“…Destacase principalmente o sistema S-Joint que, por sua simplicidade formal, é constituído por um número menor de peças, o que facilita a parametrização da geometria. Esse sistema foi utilizado também na elaboração de geometrias curvas (Mendonça et al, 2018), o que demonstra as maiores vantagens desse encaixe.…”

“…Experiências posteriores também testaram possibilidades do sistema construtivo da Wikihouse: proposição de módulo com geometrias curva e adaptações do sistema de encaixes (Mendonça et al 2018) também desenvolvido no LAMO3D UFRJ; adaptação ao contexto ambiental brasileiro (Branco et al, 2017); adaptação ao sistema de habitação social no Brasil (Nardelli, Backheuser, 2016;Rocha, et al, 2021), estudos sobre autoconstrução (Nardelli & Pereira, 2017), adaptação de encaixes do sistema construtivo (Almeida et al 2021); e testes de resistência para otimização de número de peças do sistema (Campolongo & Vicente, 2018). Em 2018, o grupo de pesquisa Nó na Universidade Federal de Viçosa, desenvolveu um protótipo de Wikihouse cujo principal objetivo era otimizar o número de peças, com o intuito de reduzir o custo e o tempo de fabricação e montagem do módulo, já apontados por vários autores como limitações para a escalabilidade do sistema.…”

Wikihouse is an open-source, modular, digitally fabricated building system. Despite being the object of many studies in different countries, most of these experiences present a sequence of frames that generate only linear forms without formal variations. In this sense, this study aims to develop a geometry that allows more variations through the repetition of the same module. For this purpose, the research uses visual algorithmic modeling in Grasshopper to generate the geometry. As a result, we inserted the frames into a trapezium and mirrored the main profile, which kept the number of pieces. In future research, we intend to optimize the number of parts, reduce the cost and production time, and build a 1:1 module for validating its constructive stability.

“…Created by Alastair Parvin and Nick Ierodiaconou in 2011, they claim that this system is efficient, robust, and carbon-neutral [23]. Additionally, despite its application being limited to orthogonal geometry and the need to create new pieces to fit the design models and regulations of a specific location [24], the system has been recognized for its fundamental role in the development and execution of buildings using subtractive digital fabrication equipment [25]. Consequently, many modular projects remain in the conceptual stage due to the need for expensive licenses or permits for physical development.…”

The primary objective of this study is to formulate a comprehensive digital and physical model, at a scaled level, for a social housing unit utilizing the open-source Wikihouse system. The construction industry is currently grappling with the dual challenges of a real estate crisis and climate change. In response to this scenario, the integration of industrialized methods in construction processes is advocated to enhance the overall quality of the end product, streamline construction timelines, and curtail production costs. The algorithm developed for this purpose leverages Rhino and Grasshopper programs, thereby optimizing material efficiency when compared to traditional individual pieces. Noteworthy among the features of the Wikihouse system is its remarkable versatility, allowing implementation in diverse locations. This flexibility stems from its efficient assembly characteristics, which liberate it from the constraints of rigid modular structures, contributing significantly to architectural design flexibility. The paramount finding of this research is the demonstrated efficiency of the proposed system, requiring 44% less time compared to conventional construction practices and exhibiting a commendable 29% reduction in costs. These outcomes position the Wikihouse-based approach as an appealing and competitive alternative within the real estate sector.

“…Segundo Nardelli e Backheuser (2016), trata-se do sistema construtivo desenvolvido em 2011, pelo escritório de design e arquitetura Studio 00, utiliza código aberto (Open Source) e possui uma licença creative-commons associada ao seu uso. Baseado em pórticos formados a partir de componentes encaixados, fabricados em painéis de madeira e cortados em fresadoras CNC (Computer Numeric Control), tal sistema é viabilizado pelo uso de parametrização e softwares (Mendonça et al, 2018). O grande diferencial da Wikihouse é o sistema de montagem, que preza pela rapidez, utilizando na maioria das conexões somente encaixes (Secchi, 2019).…”

The academy aims to understand and insert digital technologies in the collaborative, interdisciplinary and innovative process. Thus, the process of this project aims to develop an itinerant space that enables integration between academics and the community, associated with digital technologies, making it essential as a precursor of knowledge, innovation and social well-being. Based on concepts from Smart City and Smart Campus, as it addresses a phenomenon of development intrinsic to technological processes in pursuit of environmental quality, it appropriates of digital manufacturing tools as a programmatic production model. Inspired by the generation of physical objects from digital models along the lines of Wikihouse, a modular architectural executive method was developed as an alternative for flexibility and movement. At the end of the process, there is the conception of the TEC-House, idealized as an itinerant modular space, based on anthropometric parameters where function determines the way they integrate, constituting modifying places.
