CHINESE PAVILION AT
2018 VENICE BIENNALE
Then the continuous geometry of the pavilion is pixelated into a series of
discrete components, each of which contains a unique crystalized printing
tool-path.
And as the stress on the overall form would be distributed into the pixels of
the grid system, the entire network has to be modified into 5 types of
different densities according to different structural performance along the
surface.
The pavilion is constructed by prefabricated production. The main part is
divided into 50 different printing components at the early stage of the
design according to the internal stress distribution in the structure. The
prefabricated components, including the seat and base, are all packed and
transported to the biennial Venice exhibition field after the completion of
the prefabrication of the robot printing in Shanghai factory. The whole
construction process integrates the process from off-site factory
customization to on-site assembly.
Based on the support of digital design and robotic construction technology,
the Cloud Village demonstrates the full integration of structural performance
analysis technology with the designed form and establishes a new model of
production in building industry.
