‘VULCAN’ takes precedent from LCD’s (laboratory for creative design) long term research in the spatial form of cocoons, where we constantly search for suitable methods for 3D printing and its artistic reinterpretations,’ the team explain. ‘in extrapolating the form from the cocoon’s biological parent body, we seek to combine the 3D printing and spatial construction pro-cesses with the activities at the beijing international design week. it will create an open plan ‘parent body’ that can accommodate various activities for the public.’
1,086 different 3D-printed constructive units comprise the eight meter long, nearly three meter tall structure.
