Kreysler & Associates use Autodesk PowerMill to machine large art pieces at their custom fabrication shop. Specializing in the design, engineering and manufacture of composite products for architecture, sculpture and industrial applications. They chose PowerMill to drive their range of CNC hardware, including machines with working volumes up to 65' x 25' x 10' in size.
Designing Material Innovation exhibits five full-scale architectural prototypes and pavilions that exemplify new approaches to material, fabrication, and design. Created through collaborations between architects and industry partners, these works combine technological innovation in materials research and fabrication with aesthetic and ethical approaches to form and appearance.
The exhibition will feature work by; APTUM Architecture - Roger Hubeli, Julie Larsen / CEMEX Research Group Andrew Kudless (MATSYS), David Shook, and Aaron Willette / CCA Digital Craft Lab CCA Digital Craft Lab - Adam Marcus, Margaret Ikeda, Evan Jones / Kreysler & Associates T+E+A+M - Thom Moran, Ellie Abrons, Adam Fure, Meredith Miller / University of Michigan Brandon Clifford (Matter Design / MIT Architecture) / Mark Jarzombek (MIT Architecture)
Herwig Baumgartner introduces Bill Kreysler of Kreysler & Associates as a pioneer of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) in architecture, collaborating on many of the outstanding projects of the last decades. Kreysler begins by contrasting the industries (ship building, sports equipment) that have been developing applications of composites and FRP since the 1990s, with the construction industry, which has been declining in productivity in that time.
