Necessary change

The construction industry of the future will need to depend on sustainable materials and processes. Webelieve that earth could provide a viable range of cheaper and available local materials while associatedwith computer aided machines that would allow easier labour and innovative forms.

The aim of the Mud & Digital Lab is to renew earth construction processes and opening up a diversity ofsustainable techniques applied to general construction.This includes creating a diversity of formwork's at a very high pace to revisit the wattle and daubtechniques, and challenge new earthen geometries such as thin shells by casting methods.

In addition, were using CNC machines to pour earth layer per layer with the goal to 3d print earth at thescales of furniture and house.

In Lyon well be fabricating real scale prototypes.In Indonesia well use local earth, local knowledge and transportable digital prototyping machines inremote areas. Well design and build high end furniture and small architectures that will becomepermanent features in the resort.

The AA Mud Digital Lab investigates since 2012 the potential of using Computer Aided Machines for the renewal of Earth

Construction.

Thepotential of thiswork is to open up a diversityof sustainabletechniques applied to general construction.

Italsohas a social aim asthe costof material isreduced to a minimum.

We invite any Architecture or engineering student or professional, Researcher or environmental specialist to join us in order to work

togetherahead of our times in thisnecessary newinternational field.

TheLab is structuredover 2 intensivereal scaleprototypes construction 2 weekslong workshopsin France andin Indonesia.

In addition we organize a seriesof talksduringthe year around thisnew subject.

available for large constructions experimentation.

Were exploringtwo main families of structures:3d printing andMoulding

-3DPrinting Earth (No Formwork)

Were using Kukarobots, CNC machines,and house made robots to 3d print earth.

-Non Standard Earthenshells (Lost or RemovableFormwork)

Were also using CNC mil ling machines to produce at a fast pace a large range of dif ferent and non-regular wooden formworks

associated with stretched fabric to prefabricateearthen casted structures ranging from 20 cm tile to large 2 m high structures.

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, there is a rapture on the lonely shore,there is society, where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love

not man the less, but Nature more.

Agenda

During Chocolate and Other Powders 2015, participants will embark on a journey to design and builtsome real scale Earthen Parametric structures for a remote island and its resort in Indonesia using thepast years specific processes developed during the AA Mud and Digital Lab.

For the 3rd edition of our Mud & Digital AA Visiting School, We will keep on cutting our way through thepathless woods and work together as an experimental lab, to define new structures that never werebefore.Well continue our quest for the Holy Grail to lead on using the CNC machine as a giant 3D printer forearth.Using fabric as a formwork to establish thin earthen shells of different geometries and morphologieshas reached new paradigms for us.Well maintain the intensity and develop this field.Finally, using earth to fabricate prefabs is a domain that has been rarely investigated.Were proud of continuing the 1m earthen tiles weve started last year to reach manufacturingperfection and patents potential.

We will build up on last years Workshop ---Synchronized Movements 2013+ Mud Body and Scripts2014---knowledge and processes renewing Wattle and Daub and putting in place new methods.

For the 3rd edition of our Mud & Digital AA Visiting School, We will keep on cutting our way through the pathless woods and worktogether as an experimental lab, to define new structures that never were before.We will embark on Experiments using our body,letting our inner child go free and get dirty,and our natural tendency

to enjoy touching the material when it is paste, when it is powder, when it is sprayed, when it is stretched.Well define new verbs together.Well continue our quest for the Holy Grail to lead on using the CNC machine as a giant 3 D printer for earth.We will use Elvis the small robot to pour and spray mixes of earth, fibres, sand, olive oil, washing liquid.Well define new ingredients to improve the taste of our recipe together.Using fabric as a formwork to establish thin earthen shells of different geometries andmorphologies has reached new paradigms for us.Well maintain the intensity and develop this field.Finally, using earth to fabricate prefabs is a domain that has been rarely investigated.Were proud of continuing the 1m earthen tiles weve started last year to reach manufacturing perfection and patents potential.

Our energy will be deployed to re-invent new social realities, and to explore new alternatives in Emergen(t)cy sustainable housing.

Inner Paradise

AA Riau Island Visiting School 2016

A feeling of being at the other end of the world, on a paradise island.Almost nothing, almost no one around.Nevertheless a comfortable familiarity is provided.The resort creator of this island will be our client for a short while.


17/23

Agenda

During Inner Paradise 2016, participants will embark on a journey to design and built some real scaleEarthen Parametric structures for a remote island and its resort in Indonesia using the past yearsspecific processes developed during the AA Mud and Digital Lab.

This new location of our Mud and Digital Lab about Applying digital technologies to earth constructionwill challenge the use of local natural materials found on site for the fabrication of permanent structuresin the Telunas resort in collaboration with local artists.

Thousand different gradients of gold and sand, luxurious tropics along some tidal sea and a verystrong local Indonesian community.Thousand different gradients of gold and sand; Thousands hermits finding all kind of shells to build uptheir mini architectures.Taking advantage on the very local richness.The culture before anything else.

We'll work with local craftsmen to reach new strategies in marrying mud techniques and digitaltechnologies.Stressing the very traditional with the very contemporary, defining new realities.

Well bring our transportable digital fabrication equipment on this remote island -although only 3 hoursfrom Singapore for those who know how to navigate its waters on the long wooden boats- Wellfabricate screens, walls, roofs, pergolas and other types of furniture for the Telunas resort. This unusualclient will choose from our built work, pieces and fragments of architecture that will remain in the hotelpermanently.

With key parametric specialists from SUTD and FCL and the constant influence from CRATerre forearth architecture knowledge we will start writing a new chapter in the history of using transportablemachines synchronized with local materials to create new matters and new structures.

The focus will be mostly on sustainable and innovative furniture and small earth and fibres architectureswith the aim of becoming permanent in the resort.


18/23

Aims

Indonesia has a very strong earth architecture culture.We will take advantage on the traditional methods to reinterpret them through the use oftransportable digital prototyping manufacturing.Theres also a very interesting culture on bamboos structures in Indonesia.

We will revisit some of these techniques to apply earth on them and challenge theirgeometry.The aim of Inner Paradise will be to test on site the techniques explored during AA VS Lyon,earthen think shells, 3d printed earth technologies.During AA Riau Island 2016 Inner Paradise, we will work closely with Mike Shubert: theowner of the tropical resort to fabricate furniture and small architectures that will remain inthe hotel. We will also work with Paul, local Indonesian artist in residence in Telunas toenhance the dialogue between Indonesian identity and the processes were developing.
