METHODS: (1) Wall / Structure / Columns (2) Parametrize drawing (3) Design / Nature (4) CAD/CAM – STRUCTURE FABRICATION (5) STRUCTURE CONSTRUTION - wood rings, wood joints, sisal and reeds (6) Coat with local earth rolls
The EarthGridReeds consisted in changing the technical construction of the EarthGridXPS. The drawing was based on the design of test 01 (postgraduation final project). Since is based in parametric system, has been amended only in some parameters - diameter, height and direction. The structure was divided into five structural rings joined by reeds, suggesting this way the final shape. The wooden rings were manufactured in CNC - digital fabrication. The reeds and clay were extracted from the site. The roll technique was used to finish the structure, culminating in a final design intended to transmitan organic aspect.
