PROJECT MATRIX BENV7813 Contemporary Fabrication Techniques Ben Shen Z5243949 1. Metropol Parasol Key Concept The first architectural precedent I chose is Metropol Parasol which is designed by Mayer H. Architects and engineered by Arup in Saville, Spain. There are three reasons choosing this specific precedent for fabrication. Firstly, this project extended the possibility by pushing the plywood, steel and glue further to create the one of biggest timber structure in the world (ARCHITECT). Therefore, the exploration of plywood proportion is expected to achieve in this fabrication process. Secondly, this project highly depends on the digital design. This mean I also could be familiar with these digital processes to create such an intersection structure. Finally, the main structure of this project is made of plywood which is shaped by CNC-milled. This fabrication technology also is introduced in this course. In other word...
