LY-OK draft

We began working together in 2013 in Stuttgart as exchange students for the ICD & ITKE Studio where we designed the winning concept and fabrication technique of the ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion 2013-14. Since then, we have collaborated on various research pavilions and projects. We started a consulting group focused on fabrication setups and parametric systems for work-flow optimization. Since then we have also offered complex modelling services with focus on model-making for exhibitions and prototyping.
We worked and developed software for various research projects at the ICD and ITKE at the University of Stuttgart and motion design projects such as “100 Years of Sindelfingen” Daimler Anniversary Event and the Hannover Messe 2016. We have also offered courses and code-based consultancies for Rhinoceros and Grasshopper to firms and schools in Colombia, Czech Republic, and Germany.

Built projects

ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion 13/14

The Institute for Computational Design (ICD) and the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) of the University of Stuttgart have constructed another bionic research pavilion. The project is part of a successful series of research pavilions which showcase the potential of novel design, simulation and fabrication processes in architecture. The project was planned and constructed within one and a half years by students and researchers within a multi-disciplinary team of architects, engineers and biologists. The focus of the project is a parallel bottom-up design strategy for the biomimetic investigation of natural fiber composite shells and the development of novel robotic fabrication methods for fiber reinforced polymer structures. The aim was the development of a winding technique for modular, double layered fiber composite structures, which reduces the required formwork to a minimum while maintaining a large degree of geometric freedom. Therefore, functional principles of natural lightweight structures were analyzed and abstracted in cooperation with the University of Tübingen and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Through the development of a custom robotic fabrication method, these principles were transferred into a modular prototype pavilion.

In the Living Matter Studio taught by guest professors Leyla Yunis and Ondrej Kyjanek students looked into natural structures and processes and used biomimetics as a tool in creating innovative objects and concepts.

Polygreens is a sustainable nature inspired modular indoor planting system which bings fresh supplements as Microgreens in our homes to support mental health and good nutrition. The system helps to develop a tighter relation with the microgreens and to integrate them easily for longterm in their daily life. Polygreens consists of several parts that all form a perfect portion for a person. The clay moduls allows to play and arrange them depending of mood, need or space. The clay helps to keep the seeds moistured and works as a natural water indicator.

The conceptual bike helmet MoPRO breaks new ground in several aspects. As a sustainable alternative to conventional helmets, which are made of a variety of different inseparable plastics, MoPRO consistent recyclable follows the 100% monomaterial approach – so the product can be economically recycled in one piece. Functionally, the helmet focuses on the widest possible application: it is designed to fit any head size. The balancing act between adjustability, safety, comfort and resource efficiency is made possible by a novel air cushion inside the helmet shell, which at the same time acts as an adjustment mechanism and cushioning in the case of a crash. The size can be adjusted by a pump bellow integrated into the helmet.

PUR TAP is a water purifier made of bio materials for daily use. It removes residues of heavy metals and chemicals from tap water to make the CO2 emissions caused by plastic bottles unnecessary. The slip-casted filter is made out of clay and charcoal. When fired, the charcoal burns out and leaves fine pores that are also able to filter bacteria and viruses. As the water needs to go through the surface in order to get filtered, we increased the surface 75% to accelerate the process. The filter is able to purify up to 700ml per hour.
