From November 7th to 9th, Rebeca Duque Estrada will lead a workshop at the Facultad de Arquitectura, Artes, Diseño y Oficios Creativos UCT Temuco, Chile. The Workshop: Creando con Fibras is an intensive workshop in which Rebeca will present the parametric plugin she is developing as part of her PhD. The plugin provides tools for the design of fiber structures within the Grasshopper environment.
The workshop proposes a short but intense experience in the universe of digital fiber architecture. During two days of work, the participants will have access to the tools and knowledge to discover the potential of natural fibers as a building material. The workshop starts with a lecture on fibrous architecture, which covers the fundamentals of fiber architecture, followed by a tutorial on the digital plugin developed for the design of fiber structures. On the following day the participants will test their design in small physical prototypes and present their final projects to the group.
