AMBIENT COOLING PROTOTYPE - DF_LAB
2022
Loc_Melbourne, Australia
Designed Djordje Stojanovic
Subject Coordinator Rochus Hinkle
Industry Partner OzMist, Wangaratta, Vic
Detailed and Taught by Mitchell Ransome and Darcy Zelenko
Students Involved: Nadine Alirani, Jessica Broad, Leelee Chea, Christine Chen, Haoyu Chen, Kester Wen Zhe Cheong, Angus Grant, Jack Halls, Andrew Lee, Theodore Lehrer, Min Ghi Park, Yekun Shi, Ling Tian, Mingjie Zhang
The Advanced Digital Design and Fabrication Research Hub at the Melbourne School of Design at The University of Melbourne is developing under the leadership of Dr Djordje Stojanovic prototypes of timber tree-like structures that hold a misting cooling system. The structures will be around 4 meters tall and are currently in fabrication and two structures will be completed by the end of February 2022. The prototypes will be developed and fabricated within the Digital Fabrication Laboratory, a design and research-based fabrication course, taught by Darcy Zelenko and Mitchell Ransome. DF_Lab is part of the Digital Design and Fabrication Electives at the Melbourne School of Design, coordinated by Associate Professor Rochus Hinkel.
The DF_Lab introduces students to the use of software and hardware components, which are used in leading design practices today and are becoming increasingly important tools for future practice in architecture, landscape architecture and construction. DF_Lab students learn and demonstrate the capability to prototype, using digital design and fabrication techniques, (including Laser Cutters, 3D Printers and CNC Routers) combined with physical computing devices to augment existing fabrication techniques.
