The Carbon Fiber bridge was commissioned for a private residence to connect the main house to the garage across a gully. The bridge avoids directly impacting the local fauna by cantilevering 50’ from the patio structure like a diving board, requiring no additional support anywhere along its span. Installation access was another constraint due to the winding roads of the Berkeley hills and difficulties with getting any kind of equipment to the site. The bridge was made in three pieces, each light enough to be carried by hand, and then bolted together on site.

The Float Lab integrates an innovative, ecologically optimized fiber-reinforced polymer composite hull with variable topographies that perform above and below the water. On the top, the topography is engineered to channel rainwater and produce watershed pools for intertidal or terrestrial habitats. Underwater, the hull's peaks and valleys vary in size to provide habitats for different types of invertebrates. Water flowing along this underwater landscape brings plankton and other nutrients into these "fish apartments," helping to promote ecological diversity. This biological growth can help attenuate wave action and reduce coastal erosion, one of the primary impacts of climate change and sea-level rise in large masses. Throughout its deployment, attachment fittings on the underside will suspend ecological habitat prototypes further to develop the wave attenuation potential of the optimized substrates.

Polyester resin and e-glass reinforcement as needed. P4000 urethane primer finish prep on convex surface 4,000 grit (final mirror finish by others)

Galactic Jungle Art Cars are a pack of animal-themed art cars that wirelessly link together. Other: The project entailed 5 FRP art cars based loosely on the theme of a pack of jungle animals: DJ Booth Lion, Fire Breathing Elephant, Rhino, Zebra, and Tiger.

Molds were created by laser scanning a rock wall model created by the artist Forest Boon using an Atos close range photogrammetry scanner. The scan data was then inverted, and blocks of EPS foam molds were machined using our large format 5-axis CNC gantry mill. Dozens of these “molds” were fabricated and then shipped to Hawaii, where they were arranged appropriately against a concrete retaining wall and the space between filled with poured-in-place concrete. After the foam was removed, the surface was “faux finished” by the artist.

Set design for 20th Century Fox’s 2002 science fiction movie Minority Report included these textured CNC milled wall panels comprising the “Precog Chamber.” The MAYA-generated pattern of interplaying ripples on the surface of this elliptically shaped space was designed by production designer Alex McDowell. The 3-D geometry was sent to Kreysler & Associates where the shape was segmented, and the panels and support frame fabricated using a multi-axis CNC router. This was K&A’s first all-electronic project done entirely without paper except for the purchase order.
