About Nestwood Ubunifu wa Mambo ya Ndani ya Ghala la Sanaa

Nestwood ni ubunifu wa mambo ya ndani wa ghala la sanaa na ofisi ulioundwa kama nafasi ya pamoja kwa ajili ya viwanda vya ubunifu. Sehemu ya ndani inajumuisha eneo la mita za mraba 600 katika sakafu mbili. Mbinu za ubunifu wa kizazi (generative design) ziliunda maumbo asilia ya nafasi hiyo. Utengenezaji wa kidijitali wa kiroboti ulitumika kujenga jiometri changamano kwa kutumia chuma cha pua cha daraja la baharini (marine grade stainless steel), jasi lililoimarishwa kwa nyuzi za kioo (glass fiber reinforced gypsum), marumaru, na alumini yenye matundu. Sehemu ya mapokezi yenye umbo la asili inaashiria mlango wa kuingilia na inaungwa mkono na bwawa dogo la kibiolojia (bio-pond) nyuma yake. Ukumbi wa kati (atrium) wenye kuta zenye msukumo wa asili na ngazi hutumika kama kitovu cha kubadilishana mawazo.

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.
