Newest Volvo car, the widely popular plug - diesel-hybrid V60, is ready to debut in the Italian car show circuit. In preparation, the car manufacturer, in conjunction with international architecture magazine of the plan launched a contest to a sleek, to develop rapidly deployable Pavilion, the both showcase the car would, and to reinforce its high efficiency properties. Competition, called "Switch to pure Volvo", saw entries from all over the world, but the winner was a solar-powered miracle called "pure voltage ' designed by synthesis design + architecture (SDA), Los Angeles-based architectural firm, under the direction of architect and Professor USC, Alvin Huang."
The basis of pure tension design is a tension tent: stress equally from all angles of a structure used will help to keep the CAP tight and stand upright.?The SDA was the car's design as a basis to use to reimagine, that the typical exhibition pavilion.
Swooping, swirling, Cap is made from HDPE mesh fabric-a plastic-based membrane, which has made plastic plastics such as milk cans, plastic bags and bottles made from recycled #2. The tissue is then stretched on CNC bent aluminium rods. "In fact, are the digital designed contours of the mesh material which the rods bend in their curvy shapes." The result is called to mind, the image of an elegant transparent Orchid "has a press release.
As voltage looks strikingly like pure, it is not the flower pattern, which makes it so attractive in the shelter. Integrated in the membrane of tissue photovoltaic modules, which developed the energy Sun to collect, and it directly into the V60′s battery funnel. The solar panels allow the Pavilion function as a battery charger V60 on display, with the charging cable in hidden and peeling away the tube.
As you can imagine, is extremely lightweight and thus easy to transport the entire CAP pure voltage and set up. "Membrane structures present numerous challenges in converging architectural intentions with first principles,", said Greg Otto, Rector of Buro Happold. Our engineering team will refine geometries of SDA with proprietary software, on the basis of dynamic relaxation form to optimize design the structural framework and ultimately prepared the fabric to patterns." Buro Happold provides SDA structure planning for the design.
The SDA team will work in collaboration with the Volvo Design Center in Camarillo, California in anticipation of a 15 official launch date in September. Manufacturing takes place through Chicago fabric images, Inc.
+ SDA - pure power
