RMIT SCHOOL OF DESIGN

The design of the project draws on and reflects innovations developed through RMIT’s research into advanced design processes and fabrication techniques. In particular the studios are wrapped in intricate, algorithmically designed, 3D printed polymer walls. These are an expression of new design potential enabled by an innovative robotic large-scale 3D printing technique developed at RMIT by Roland Snooks.

In combining structure and ornament these advanced manufacturing techniques are used to create polymer surfaces that express design and technological innovation.

Melbourne, completion February 2020
