About The Forum Pailliún

Is pailliún é an Fóram atá deartha mar ionad do chruinnithe, do chláir phoiblí agus do na healaíona. Feidhmíonn an struchtúr mar stáitse, mar scáileán agus mar chúlra, ionas gur féidir an spás a chur in oiriúint d'úsáidí éagsúla. Tá an struchtúr agus an aghaidh aontaithe in aon teanga amháin de dhromchlaí sreabhacha atá déanta d'alúmanam de ghrád aeraspáis. Múnlaíodh sé phainéal is seasca uathúla trí fhoirmiú digiteach leatháin, gan uirlisiú ná díslí, i níos lú ná dhá uair déag an chloig. Is é an toradh atá air ná struchtúr mór, éadrom agus modúlach atá tapa le táirgeadh agus is féidir a chóimeáil le huirlisí láimhe bunúsacha.

About the Duais Óir A' Design Award

Bhuaigh an dearadh The Forum Pailliún Duais Óir A' Design Award, aitheantas thar a bheith clúiteach a bhronntar ar dhearaí den chéad scoth, iontacha agus sármhaithe. Is cruthuithe an-nuálacha, fíorasacha agus drithleacha iad buaiteoirí Óir a léiríonn géiniais, eagna agus máistreacht a ndearthóirí. Táthar ag súil go mbeidh an dearadh The Forum Pailliún ina aireagán a mholtar go mór, ceannródaíoch agus séadchomharthach a sholáthraíonn luach nach bhfacthas riamh cheana. Is tionscadal iontach, measúil é an dearadh seo a bhuaigh Duais Óir A' Design Award a dhéanann sárleas do theorainneacha na healaíne, na heolaíochta, an deartha agus na teicneolaíochta agus a chuireann chun cinn iad. Cruthaíonn an dearadh The Forum Pailliún mothúcháin dhian mhianta, músclaíonn sé paisean, spreagann sé cruthaitheacht agus cuireann sé draíocht orainn.

Press Kit

Unique Properties
The Forum will be a stage, a screen, an instrument, and a backdrop, creating space that can be transformed through its use as a venue for convening, public programming, and the arts, fostering a sense of community and encouraging social interaction and engagement. Forum is a prototype for a new way of using new digital sheet metal forming technologies to create large scale, lightweight structures that are easy to produce and quick to assemble.
Dimensions & Packaging
12700mm x 5700mm x 3100mm

Production Technology
The design was created in Rhino and Grasshopper with special attention given to design capabilities and constraints of the manufacturing process. Figur digital sheet forming technology was used to create each unique panel without any tooling or dies. Average time to form each aluminum component was approximately 10 minutes. The structure and façade are unified into one language of fluid surfaces composed of aerospace grade aluminum. 66 unique panels create both structure and form, created using digital sheet forming machinery in under 12 hours.
Design Challenge
The goal of the project was to create a new language of construction utilizing a state for the art manufacturing method. Designing and constructing a large scale installation that was lightweight, structurally sound and easy to assemble with basic hand tools were all goals of the project. The modular nature of the construction and ability of the manufacturing method to adapt to unique shapes allowed the creation of a unique modular structure.
Research
The team was deeply interested in the physical manifestation of objects - how they’re conceived, designed, and the craft of making. The tectonics of an object are a direct reflection and representation of how they are used and what they can achieve. It is with this understanding that we will rehearse new modes of manufacturing, assemblage and organization
Inspiration
The Forum design and structure was inspired by construction and assembly methods not typically found in architecture and the built environment. Specifically in aerospace and automotive manufacturing, sheet metal often has multifunction utilization. By using a single material to perform the tasks of structure, enclosure, and design we are able to create a cohesive and efficient object that becomes a blueprint for a new and unique method of construction.
Project Duration
The project was first exhibited in Chicago during the Chicago Architectural Biennial in 2023. It is currently being reassembled in its permanent home in a gallery space in Chicago.
