Decorative Lattice Structure
This architectural-scale decorative lattice structure is a stunning fusion of computational design and large-format 3D printing. Designed as a sculptural pavilion or walk-in installation, it features flowing organic curves formed by a repeating grid of perforated cells—offering both aesthetic beauty and structural function.
Design & Form
Geometry:
The structure consists of a continuous, undulating surface defined by a three-dimensional grid of square or diamond-shaped apertures. Its organic, asymmetrical form gently curves inward and outward, creating dynamic visual flow and spatial intrigue.
Scale & Presence:
Standing at human height (approx. 2.5–3 meters), the piece invites interaction—allowing people to walk through or around it. Its volume is both monumental and porous, providing shelter, shade, and sculptural presence without bulk.
Entry Point:
A carved, polygonal entrance or cut-out invites exploration, making it ideal for pavilions, exhibitions, or public art installations.
🔹 Material & Fabrication
Material:
Printed from sustainable composite materials (such as recycled polymers or fiber-reinforced pellets), providing strength and weather resistance for outdoor use.
Printing Method:
Additive manufacturing via large-scale extrusion, with visible horizontal striations that enhance the tactile quality and reveal the layer-by-layer build process.
Structural Logic:
The lattice not only reduces material usage but also distributes weight efficiently. It leverages parametric design tools for precision in wall thickness, aperture size, and stability.
