Yasmeen Almuhanna: Looking Out Week 4

Dragon Skin Pavilion, Hong Kong &Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture, Finnish design, Tampere University of Technology, digital fabrication, cnc machines, algorithmic design, plywood sculpture
Fabrication technologies allowed this dragon-skin pavilion to be constructed in 8 days. It is made of 163 plywood pieces that were made via a CNC router that made a wooden mould in which pre-heated flat rectangular pieces where bent into shape. The calculated slots for the sliding joints were determined via current scripted algorithmic procedures. The pavilion was showcased in the Hong Kong Biennale.
