Self-Cleaning Surface Architectures from Chitin Biomaterials: Computational and experimental methodology

Abstract

This study investigates and proposes design and fabrication methods for hemp-based heat-pressed acoustic tiles. Through computational pattern generation and acoustic analysis methods, combined with CNC-milling offormwork for heat pressing and room acoustic measurements are material-geometric relations examined and described. The study results in new procedural design method for creating bespoke visual-acoustic modules and knowledge of how these hemp-based tiles can impact the acoustic environment.
