Exhibited in MILAN DESIGN week from 15 -20 April 2024

The projects explore a hybrid concept of resolution through robotics fabrication set forth by the fabrication and robotics research theme led by professor Fadhil Fadhil in relation to the concept of Mimesis set forth by HoperAperta curated by Patrizia Catalano and Maurizio Barberis.

Deconstructing Muqarnas 

"This prototype proposes a lighting installation that combines both light and shadow interactions with folded aluminium sheets.

"It is an attempt to revive lost historical craftsmanship techniques by utilising highly advanced computational design and robotics fabrication tools.

"The Muqarnas in this case is treated as a deconstructed component that manifests in three different forms.

"The first form is the wooden component that acts as a structural column, the second form are translucent resin 3D pieces and the third form is the deconstructed unfolded metal components."
