different features.

Long Lasting

Look for machines that are made from the highest quality steel and high density poly-ethylene. These materials are built to last and can take anything that you throw at it. As we all know, accidents always happen in the workshop and it is good to be prepared with high quality construction.

Great Software

Designing your wood project is as easy as connecting the router to your computer and then making your designs in a simple to use fashion. It really is easy to make fantastic designs with this top of the range technology.
