A look at the aggregation programming & simulation behind STIK
Initial simulations were run to determine maximum curvature achievable with the STIK system. Alteration of the dispensing angle, velocity, friction and adhesion were calculated in order to provide maximum cantilever.

Some process shots of our installation at the AIJ (Architecture Institute of Japan) for the opening of this year’s Archi-neering Design Exhibition.
The construction of our Pavilion is starting on site. After a week of working on the footings, yesterday we began pouring the first chopsticks.

It’s been a while since we have posted here on our blog.
In the past 9 months, we have been busy developing our new design proposal for this year’s pavilion project which was developed in collaboration with Shimizu Corporation, one of Japan’s major construction company. In the coming days, we will upload images of our current activities and the past events.
Stay tuned.
