In Arthur Toth‘s, A Room for London competition entry, the main impetus for the use of computational geometry is the ease it introduces into computer-aided design and most importantly into manufacturing. This computational geometric algorithm leads to a balanced subdivision of the outer shell of the room and also to a matching coherent organization of the space inside. Planimetric issues also subscribe to this inner logic, as well as structural and detailing processes. More images and architect’s description after the break.
The resulting modules consequently fit perfectly one on to another, with no geometric errors or connection problems of any kind. They facilitate easy handling , rapid assembling and reuse. Also the manufacturing process benefits from 3d model accuracy and fast prototyping capabilities. Furniture can comply to the interior spatial subdivision and will be integrated from the beginning in the construction of each module, therefore assuring best possible fit and maximizing production efficiency.
