"The squared square geometry of Volume ranges in applications from products and installations to architectural structures, with each sculpture assigned a numeric identifier: (number of pieces)-(number of layers)-(height of each piece)-(number of vertical pieces)-(gauge number).This incarnation, 60-10-12-3-12, was produced in collaboration with FLATCUT_ for the Museum of Arts and Design’s Metalball, and is the prototype for a 36’ x 36’ x 36’ installation proposal, or 220-20-24-18-5."

"The sculptural framework was designed by Brooks Atwood [of POD Design]... 14-gauge galvanized steel—nearly 5,500 running feet of steel strips, bent into curves and hand riveted by Atwood and his team. The strips and supporting ribs beneath were fabricated by FLATCUT, a full service fabrication shop headquartered in DUMBO. The steel structure of the room curves into a bench in one corner, and a built-in bar in another, flowing in waves throughout the space."

FLATCUT_+ ACADIA ANNOUNCE 2011 DIGITAL DESIGN COMPETITION
The Brooklyn-based design and fabrication studio, FLATCUT_, announces the ACADIA 2011 Design + Fabrication Competition, an international call for submissions that challenges academics and designers to push the boundaries of materials, minds, and machines. In a partnership with the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (“ACADIA”), FLATCUT_ is opening up their 100,000 square foot fabrication facility, complete with more than 100 cutting-edge machines, as a laboratory for the competition.
Each year ACADIA attracts pioneers in computational design to discuss new discoveries in their respective fields. This year FLATCUT_ is offering them the opportunity to translate their ideas into physical form. “We want them to challenge us and to challenge what our machines can do,” says FLATCUT_ founder Tomer Ben-Gal. “We believe this is a great opportunity for designers to search through our encyclopedia of machines and generate innovative ways of combining materials and creating new forms.” FLATCUT_ and ACADIA are looking for participants to explore integrative material strategies in three design categories: lighting, partitions, and furniture. The jury will be announced in May. Winning designs will be fabricated by FLATCUT_ and exhibited at the ACADIA Conference in Calgary, Canada in October 2011. In addition to having their designs built, the winning designers will receive a travel stipend to attend the conference, free admission to the conference, and will be invited to participate in a panel discussion led by Ben-Gal and other conference organizers. Designs should demonstrate an experimental approach to the problem of digitally fabricating multiple part assemblies that address both themes of the conference: integrative trajectories- the areas of overlap between design and other disciplines such as computer science, material science, mathematics, and biology - and the performance criteria of the category in which they are situated. Contestants are encouraged to minimize waste and fully engage the performance of their selected materials, to be creative and inventive with their choice of materials and take risks in their material pairings. “We want to promote design that engages the latent potentials of multiple materials simultaneously in a way that is innovative and takes advantage of the growing range of technologies becoming embedded into the design process.”, said Jason S. Johnson, ACADIA 2011 Co-Chair. For competition details or to enter go to: www.acadia.org/acadia2011/competition.html For press inquiries contact: [email protected] For technical information contact [email protected] The ACADIA 2011 Annual Conference will explore integrative trajectories and areas of overlap that have emerged through computation between design, its allied disciplines of engineering and construction, and other fields, such as computer science, material science, mathematics and biology. The conference will highlight experimental projects in which methods, processes, and techniques are discovered, appropriated, adapted, and altered from elsewhere, and digitally pursued.

Custom Perferated 1/8" Aluminum Powder-Coated Stands
As part of FLATCUT_’s furniture line, the stools were designed and fabricated to provide an aesthetically dynamic solution to outdoor furniture. Each piece is embedded with a custom pattern that allows for a balance of lightness and structural stability. The clean powdercoat finish and elegant pattern also makes the stool an ideal option for office and residential spaces. Still in prototype faze....hope to launch final design in about 1 month.
Really incredible work from critically acclaimed designer Marloes ten Bhömer produces shoes that are both provocative and otherworldly. Her work fuses artistic and technological experiment in order to discover shoes anew.
“If the key commandment of glamorous, upscale shoe design for women is to amplify and exaggerate the curves of the human foot, ten Bhömer’s shoes are riotous and sensuous sinners” Shumon Basar, design and architecture critic.

The design was developed parametrically to establish an iterative process capable of creating multiple variations in a short period of time. The firm’s custom software is capable of reading a series of radii and lengths taken directly from the 3-D model. This results in a highly accurate translation process, with little opportunity for human error. The tree’s strands are made of one-inch outside diameter light-gauge steel tubing pipe bent by a three-axis CNC pipe bender. The sculpture includes a total of 36 custom strands designed from three different curves and cut at 12 different lengths, creating a swirling, centrifugal design. Notches at the top of each branch can hold hangers or accessories.
