3D-PRINTED MODEL, ONDA CARIOCA

Project

The 3D-printed model of Onda Carioca, 2011: the form found by hand in clay, paper and metal mesh, engineered as a gridshell and printed. The last step before the building.

We design buildings the way cars are designed — sculpted by hand, then engineered to be built.

The built work: Onda Carioca, Rio de Janeiro.
