Digital Grotesque I - Printing Architecture       

Digital Grotesque is the first fully immersive, solid, human-scale, enclosed structure that is entirely 3D-printed out of sand. This structure, measuring 16 square meters, is materialized with details at the threshold of human perception. Every aspect of this architecture is composed by custom-designed algorithms.

The combination of additive manufacturing and computational design produces a new, non-standardized, highly differentiated and spatially complex architecture. An architecture emerges between chaos and order, both natural and artificial, yet neither foreign nor familiar: a Digital Grotesque.
