FABMOB – 3D print the atmosphere
“[We] want to reveal the *forms and information* that we cannot ordinarily see: to make the immaterial> material; that which is virtual> physical; that which is digital> concrete,” the designers say on their website.
“For designers, it means that captured data will be coherently applied to the transformation of the mathematical representation of a three-dimensional surface of object, thus used to generate that object’s form.”
Once a 3D surface is generated and printed, the architecture-trained designers want users to use the resulting ‘tiles’ for installation purposes for reflecting on the atmosphere as it was gathered.
