Nomads + Nanomaterials - Graduate Studio with Shelia Kennedy and Frano Violich of KVA. Image shown rendered by Joseph Kim, demostrating concepts developed by O'Mara, Kim, and Cynthia Strawn.

Nomads + Nanomaterials - Graduate Studio with Shelia Kennedy and Frano Violich of KVA Size: approx. 24" x 15" 1/4 of a conoidal shell casting with textile reinforcing. The laser cut hardboard fixture below the casting sample was used to create a thermoplastic vacuum mold that hosted the casting. The coffering resulted from drawing the thermoplastic in the grid voids of the fixture.

Nomads + Nanomaterials - Graduate Studio with Shelia Kennedy and Frano Violich of KVA The architecture is designed to collect and distribute energy in the form sunlight and rainwater. The structure is infrastructure. The runoff is directed into cisterns located in the heart of the columnar umbrellas eventually flowing to spigots which drain into a man-made reflecting pond at the center of the site. The cavity of the reflecting pond was the conceptual location for casting each shell on-site.
