Too many sharp edges for a real room. Someone could bump into the walls and get hurt.
Lots of detail on the printing, though.
You have to dust it with a gas power leaf blower
You would never want to do LSD around that thing,
you’d melt.
That known as Roccoco-Baroque Deluxe
They stole the robot from my av program.
Consider that 3-D printing is in its infancy. Eventually, we will be able to print out masterpieces that are over a billion times more artistic than what Michelangelo or Vincent Van Gogh ever put out.
Meh. Call me when it can print out folded socks and an ironed shirt.
Maybe Gaudi, but I think it has an H.R. Giger feel to it.
This guy said it pretty well.
“They didn’t expect that 3D-printed houses would start rolling off the presses any time soon. But one architectural history professor called it “a peek over the technological horizon.”
As a fan of Gaudi, this could extend his style. Imagine a color / reflectivity scheme applied to something this detailed.
This is trivial!
To truly advance life as we know it; they need to employ all the obamaphone users pecking away on the keypads.
No thoughtful input is required! Just keep pecking away.Butt calls OK too!
As everyone knows this will produce an infinite amount of great works.Given sufficient time.
It may take some work to sift out the usable bits. When the obamacare programming team has that thing ready they could pivot on to this most necessary project.
Yes, it’s gaudy alright.
"Grotesque" is definitely the right word. It may be a "3D printing" tour-de-force, but IMO is just plain ugly.
Great post!
The question of “can it be done?” having long since been answered, the question “why do it?” surfaces.
IMHO the facility of the technology making form making dependent only on the whim of the designer or the unfolding of an algorithm produces the same emptiness experienced in virtual space.
For some real fun with neo-gaudi high techno-gothic, look at the stuff Mark West is doing at University of Manitoba:

In this case, the form can only be anticipated, as the elasticity of the fabric form work and the cure time of the concrete conspire in the design as much as the architects do.
10 years from now, God willing, we’ll be looking back and laughing at the primitiveness of all this, like we do now at Pong or the Commodore computers or record players in cars.
I think you’re right. Probably by up scaling the printer like this:
