\"The Ancient Pixel\" Praxis Concept: Design using CNC machine. Project: Mosaic designed by CNC machine. Process: Considering the linear movement of the machine, I decided to explore the act of lifting and placing items in pre calculated locations. This is how I came up with the idea of using the CNC machine to make a mosaic. 4

Experimenting manually 1. Supplies: 2. Arranging pieces on 3. Covering base with 4. Lifting each piece - cardboard the side and cutting double sided tape with the glue stick - double sided tape out base for mosaic - UHU glue stick - mosaic pieces - grout 5. Laying it down on 6. Filling up row by 7. Covering with grout 8. Final result base row First attempt with the machine This experiment was done in order to ensure that the basic technicalities worked. I created a template on Rhino which included designated spaces for the tiles on the left and a grid for the final image in the center. For the first try I experimented with lining up 4 tiles on the grid. 5

Adapting the machine I decided to 3d print a holder for the UHU glue stick that would secure it to the machine and keep it sturdy while picking up and laying down the ceramic tiles. Using the machines measurements I sketched out my plan, then built it in Rhino and printed it in a 3d printer. Regarding the surface, I noticed that if the tiles were not precisely placed in the correct position before being taken by the machine it would affect the whole pattern, so I created a raised edge around those tiles in order to align them and place them quickly and effectively. The idea The process of planning out the mosaic in a digital way, i.e. breaking down a picture into its small individual elements, forced me to see the similarity in both pixel and mosaic concepts. For my project I deliberately chose the most primitive icons that represent the concept of pixels in the best way, to be created by the machine in the ancient mosaic technique. 6

Digital Process After choosing the symbols I recreated them on Illustrator, exported them into Rhino, and built my Gcode with Grasshopper. For the surface I used the same original template and expanded it from a row to a 13x13 square grid with additional points for tile pickup. Final result For the final product I created a 60x60 cm cardboard base. I used 2x2 cm ceramic tiles in the colors: gray, black and white. I covered the base with double sided tape and let the machine lay out the pieces for me in the correct place. Once the image was ready, I covered the surface with grout and cleaned off the excess. 7

Defining a space through action Studio 3 Studio by Philipp Thomanek Concept: \"Small apartment\" Project: \"A space for my morning routine\" Process: Exploring daily activities in order to figure out how much space I occupy while doing them. I then used my findings to design a space tailored for these activities. 8

\"Washing of the hands\" I chose to study the activity of washing my hands before eating bread. This is a religious custom I do at home. Its simplicity is what made me interested in studying it. By filming myself washing my hands in this specific manner and taking screenshots, I managed to break the action down to 30 movements (1 per second). This helped me fully understand how I was occupying the space around me. 30 second breakdown Weekly Diagram Contact Diagram Overlaying sections within each view (Top, Side, Back) From 2D to 3D Isometric calculations and drawing 9 (combining 3 views from the same second)

\"A space to play the piano\" For my second activity, I chose to design a space for me to play the piano since it is a hobby of mine. The project called for the usage of minimum space. Once this was accomplished, adaptations were created for atmosphere and technical reasons. I started with writing out a program. Then I listened to music while painting with water colors to get inspiration. I studied the movements that I do throughout the whole process of playing the piano, and designed my space around it, section by section. Program Inspiration Main objects and movements Planning the space in sections Moments created by section model 10

Section Model I cut out the sections I designed out of cardboard, and built a base that would allow for them to stand up in a row. By looking through the sections one can envision the full experience of going through the space. Each section is a moment in time, designed specifically to contain my body in the midst of my activity. 11

A space for my morning routine For my final space I decided to create the ideal space for my morning routine. My morning routine includes 4 activities: Getting dressed, Praying, Cooking breakfast, and Eating while planning out my day. The process was similar to the 2 exercises prior to this one: I started by studying each activity on its own using videos and pictures of myself from different views in order to calculate the measurements. Once I had an understanding of these measurements, I planned my space around each activity individually considering atmosphere and technical adpatations. I then decided on the best way to combine all of these spaces together into one \"small apartment\". 1:50 Activity 01: Getting dressed Activity layout: Top Overlay Shaded Side view BackBvaicekwview Top vTioepwview Activity layout: pants OverlayOverlay ShadedShaded Side view Back view Top view Activity layout: Shoes Overlay Shaded Side view Overall space occupied: Top view Front view Front\\Back view Top view 1:20 Side view 12

This technique allowed me to envision the atmosphere in each space. How much light would I want entering my space? What type of openings? When would I want to look out to a view? I used the same sketches and drew over any changes that I made during this thought process. After designing each space individually, I started thinking of ways to combine the spaces into one. I realised that I imagined this space being an added structure to the house I live in at the moment. Inspired by Parasitic Architecture, I decided to plan the space without making any changes to the original house plans. When putting the spaces together, I took into consideration the views and heights of different areas in my house. For example, making sure I am facing the view while eating, and facing east when praying. 14

Final Model I decided to build the final model out of cardboard in a 1:10 ratio to the original size plan. Working in this ratio allowed me to go into detail and really feel the inside of each space. This size of model was challenging construction wise, and demanded a lot of support. The idea was based off the concept of a theater back drop, using cardboard in layers and giving the illusion of a 3 dimensional house holding up the space. 17

Tel Aviv University Library building & structure Together with Jana Vitovhin Concept: Studying construction from finish to start. Elias Sourasky Central Library was built in 1954. It was designed by the architects Nadler, Nadler & Bixon. Since then it has gone through a lot of renovations and adaptations. Project: Recreating the architectural plans by studying the building as is today. 24

Book inspired home design \"The Rosie Project\" \"The Rosie Project\" is a novel about Don, a socially awkward genetics professor who creates a scientific questionnaire to find a wife, but finds unexpected love with Rosie, a disorganized bartender. In this project I decided to draw spaces in his house, in comparison to hers. Don's living room, 7:32 PM. Don settles down to eat his evening meal. He enjoys sitting in his comfortable armchair, which faces the wall to avoid distractions. Don has an impressive library, organized alphabetically. Sometimes, he plays classical music on his music player and uses the empty space for his Aikido training. Rosie's living room, 10:00 AM. Rosie likes to take advantage of her free morning time for some relaxation. She enjoys a good cigarette and puts her feet up on the comfortable couch in front of the TV. Don's bathroom, 8:26 PM. Don enters his daily shower. Don places high importance on hygiene and self-care. He makes sure to purchase a large quantity of products in advance to avoid situations of shortage. Rosie's bathroom, 2:40 AM. Rosie returns from a night shift at the bar with a headache from the loud music. There is nothing Rosie wants right now more than a relaxing and indulgent foamy bath. Don's bedroom, 6:00 AM. Don is approaching the end of his regular morning run. Every morning when he gets up from his bed, Don makes sure to arrange his bed linen to a level that would not dissapoint in a 5-star hotel. Don's bedroom is solely intended for sleeping and changing clothes. Rosie's bedroom, 9:30 AM. Rosie woke up in a hurry, realizing that she was running late for her date with Don. Her room was messy as a result of her indecisiveness on what to wear that morning, despite Don always considering her beautiful no matter what she wears. 29
