As part of the extension of the Quality Hote Globe, Dsearch developed an interior cladding system for the main banquet hall, that also forms the ceiling of the main foyer area. Development ranged from initial concepts to design, fabrication and assembly. Dsearch development team: Sander Shuur, Jonas Runberger, Hama Agahimeybodi and Pedram Seddighzadeh Yazdi.

The prototype at dusk, with LED lighting
The new prototype for the Forumtorgtet sofa, developed by Dsearch is now on site. The prototype explores three alternate materials, and was produced by Tidaholm Industries. The design was based on sampled parts of the planned 70 meter sofa, with the aim to investigate performance in terms of comfort, identity, structure, material and manufacture.

1/2 scale model testing lighting integrated within the lamella system
The design development for the Forumtorget continues, and is now focused on the integration of lighting systems into the lamella based fabrication principles. Studies are conducted through both physcial an ddigital/parametric development, with a desgn team combining the competences within White Arkitekter and LYX furniture produder (and designer Jonas Wannfors, who designed Topografi, in the LYX line of products). A full-scale prototype is planned to be installed at Forumtorget, Uppsala, in March 2013.

Model thesis project, Hamia Aghaiemeybodi, KTH 2012
This lecture was giving an overview of how 3d-printing and additive manufacture can be seen as a technology that provides new opportunities for archtiecture and construction. The talk was given at the 3dp-dagen, a one day conference assembling different interests wihtin this technological paradigm, from many different disciplines. The lecture included examples from practice and teaching, as well as cutting edge explorative work within architectural research.

Background image from Dsearch development of facade pattern
Lecture at Beckmans School of Desing in Stockholm, introducing the idea of digital and paramatric design concepts to interior design students. The lecture was based on examples from architectural practice and academia, and also discussed different scales of engagement. The discussion following the presentation covered issues from urban design to expected skills in future careers.

Laser cut model of overall design
The development for Formtorget incorporates physical models produced by our inhouse laser cutter, that allows investigations of formal prinsiples in regards to aesthetic qualities, seating comfort as well as fabrication logics. The parametric model used enables the production of models from 1:50 to 1:1 to be produced.

One of several unique entrances to the Koggens gränd housing block
Following an earlier proposal, Dsearch developed a design for a series of 30 unique panels used for fences and view obstruction in the Koggens gränd housing project. Using the Voronoi diagram, a digital design trope overly used in past years and these days integrated as an automated function within Grasshopper, the development was focused on achieving different types of transformations of the pattern, creating panels with shifting densities and local variations that encompass house numbers and protective details for security measures.

One alternative for the facade of Braxen 19
Dsearch developed a series of proposals for massing and facades of Braxen 19, a block in central Linköping. The design prinicples was concieved in response to the ideas formed within the White Linköping office, and will be further refined as the project continues. Two properties of this block was under consideration, and the concept involved two alternate pattern formations, and two alternate modes of execution – a lamella based design and a panel based design.
