Modified floor plan

Incorporated the smoothness into this one...also "hardened" the northwest edge while softening the southeast to allow for better views of the square. The apartment divisions are also a bit smoother.

Digital Grotesque . Printing Architecture

Digital Grotesque is the first fully immersive, solid, human-scale, enclosed structure that is entirely 3D printed out of sand. This structure, measuring 16 square meters, is materialized with details at the threshold of human perception. Every aspect of this architecture is composed by custom-designed algorithms.

Model developing

Try to use Gothic language. It needs refinements and fit into the site.                       Gu

Juan Tejedor New Component in progress...

This needs a lot of refinement, but after looking at flowers I'm starting to redefine my components in this manner. More edge loops and finer lines to come. 

Skeleton and skin update

After throwing the internal frame into top mod I ended up with this type of skeleton/skin situation. I threw on some colors into the rendering to test it out.

Facade Idea- Juan Tejedor

I was thinking of artriculating some of the exterior facing walls in this manner.
