E Uiga ia The Forum Faletele

O le Forum o se faletele ua mamanuina e avea ma nofoaga mo faatasiga, polokalame lautele ma faatufugaga. E galue le fausaga o se tulaga faafiafia, o se pupuni ma se talaaga, ina ia mafai ona fetuunai le avanoa mo faaaogaga eseese. O le fausaga ma le pito i luma o le fale ua tuufaatasia i se gagana e tasi o luga vaaia tafe lelei e faia i le alumini o le tulaga vaalele. E onosefulu ono panela tulaga ese na faia i le fausiaina o pepa uamea faakomepiuta, e aunoa ma ni meafaigaluega poo ni faamau, i totonu o itula e sefululua. O le taunuuga o se fausaga tele, mama ma faavaega e vave ona gaosia ma e mafai ona faapotopotoina i meafaigaluega faigofie a lima.

E Uiga i le A' Design Award Auro

O le A' Design Award Auro na manumalo ai The Forum Faletele, o se faamaoniga matuā mamalu e tuuina atu i mamanu o le tulaga muamua, matagofie ma maoaʻe. O ē manumalo i le Auro o galuega fou tele, matuā vaai i le lumanaʻi ma susulu e faaalia ai le atamai, le poto ma le tomai o tagata mamanu. E faamoemoeina The Forum Faletele e avea ma mea fou e matuā vivii, e faatulaga ai uiga fou ma tetele, e tuuina mai ai se tau e leʻi iai muamua. O lenei mamanu na manumalo i le A' Design Award Auro o se galuega ofoofogia, ua faaaloalogia, e aogā tele ma tuleia atu tapulaʻa o le faatufugaga, saienisi, mamanu ma tekonolosi. The Forum Faletele e fatuina ai lagona malosi o le manaʻo, faaosofia le tuinanau, faalauiloa le fatufatuaʻi ma faamalosia i tatou.

Pepa Fa'asalalau

Fa'amaoniaga, sui o le 'au ma fa'amatalaga fa'atekinisi na saunia e le tagata mamanu.

Uiga Fa'apitoa: The Forum will be a stage, a screen, an instrument, and a backdrop, creating space that can be transformed through its use as a venue for convening, public programming, and the arts, fostering a sense of community and encouraging social interaction and engagement. Forum is a prototype for a new way of using new digital sheet metal forming technologies to create large scale, lightweight structures that are easy to produce and quick to assemble.
Fua & Fa'apipi'i: 12700mm x 5700mm x 3100mm
Fa'ailoga: 3D printed, digital manufacturing, parametric modeling,sheet metal forming
Tekonolosi Gaosiga: The design was created in Rhino and Grasshopper with special attention given to design capabilities and constraints of the manufacturing process. Figur digital sheet forming technology was used to create each unique panel without any tooling or dies. Average time to form each aluminum component was approximately 10 minutes. The structure and façade are unified into one language of fluid surfaces composed of aerospace grade aluminum. 66 unique panels create both structure and form, created using digital sheet forming machinery in under 12 hours.
Lu'itau o le Mamanu: The goal of the project was to create a new language of construction utilizing a state for the art manufacturing method. Designing and constructing a large scale installation that was lightweight, structurally sound and easy to assemble with basic hand tools were all goals of the project. The modular nature of the construction and ability of the manufacturing method to adapt to unique shapes allowed the creation of a unique modular structure.
Su'esu'ega: The team was deeply interested in the physical manifestation of objects - how they’re conceived, designed, and the craft of making. The tectonics of an object are a direct reflection and representation of how they are used and what they can achieve. It is with this understanding that we will rehearse new modes of manufacturing, assemblage and organization
Fa'aosofia: The Forum design and structure was inspired by construction and assembly methods not typically found in architecture and the built environment. Specifically in aerospace and automotive manufacturing, sheet metal often has multifunction utilization. By using a single material to perform the tasks of structure, enclosure, and design we are able to create a cohesive and efficient object that becomes a blueprint for a new and unique method of construction.
Umi o le Poloketi: The project was first exhibited in Chicago during the Chicago Architectural Biennial in 2023. It is currently being reassembled in its permanent home in a gallery space in Chicago.
