Cellular Wrap is a exhibition pavilion based on the use of 3D printing for casting complex architectural forms.
Currently, Additive Manufacturing techniques in use are lacking in providing material performances suitable for building applications, especially for the context of Dubai where extreme climatic conditions are very demanding.
To overcome the existing limitations, the project is conceived from the use of cellular solids to create lightweight and resistant structures.
Porosity becomes an intelligent way of distributing and minimizing material usage, while contributing to novel spatial features.
