Description
University College London at Here East, a new manufacturing center in east London opened in 2018, hosts a new master’s degree in design for manufacture uniquely within a school of architecture. Equipped with industrial robots, computer numerical control (CNC) milling and turning machines for fabrication and structural frames, large-scale metrology, and climate chambers for testing, UCL at Here East strives to cultivate an environment with students at the interface between a design studio and the point of industrial production. How might the well-established methods for manufacturing in automotive and aerospace be used in construction? This session will present an educator’s approach of “model-make-measure,” showing how the course connects students with the properties of materials used to construct buildings and the fabrication processes these materials undergo existing as nominal digital design intent. Examples will show how this approach has suggested novel design outcomes and ways of working, offering skills transferrable to the construction industry.
Key Learnings
- Discover an approach to education.
- Learn how to use software tools for design problems.
- Discover how Fusion 360 analysis tools within a workflow of design to casting.
- Learn about collaborative working on components in an assembly using Fusion Teams.
Speaker
- CLChristopher LeungI trained as an architect at the Bartlett School in London, after gaining registration to practice in the early 2000's I worked on healthcare and commerial buildings and developed an interest in digital tools for coordinating client-briefing with production information. I re-trained as a Research Engineer at the Virtual Environments Imaging and Visualisation doctoral training centre UCL in 2014 investigating digital modeling and simulation for the engineering of passive thermal actuators and mechanisms for variable-performance building facades. Currently I am an educator at the Bartlett School interested in how industrialised manufacturing can be brought into the construction industry and how digital tools can support it. I educate student designers through demonstration case-studies that investigate the use of digital tools to connect design with fabrication processes. I was nominated an East London innovator 2.0 in 2020.
