FLOE
2017
Floe draws on the atmospheric effects of the Antarctic landscape to create a theatrical architectural installation designed in response to a sound work by Philip Samartzis. The project, commissioned by the National Gallery of Victoria for the Triennial Extra program, explores the architectural implications of algorithmic design through pre-fabricated, robotic 3D fabrication.
The translucent skin of the tower is composed of seventy unique overlapping semi-clear polymer panels, which were 3D printed. These 3D printed translucent panels are interwoven with a folded steel structure generated through an agentBody algorithmic approach.
