FULL PROJECT HERE

The cardboard design work started from an initial prototype produced in our studio. Through parametric variations, we generated the design of the entire roof. The intervention extends over a warped roof surface of almost 400 m2. Our proposal finally took shape in 189 polygonal modules, all of them different, with a base of about 2 m and variable height. In total more than 1000 unique pieces, numbered, ordered and with a specific predefined position.
