Fractured Lantern

Overview

This model reads more like a procession than a single building, a row of distinct, faceted volumes, each with its own angular roofline, linked together into one continuous museum sequence.

The real challenge, and the real payoff, was the perforated lattice screens wrapping several of the volumes. Each panel is a dense, irregular pattern of interlocking triangular openings, printed thin enough to stay delicate but structurally sound enough to survive handling.

It's a good example of why we print things instead of just rendering them: the lattice screens and faceted roofs are exactly the kind of geometry that only really proves itself once it exists in your hand.
