Materials:
Plywood, Polystyrene, Jesmonite, Sto-render
AL_A provided a 95% complete CAD ‘concept’ model which we tailored to fit the existing architecture, which was subtly different on each of the four floors. This was then sectioned and a ply-wood super-structure of interlocking profiles was CNC cut from the CAD model. This timber grid structure was then covered with thin ply-wood sheet, or where the compound curves were extreme filled with polystyrene blocks. Matt (one of our resident sculptors) and Ryan (who’s experience is in hand sculpting surf-boards), then carved and shaped the foam, using the grid as reference. The foam/ply was then coated with Jesmonite plaster and glass fibre, and finished with a smooth Sto-render.
