Architecture that listens to the land
South Tyrol promotes sustainable architecture that arises from a dialogue with the landscape. An approach that combines innovation, tradition and territorial identity.
Using 3D printing Lovegrove wanted to create tessellations which challenge the current cutting edge processes and achieving high-resolution details in the area of 0.05 –0.1m.
He prototyped various production methods such as DMLS (direct metal laser sintering) and 3D wax printing combined with lost wax casting.
The tessellations have been iterated multiple times and rings positioned in the machine in an optimised way to allow the most precise detailing.
Final methods, partners and machine set ups shall remain secret until after their initial launch.
The final rings are pure 18kt gold and used 3D printing for the actual object rather than just created in a conventional mould process.
