A study for Onda Carioca, sculpted by hand in clay in 2011. Together with the paper and metal mesh studies, it found the form of the wave before any software; the marks of the hand are still on its surface.
We design buildings the way cars are designed — sculpted by hand, then engineered to be built.
The built work: Onda Carioca, Rio de Janeiro.
