<p>Il progetto Fiber shelter nasce dall&#8217;idea di proporre un progetto altamente integrato con l&#8217;ambiente del Parco arte vivente di Torino, relativamente alle sue qualità spaziali e di fruizione.</p>
<p>La proposta è quindi quella di determinare un sistema che ha la possibilità di diffondersi all&#8217;interno del parco.<br />
Questo tipo di strategia potrebbe inoltre essere utilizzata per inserire futuri interventi mantenendo coerenza distributiva.<br />
La struttura dello shelter si avvale di una tecnologia che permette la realizzazione di strutture fibrose e in grado di definire una struttura rigida , facilmente montabile.<br />
Il materiale e la tecnologia ipotizzata è <a title="SplineTEX" href="http://www.supertex.at/?page_id=16&amp;lang=EN" target="_blank">splineTEX</a>® Carbon, un materiale composito in plastica fibrorinforzata che permette di creare strutture leggere e resistenti senza la necessità di costosi processi di piegatura.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-1248" title="plan" src="http://www.co-de-it.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/plan.jpg" alt="" width="661" height="464" /></p>
<p>La struttura primaria è costituita da un doppio livello di elementi tubolari interconnessi ai quali si andrà successivamente ad agganciare una struttura secondaria di fibre più fini. Alla struttura primaria si aggancia inoltre un ulteriore livello di fibre di carbonio le quali una volta trattate con apposite resine diventeranno parte integrante della struttura.<br />
Le fibre sono distribuite secondo un gradiente che dipende dalla curvatura della superficie di proliferazione: si infittiscono nelle aree dove la curvatura è maggiore, rappresentando le parti più deboli della struttura.<br />
Il sistema definisce una struttura rigida altamente resistente dove l&#8217;infittimento determina un modello statico ridondante, in cui i vincoli tra gli elementi sono molti più di quelli minimi necessari per determinare un struttura rigida.<br />
Questa strategia è presente in molti sistemi naturali: il surplus di elementi aumenta la resilienza del sistema, rendendolo in grado di rispondere complessivamente in maniera migliore a sollecitazioni di natura imprevedibile; inoltre rende ogni singolo elemento non indispensabile, per cui eventuali lesioni manifestatesi in un elemento specifico non andranno a compromettere l&#8217;integrità complessiva del sistema.<br />
L&#8217;utilizzo di fibre di carbonio è stato scelto sia per le elevate caratteristiche meccaniche del materiale, sia per l&#8217;economicità del materiale e sia per la bassissima manutenzione che tale tipo di struttura richiede dopo la messa in opera.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-1247" title="Tav 2" src="http://www.co-de-it.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Tav-2.jpg" alt="" width="799" height="410" /></p>
<p>Il pattern di densità definisce inoltre la transizione tra spazi più aperti e permeabili ad altri in cui la variazione delle fibre crea una maglia densa, influenzando e dando così una nuova gerarchia di ombreggiamento (e quindi temperatura) e permeabilità (accessi) all&#8217;interno del proprio spazio e campo di influenza esterno.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Nature has a mathematical and algorithmic bottom. Or, better, math and algorithms provide a key to describe and reproduce natural processes of morphogenesis. Mathematic is a linking principle that weaves together artists, physicians and mathematicians of course.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">More to that extent, beauty also has a mathematic bottom: throughout history many great artists realized that math was the key to unlock higher levels of complexity in their expression and technique, from ancient Greeks to our present day, rigorous exploration coupled with a personal universe of sensibilities. It seems that we are witnessing an interest for math in bridging disciplines belonging in origin to science and/or art: such intensity has a precedent only in the Baroque, when tremendous progresses of science and philosophy triggered a fruitful exploration of complexity and continuity both in space and expression: the use of complex curves, ellipses, platonic solids and derived rules. Looking at the ceiling of Borromini’s S. Carlo alle Quattro Fontane in Rome what we see is parametric tessellation in action, self-similar components forming a continuous surface. The same process was explored several centuries later also by M.C. Escher, challenging Borromini’s spatial complexity on a pure perceptive level, still with the same underlying strong basis in mathematic principles that drive geometry.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Designing panels is something that deals with the issue of tessellation, the discretization of the continue through components. These panels are an exploration of mathematical algorithms applied, through parametric design in Rhinoscript and Grasshopper, to a new 3-dimensional production technique for DuPont Corian®. Even though each panel gravitates around one dominating principle, they surely embed more than one: each of them is a narration of a particular generative process, but reversing the direction that goes from a process to its generated form, it is true that forms can be descriptive of many processes. For example the Penrose tiling, the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio are intricately related and they should be considered as different aspects of the same phenomenon.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the more interesting aspects in our design exploration is the application of algorithms through parametric strategies to generate modulations, oscillations between stable states, (rather than an unvaried repetition) and balance them with issues of seamless tiling within a square-angled framed component, material logic and production techniques.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Additional info:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">. Corian® 3D Math Serie is made of 6 different panels, each inspired from a mathematic principle or the mathematician who gave his name to the principle. Those panels are shown here in alphabetical order: Fibonacci, Fourier, Gauss, Moiré, Phyllotaxis, Voronoi.</p>
