| Architectural construction is all about the assembly of parts. And complex architecture consists of large numbers of individual parts.
One of our favorite details is a little extruded aluminum dovetail profile that we used for several constructions. More than three thousand of them are needed to connect the 2164 pieces of Daniel Libeskind’s sculpture Futuropolis. And besides looking good each of them saved a few minutes of labor time, because they make it unnecessary to clamp the pieces during the hardening of the glue.
designtoproduction helps to rationalize complex design
based on a thorough understanding of the production process.
Integrating thorough knowledge about fabrication technologies, materials and joints into the detailing leads to smarter, leaner, and more rational production processes – and to a result that comes close to the intention of the original design without busting the budget. We constantly investigate new materials, components and fabrication technologies in order to find simple solutions for complex form. |
