About Nestwood Galerio-Interna Desegno

Nestwood estas galerio kaj oficeja interno kreita kiel komuna spaco por kreivaj industrioj. La interno kovras 600 kvadratmetrojn sur du etaĝoj. Generaj desegnaj metodoj formis la organikajn formojn de la spaco. Robota cifereca fabrikado estis uzata por konstrui la kompleksan geometrion el marklasa neoksidebla ŝtalo, vitrofibre plifortigita gipso, marmoro kaj truita aluminio. Organike formita akceptejo markas la enirejon kaj estas subtenata de malgranda bio-lageto. Centra atriumo kun nature inspiritaj muroj kaj ŝtuparo servas kiel centro por interŝanĝo de ideoj.

The Recognition

About the Bronza A' Design Award

Nestwood Galerio-Interna Desegno estas gajninto de la Bronza A' Design Award, tre prestiĝa rekono donata al elstaraj dezajnoj distingitaj per kreemo, ingenieco kaj sagaco. La Bronzaj gajnintoj estas abunde lertaj kaj frape kreemaj artefaktoj, kiuj aŭtentikigas la vastan sperton, imagpovon kaj elturniĝemon de siaj dezajnistoj. Oni atendas, ke Nestwood Galerio-Interna Desegno estu tre estimata, admirata kaj ŝatata objekto, kiu estas rimarkinde profesia kaj nova. Ĉi tiu dezajno gajninta la Bronzan A' Design Award enkorpigas plej bonajn praktikojn en arto, scienco, dezajno kaj teknologio, kaj estas bonega pro sia atento al detaloj. Nestwood Galerio-Interna Desegno bonege kontentigas bezonojn, tuŝas dezirojn, ĉarmas sentojn kaj allogas scivolemon.

Unique Properties
The Nestwood Gallery is an oasis shared by multiple creative industries.
The design process uses experimental generative design to create an organic space. Each spatial detail is further fabricated with robots using the latest digital fabrication technology to replicate the complex geometry from the computer.
An organically shaped reception marks the entrance and greets the visitors, backed by a mini bio-pond: a mini-ecosystem is balanced by the atrium light, nitrogen, recycled water and minor species. The visitor is then welcomed by naturally inspired atrium walls, where a stair case leads the visitor to the upper level.

Design Challenge
The creative challenge is to realize designers full vision outside the industry's comfort zone. Manifold Lab experimented multiple digital fabrication method to create the full architectural scale space.
Research
Design research: generative design, NURBs, catmull-clark Subdivision
Material research: robotics, GFRG, stainless steel bending, laser cutting, CNC marble
Inspiration
Mathematical forms inspire the organic office space that exists in nature - the design seeks balance between beauty and ration. Program wise, the oasis is aimed to be a creative exchange space for designers and creative industries.
Multiple experimental fabrication methods were explored before finalizing the design to realize the designers' vision.
Project Duration
Project started in 2020 and finished in September 2022 in Toronto.
Operation Flow
The central atrium act as a hub for design teams to exchange ideas.
