We engineered and manufactured every single component of the Spanish Pavilion at EXPO2020 Dubai. From the tree of equilibrium to the 142 columns and bushes, adapting structural and lighting constraints to a new design-to-manufacturing workflow.
The whole project represents a built manifesto merging computation, advanced manufacturing, and material technology, shaping a new ecology triggered by PURE.TECH During the construction we didn’t have to repeat a single piece, a big explanation on how much 3D printing can define a new construction protocol.
Almost 1500 pieces printed, manufactured and engineered in less than 4 months of continuous production, without having to repeat a single piece: explanation on how much 3D printing can define a new construction protocol as well as a new design to manufacturing workflow.
