Description
This large-scale 3D-printed artwork was completed and installed at Pancras Square. It features Mamou-Mani’s signature pattern, enhanced by dynamically programmed wave lighting.
A Grasshopper-to-robot workflow was developed to generate fabrication files and optimise geometry, print settings and toolpaths. LED channels were integrated directly into the structure, while the number of printing planes was minimised to reduce weight and improve print quality.
