Chebydesic Pavilion
Sep. 2021
The Chebydesic Pavilion built during the 2021 edition is an original concept combining active bending structures with Chebyshev networks, geodesics, Voss surfaces and nexorade.
Building freeform 2019
Sep. 2019
The 2019 edition illustrates the research on constructive geometry through the construction of a wooden caravel mesh.
Arch design 2018
Oct. 2018
In this hands-on introduction to masonry structures and graphic statics, students design and build a full-scale masonry arch out of foam plates.
Construire le courbe 2018
Sep. 2018
Début imminent de l'atelier 2018, centré sur la construction en bois, la conception sous contraintes, l'analyse des structures, et la mise en pratique de ces notions sur un ouvrage expérimental.
Building freeform 2017
Sep. 2017
This edition exploits the new robotic manufacturing cell and address main complex structures constraints: connections, flatness of panels and formal freedom.
Fold me a shelter
Aug. 2017
Origami techniques were the seed for designing light shelters made of extruded polystyrene, where folding provides structural properties to thin shells.
Building freeform 2016
Sep. 2016
Everything changes for this edition of the workshop dedicated to double curved structures. Realization of a full scale wooden gridshell is foreseen.
Robotised shell and arches
Mar. 2016
The ENPC hosted its first robotic workshop revisiting the classic notions of funicular arches and stereotomy in the light of digital design and fabrication.
Cardboard Footbridge 2016
Mar. 2016
Through the design and construction of a 6m span cardboard footbridge, students investigate corrugated and honeycomb cardboard strength and versatility.
Building freeform 2015
Sep. 2015
Enthousiastic edition with three large and successfull pavilions: a gigantic membrane, an orange elastic gridshell and a convincing torsion free doubly curved grid.
Arch Design
