“…To our knowledge, the majority of studies discussed the immediate production of architectural elements. Elements such as façade panels and footbridge components were the subject of investigations [22,23], but not architectural molds from which architectural elements can be cast using other materials. Our investigation of architectural mold fabrication therefore adds a new component to this body of knowledge.…”

Until recently, digital fabrication research in architecture has aimed to eliminate manufacturing errors. However, a novel notion has just been established—intentional computational infidelity. Inspired by this notion, we set out to develop means than can transform the errors in fabrication from an undesired complication to a creative opportunity. We carried out design experiment-based investigations, which culminated in the construction of a framework enabling fundamental artistic explorations of erroneous geometric features of robotically formed molds. The framework consists of digital processes, assisting in the explorations of mold errors, and physical processes, enabling the inclusion of physical feedback in digital explorations. Other complementary elements embrace an implementation workflow, an enabling digital toolset and a visual script demonstrating how imprecise artistic explorations can be included within the computational environment. Our framework application suggests that the exploration of geometrical errors aids the emergence of unprecedented design features that would not have arisen if error elimination were the ultimate design goal. Our conclusion is that welcoming error into the design process can reinstate the role of art, craft, and material agency therein. This can guide the practice and research of architectural computing onto a new territory of esthetic and material innovation.

“…Aluminium 5005H14 was chosen, as it provided a good balance between formability, forming speed, initial thickness and initial hardness. In comparison to previous research demonstrators (Nicholas et al, 2016), a higher fixed speed could be used in order to ensure faster production without risking a significantly higher amount of material failures. This choice of material also impacted the design, where the average wall angle of the rigidisation pattern and other geometries was increased from previous prototypes.…”

“…The impact within the simulation is to add significant variation to information that would more usually be simplified and made uniform. Where previous research at CITA has explored a sequential approach to the definition of shapes and features at different scales, [18], this project has implemented a parallel approach [11]. A custom tree hierarchy class is used to establish geometry-data coupling and support continuity of information flow [15].…”

This paper will discuss the role of simulation in extended architectural design modelling. As a framing paper, the aim is to present and discuss the role of integrated design simulation and feedback between design and simulation in a series of projects under the Complex Modelling framework. Complex Modelling examining how methods from the parallel disciplines engineering and computer science can broaden our practices and transfer central information modelling concepts and tools. With special focus on new hybrid structural morphologies and material fabrication, we ask how to integrate material performance, engage with high degrees of interdependency and allow the emergence of design agency and feedback between the multiple scales of architectural construction. This paper presents examples for integrated design simulation from a series of projects including Lace Wall, A Bridge Too Far and Inflated Restraint developed for the research exhibition Complex Modelling, Meldahls Smedie Gallery, Copenhagen in 2016. Where the direct project aims and outcomes have been reported elsewhere, the aim for this paper is to discuss overarching strategies for working with design integrated simulation.
