Detail Wall View
Description
The wall [9-6 feet x 7-6 feet x 0-8 feet] uses the latest robotic manufacturing techniques and reveals the potential of future architectural construction. Space, structure and skin are incorporated in a single form.
The formal variation of ‘Migrating Formations” responds to light, shade, opacity and structure. Each side of the wall produces different qualities-from bulbous to angular features. The integration of these qualitative differences is controlled with the desire to develop the greatest sensorial affect while yielding an elegant aesthetic.
