An Organized Chaos
An Organized Chaos
A computationally designed wall installation
Choahexa is an exploration and implementation of computational processes in designing a wall installation that results in an organized chaos.
When geometry follows natural principles or laws in the design process, it formalizes a personality and a behavior on its own. It evolves into something much more mature than we can ever draw. It starts to communicate with a different language and invents new typology of patterns that revolutionizes the typical geometry and patterns we have created in the past decades.
Often times in nature, the collages of different systems are found but we struggle to understand or define it due to our sciences limitations. Once we understand it, analyze it, and apply those principles to design, we start to invent a new style or category of design. A style where geometry break-free from all of the restraining boundaries it ever lived within.
Chaohexa has been completely designed through computational methods. It is a dynamic piece that lives to capture a moment when geometry is dynamic and under the influence of physics forces to evolve into something new. Even though it's a solid piece made out of solid material, there is an intensive movement and different depths that are being created in the piece through an extremely sophisticated algorithm. The different depths, heights and sizes of the piece are planned changes that are achieved through mathematical equations to achieve the desired outcome.
Chaohexa has been inspired by natural forces that exists in nature and some of these visual physics interpretations exists in the Cosmos all around us.
The above images are all taken from https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/multimedia/index.html. I do not own the intellectual properties for any of these pictures.
The following diagrams below show the sum of all the pieces that were laser cut on mdf boards of (2.4m x 1.2m). There are a total of 15 boards that make the 3,672 unique pieces that makes a total of 409 cells.
the below photographs were captured at the 2018 Tasmeemfair Exhibition in
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Below is the image of the entire script that designed, produced the CAD documentations and helped with the assembly process
The below images shows some of the process images through the fabrication and assembly process. All of the pieces were glued by hand with white glue and toothpicks to apply the glue gently to all the 3,672 unique pieces.
The Assembly process toke around 300-400 hours of gluing.
There are plenty of people that helped with the process of creating Chaohexa and I am forever thankful to their help for the enormous efforts they put into this piece:
