Light Matters is part of ongoing research into building strategies that create a higher quality of life, with lighter environmental impact. The Light Matters team led by Dr. Anupama Kundoo, in collaboration with Kim Baber of Baber Studios, and Greg Killen of Greg Killen Consulting Engineers with assistance from five University of Queensland Master of Architecture students.
The current focus of the research is to arrive at a light weight ferrocement shelter prototype based on introduction of folds and bends that lend this thin material rigidity and make it viable as an affordable alternative to roof construction. Inspired by crease patterns developed in origami, the prototype shelter integrates geometry, engineering and material properties in the development of appropriate forms.
The prototype developed in full scale will be displayed as part of the CUSP: Designing into the Next Decade nationally touring exhibition organised by Object: Australian Design Centre.
Students from UQ include; Dong La, Kevin Park, Abdon Dantas, Victoria Goh and Chi Tang.
