Studio description
Tietz-Baccon is a full-service Design & Fabrication shop, based in Long Island City, NY. Established by Architects with diverse skills and a passion for detail, we place an emphasis on technology and craft to bring innovative concepts to life. We have the resources and aptitude for projects at all scales, and can provide assistance at every phase of the design process from concept to final production. www.tietz-baccon.com.
Statement on Digital Primitive
While the direct translation of digital models into physical components allows architects and designers to consider novel forms and techniques, expanding design possibilities, it has become even more imperative that the fabrication and assembly process is resolved up-front. Regardless of the complexity, all projects that are built must face the same realities of material, tolerance, assembly, budget, and performance. This has always been the case. We are in the infancy of what will someday be a ubiquitous process, and the vast array of research today promises to yield tomorrows standards. The goal is that trough exploring the limits of these digital tools and technology; we can better understand how to design something to be built, as opposed to relying on technology to figure out how to build something that is designed.
Project 1: DVF MODULAR EXHIBITION BOOTH
Location: NEW YORK
Date: 2009
Client: DIANE VON FURSTENBERG
Digital tools:
RHINOCEROS, PROPRIETARY SCRIPTS, ADDITIONAL TOOLING/POST-PROCESSING SOFTWARE, CNC-ROUTER
Credits:
Design/ fabrication/ implementation
TIETZ-BACCON WITH DIANE VON FURSTENBERG
Description
The modules allow for the rapid assembly of temporary, freestanding exhibition & trade-show spaces. The set of CNC-milled frames connect with integrated locking hardware, accepting interchangeable faces. The example shown here uses 2 different types of embossed faces: one for the DVF logo and one for the DVF “signature print” pattern. The logos and patterns were surface-milled on the CNC-Router.
Project 2: RECEPTION DESK
Location: DURANGO, COLORADO
Date: AUGUST, 2009
Client: FORT LEWIS COLLEGE
Digital tools:
RHINOCEROS, PROPRIETARY SCRIPTS, ADDITIONAL TOOLING/POST-PROCESSING SOFTWARE, CNC-ROUTER

Description:
Vertically laminated FSC-certified, no-added-urea-formaldehyde MDF components are assembled into modules in the shop. The modules have been designed to rapidly bolt together with hidden hardware on-site to minimize labor. The automation of the component generation from the digital model is absolutely necessary for a project with this number of pieces in an effort to meet budgets and deadlines. Digital tools allow us to generate the form in a way that ensures assembly is possible and can be optimized to minimize material waste, reduce unnecessary weight, and integrate other materials such as countertops.
Project 3: DIFFA TABLE (DESIGN INDUSTRIES FOUNDATION FIGHTING AIDS)
Location: NEW YORK
Date: 2009

TIETZ-BACCON WITH SHOP ARCHITECTS
Description: Tietz-Baccon provided digital fabrication services for the components of the table/booth designed by SHoP Architects. Structural components were CNCmilled from FR Baltic Birch Plywood, while other components were cut on the CNC-Router from wood-printed Plastic Laminate. The final assembly also integrated upholstery to further add to the effect of the cotton flower theme of the table. While the installation was erected for only one week, it was a successful part of the DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS) fundraiser banquet.
