Elys Extension
The new wall profiles include a concave and convex curved wall, a few different slabs and a big roof. The animations above rely on the WebVR WordPress plugin which might not work at its full potential in all browsers.

Carlo Borer
For his exhibition “Sleeping with the Gods” at KBH.G in Basel in summer 2022, Carlo Borer relied on my computational design skills. The three largest art pieces were at least partially developed with my Grasshopper definitions. More information can be found on Carlo Borer’s website: POP5 Reconstruction Digger A summary of my contribution is printed…

Camp5 KL East paneling
Under the brand called Camp5, my friends own five climbing gyms in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Soon they’ll open another huge gym with a total of 1340 m² of climbing surface. The walls were designed by co-owner Patrick Andrey. I got to do the paneling which consists of placing panels on the planes of the walls…

So iLL Split Palm hangboard
The Split Palm hangboard idea came after modeling the Meagan Martin split hangboard tiles. It is basically an Iron Palm split in halves and some grips added. Jason Kehl modeled a concept in Sketchup and provided some dimensions for my refinement in Rhino. The spherical parts are modeled as surfaces. SubD modeling was used for…

Elys Metamaze
The Metamaze is a spatial labyrinth, playground, artificial cave and hideaway at Elys Boulderloft in Basel, Switzerland. On a footprint of 25 m², the intertwined tunnel system has a total lenght of nearly 50 meters. The panels are CNC cut 24 mm birch plywood and connected with German made steel connectors. The Metamaze is built…

Beam optimization
Five huge timber vaults have been built for the 2021 Tianfu Agricultural Expo. StructureCraft created the production files for three of the vaults, Häring Timber Technology did the other two. The arches of the conical vaults all shared a similar buildup, yet all arches had different dimensions. The glulam beams were produced in Europe and…

Knots
3D scanned with my Artec Leo. The AR animation is available on mobile devices. After the shoe scan shown above and my friend complaining about the quality of the shoe laces, I decided to experiment a bit. I had already simulated a simple knot in Rhino / Grasshopper with Kangaroo but that was a round…

Jumpa maze
This 2.5 x 2 x 2 meter prototype with six cells was created to get a better feel for the size, test the chosen steel connector and to learn more about the assembly. The panels have been CNC cut. But, at the time, the algorithm for the hole placement was not quite ready so I…

GRIP Climbing Biel
GRIP climbing is a new gym in Biel, Switzerland. I was commissioned to design all walls in close cooperation with the owners. This job is what started my search for an efficient algorithm that allows quick adaption of planes and edges on a climbing wall design. Bouldering walls 235 m² Indoor rope climbing walls 480…

Cheeta volumes
In addition to a rework of the entire line of volumes I got to complement Laurent Laporte’s newly designed crack system. And the famous balls or “tranches d’oranges” needed to be resized for better fit when stacked. All volumes got a fresh number. Sizes and angles were exported into a huge Excel sheet. For better…
