Material Research Project

This research project is developed alongside the Hammami project

​

How can we realize a highly-complex form generated from procedurally modeling? In this project, we aim to achieve a budgeted plaster thin shell structure with large complex geometry.  

​

The smallest scale prototype is 3D-printed and covered in a self-made negative mold composed of a gelatine-glycerin mixture.

​

Due to the scale of the designed object, the medium size plaster wall's prototype is made by assembling multiple SLA prints. Those prints are assembled by plasticine to ensure a closed seamless form.

​

The largest thing plaster is formed by painting plaster on top of plaster tapes that are hanged on a mesh of sticks resembling the designed form.
