Description : The studio embarks on its first collaborative project with Architect Rudy Ricciotti for original façade designs made from high-performance concrete. The agency developed a system of parametric molds composed of complex and unique patterns while maintaining select fixed connection points for reversibility and interchangeability. This is a highly refined and uncommon design practice in which a monolithic façade has different configurations in order to avoid repetitious graphics.

The Architect imagined a facade that would elude a landscape of “moon and dust”. Process is a fundamental element of the design as the concrete is poured into eight different molds creating a cellular patterned mantilla to serve as the exterior facade.
