Tangled
textile logics in a 3d printed
multi-performance building skin
Work submitted for the thesis for the Master of Arts in Architecture at CITAstudio: Computation in Architecture, The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (KADK).
A 3d printed textile-like building skin akin to the chainmail logic of interlocking knots modulates local differentiation of its topology, gradual material changes and strategic mineral scaling deposition. Consequently the skin becomes structurally rigid or fluid like a cloth, opaque or translucent, blurring the boundaries and allowing the exchange of particles or preserving an interior microclimate.
