Taleof tiles : Marble migration
Tri Angulation
A project made during the course of the studio MATERIALITY IN COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN Through iterative design, fabrication, and assembly, this project showcases how computationally informed design is translated into material outcomes using ceramic processes, emphasizing craftsmanship, adaptability, and performance in the built environment.

Method of Fabrication :
Press casting of stoneware clay
• Yields stronger results.
• Faster production than slip casting.
• PLA printed mould was more resilient than a PoP mould.

Tri Angulation
ASem1exploration into computational design, this projectinvestigates how rule-based modificationscan transformthe structural andgeometric behaviour of the equilateral triangle. Throughiterative aggregation and material experimentation, the design evolvesto balance form, stability, andload distribution.
Modification of the base equilateral shape by introducing bends on the edges, with varied angles and creating iterations.

Karamba Analysis
All iterations and flipped counter parts were analysed.
The ones with the least amount of displacement was selected for the next phase ofform exploration.

Load : 2kN at the bent Support : at the vertices
The frame was flipped and attached at the vertices and bent points
The resulting components were analysed with different combinations of attaching the wires.
