Idea of Pushpull
has its rise in desire for combine following issues: unique properties of
plastique of surface; non-conventional procedure of fabrication with one
approach; minimal material consumption; and ability to adapt for creation
individual decision. Pushpull is
simultaneously both process and result. Outcome is complexity relief surface
which made of out thin polished aluminum with possibility of flexure with
inverse angle. Implementation
of panels is come of two parts.
First, parametric software allows used several
approach for making relief surface: from images, tapes, vector patterns. After
that we get chain of command for industrial robots.
Second,
core of production platform is combined two robotic arms which operate
simultaneously and coordinated. One of the arms pushes aluminum sheet by means
of special changeable head. Another arm makes local support on the back side of
sheet, which allows sag down and pull out just necessary parts of surface.
This way allow make organic surface, where shape is
accentuated metal glitter of aluminum. At the same time thin aluminum sheet is
shaped compound double curved surface which acquire additional strength of
panel.
