Metal mesh study for Onda Carioca, 2011, shaped by hand before any software.

METAL MESH STUDY, ONDA CARIOCA

Project

A study for Onda Carioca in metal mesh, shaped by hand in 2011, first free-standing and then on the site plan.

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

The built work: Onda Carioca, Rio de Janeiro.

Year: 2011
Status: Study model
Role: Design, sculpted by hand
