A renovation of an old gas station into a biergarten (translation: beer garden) by R+L is now open for business in Brooklyn, just in time for summer (and of course Oktoberfest). Go check out Loreley if you’re in the Williamsburg neighborhood.
The waviness in the background is a hand-built parametric undulating brick wall. Hopefully I can now dig-up the definition and post it…

A (top secret) project in the very early stages, using quick GH studies for both rationalization of the structure and modeling of ETFE pillows and their frames.
More on this later when it gets off the ground…

Gallery installation designed and fabricated in collaboration with SOFTlab.
Laser cutter utility definition to section a blob, project registration lines from layers above or below, hollow out the sections, label each piece from each section and lay out the sections (mirroring the sections from below) in a grid. Blob by Maya.
The definition has neither been cleaned up, nor annotated with the intention of others using it. Buyer beware.
Until I add documentation see here for some screenshots of the definition in action.

Brick wall designed in collaboration with R+L.
A definition to define a guide surface with double curvature and key individual brick rotations to the geometry. The system is modular with two unit types. Vertical plum lines for construction occur where the module pairs meet and the 20th course of bricks is completely horizontal. All other bricks have individually unique rotations with a maximum of 15 degrees.
