Is it possible to imagine new ways for conceiving every-day objects like furniture? Is a CAD palette the only possible human-computer interface for designers? Oyster chair offers a look into the future of modeling, which has the potential to be much more intuitive and artful.

The article describes and interprets from a geometric point of view the shapes’ inventions of domes, through Guarini’s treatises, using 3D modelling. It also recognizes these shapes in some guarinian buildings.

This paper has the scope to test digital computing as a tool to explore the qualities of urban design and patterns in modern city neighborhoods. The long-term research question is to develop a comparative matrix between traditional urban design categories (urban density, road geometries, public-private space, housing typologies) and the possibility to identify new computational categories after proposing some tests on selected case studies. The tests will compare two neighborhoods Quartiere delle Vittorie (1921, 28,000 inhabitants) in Rome and Lalezar (1925, 28,000 inhabitants) in Teheran. The study will propose original digital drawings and comparative analysis on the science cases.

The inclusion of design objects or artworks in the information model of a building today involves the selection and inclusion of loadable families. But the artistic object can also be modeled as a family internal to the project file (in-place model), revealing the potential of an integrated approach between BIM and Design.

This work illustrates a parametric design experience of a temporary pavilion, designed to adapt to different types of pre-existence by modifying its formal and functional characteristics accordingly.

The research carried out is based on the definition of an algorithm managed with Grasshopper, assembled specifically to elaborate the project and its iterations; the algorithm allows to obtain geometries and analytical data in real time, reducing to a few hours a process that would instead take weeks with traditional methods.

The works of temporary transformable architecture and, specifically, the pavilion-type give the possibility to conjugate, in both conception and simulation, geometric and structural aspects. The prototype carried out is based on a kit-of-parts system of structural nodes and bars, easy to assemble and disassemble. By minimizing the variety of structural elements it is possible to contain costs, thanks to mass production, and to maintain a great freedom of formal expression.

Modelling is based on the intersection between an ideally unlimited spatial lattice system and a context-dependent volume of containment. The basic geometries, ie points, segments and triangles, are organized into groups of data and then statically analyzed.

This theme was addressed following some reflections on the shared features of temporary architecture, noting that usually you come across pavilions with extremely short life, or mobile architectures that do not allow modifications. The task was to approach an architectural object that was not temporally, spatially or formally limited.
