About The Forum मंडप

द फोरम हा एक मंडप आहे जो मेळावे, सार्वजनिक कार्यक्रम आणि कला यांसाठी एक ठिकाण म्हणून डिझाइन केला आहे. ही संरचना एक मंच, एक पडदा आणि एक पार्श्वभूमी म्हणून काम करते, त्यामुळे ही जागा वेगवेगळ्या उपयोगांसाठी अनुकूल करता येते. संरचना आणि दर्शनी भाग हे एरोस्पेस दर्जाच्या अ‍ॅल्युमिनियमपासून बनवलेल्या प्रवाही पृष्ठभागांच्या एकाच भाषेत एकत्रित केले आहेत. सहासष्ट अद्वितीय पॅनेल्स डिजिटल शीट फॉर्मिंगद्वारे, कोणतेही टूलिंग किंवा डाय न वापरता, बारा तासांपेक्षा कमी वेळात आकारास आणले गेले. याचा परिणाम म्हणजे एक मोठी, हलकी आणि मॉड्युलर संरचना जी वेगाने तयार करता येते आणि साध्या हाताच्या साधनांनी जोडता येते.

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.
