Project Title:
Magnetic ColumnShown:
UCLA Rumble 2017This sculpture demonstrates the abilities of a new building method as well as the frozen aesthetic of magnetism. A robotic arm precisely places a strong magnetic panel which will be used to shape an iron powder and resin mixture deposited by another arm. As one section hardens, another can be built off of it - thus the system is generatively produced.
The result shows a stark contrast between smooth, reflective exterior and defined, ragged interior. As a whole, the sculpture is meant to represent two components in architectural design with the same method - the structural column and protective skin.
This project was done in collaboration with Tian Lou and Nazli Tatar.
