CONTOUR
Description
A collaboration with Austrian 3D printed concrete specialists Concrete3D, Contour is a 3D printed concrete bench combining environmentally friendly printing technology with bespoke design. Launched at the Vorarlberger Architektur Institut, the feature bench has been developed with sustainability and its local context in mind. In its form, Contour takes inspiration from the surrounding landscape of Vorarlberg. Organic curvatures are printed layer by layer to reveal the topographical layers of the mountainscapes coupled together to form the seat. This design language continues into the elevation of the bench itself, as it mimics the peaks and troughs of the skyline of Vorarlberg. Contour is printed using new robotic technology that requires no formwork. The use of this innovative solution provides limitless choices in geometry and the ability to create bespoke curvature whilst saving resources. In the design process, the concrete mixture is optimised to create a material thickness and then tried and tested to ensure structural stability with the least material use possible.
