DIGEST, Digest, digest: A Building Facade

Client: Independent Research
Location: Los Angeles, 90007
Year: 2025

Materials: Plaster, PLA Plastic, Plastic Vacuform, Rigid Polyurethane Foam, 3D Printing, Steel Rods

Techniques: CNC Milling, Vacuum Forming, 3-D Printing, 

For this building facade project, I digitally modeled a texture inspired by organic tissue and developed it through a computational design workflow. The surface geometry was first prototyped through 3D printing, then scaled using CNC-milled high-density foam molds. These molds were used for vacuum forming plastic sheets, which were later cast in plaster to produce the final surface modules. The surface system was then translated into a façade application, where panel dimensions, joint geometry, and connection logic were computationally generated to ensure modular consistency and structural integration. Four full-scale façade panels, each measuring 2 ft × 2 ft, were fabricated to test assembly, material behavior, and constructability.
