NATURAL SCIENCE MUSEUM-D-SHAPE

This project was conceived to join the contest: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natural city, Berlin natural science museum, international ideas competition of architectureâ&#x20AC;?. The competition required to develop a concept for the museum of natural science at Berlin. For such type of building we felt the "natural shape" as the best choice. The wish to design a building reproducing the shape of some natural elements such as some kind of minerals, it had to meet with current construction techniques. After careful research on new technologies, our attention was captured by a 3D printer of free forms of any size: d-shape (not scale models but elements in 1: 1 by an inorganic perfectly environmentally friendly component that turns sand in solid rock). "What could not be done, can be done now". Starting then two inputs: play some natural conformation and the use of technology, we designed our museum. "The infinitely small becames huge, grows into the invisible giant and you can walk into something you have never seen."

Questo progetto è stato ideato per la partecipazione al contest: NATURAL CITY, BERLIN NATURAL SCIENCE MUSEUM, INTERNATIONAL IDEAS COMPETITION OF ARCHITECTURE. Il concorso richiedeva di sviluppare un concept per la realizzazione di un museo di scienze naturali a Berlino. Dovendo sviluppare una proposta per una tale tipologia di edificio non abbiamo potuto prescindere dall'affrontare il tema delle "forme naturali". La volontà di realizzare un edificio che possa riprodurre la conformazione di alcuni elementi naturali come ad es.certi minerali, si è dovuta scontrare con le attuali tecniche costruttive. Dopo un'attenta ricerca sulle nuove tecnologie,

ha colpito la nostra attenzione una stampante che stampa forme libere di qualsiasi dimensione: D-Shape (non modelli in scala ma elementi in formato 1:1 tramite un bicomponente inorganico perfettamente ecocompatibile che trasforma la sabbia in solida roccia). What couldn't be done, now can be done. Partendo quindi da due imput, riprodurre alcune conformazione naturali e l'utilizzo della tecnologia D-shape, abbiamo sviluppato il nostro museo. "The infinitely small becames huge, the invisible grows into giant and you can walk in something you have never seen".
