LO – 03 : COMPUTATIONAL FABRICATION

Chalgrin by Quadri Fiore Architecture is an exploration on mesh sheets and wood-skin. The elegantly tessellated design creates a unique experience as an entrance and almost seems to warp the space.

The tessellation seamlessly flows with the space, so much so that the design takes even windows, arches, spotlights, and doors into consideration. This project was executed using Quadri Fiore’s custom MESH-SHEETS, which allow for the structure to wrap around the space the way that it does. The firm utilised their own program where they were able to abstract and manipulate the fabrication as needed.

This form of “wood-skin” is very commonly seen, especially in architecture. Creating forms which appear free flowing and random are often products of complex and intricate iterations, based solely on a system which allows for forms to be organic.
