Deployment animation.
The client needed to cover one of their parabolic antenna. AR Ingenieure entered the bidding with the proposal of an inflatable dome delivered by crane. Alexander Hub was the project manager, while Grant Galloway was the computational engineer.
My role in this project was the simulation of the logistics: the transport and assembly of the inflatable dome.
Computational Design
I made extensive use of Kangaroo Physics, a Live Physics engine for interactive simulation and form-finding, all within the Rhino/Grasshopper environment. It was necessary to identify the collisions between the membrane and the antenna to avoid ripping it during the deployment.
