The project is a collaboration between AntiCAD and Wolf Studio. The installation is made possible with Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) methods.
The faceted ceiling and pillars are made with 816 unique panels, which are engraved with an alphanumeric label. These labels help the installers know the precise location of each panel. To clad the round pillars with faceted panels, they are first wrapped with a waffle structure made of fire-rated MDF. The waffled columns then serve as a base to mount the faceted panels.
Once the faceted base structure for the pillars and ceiling is ready, corresponding laser-cut wood laminates are installed onto the base structure. The end product is a homogenous cladding, that combines the ceiling and pillars into one faceted unified form.
