Expressive innovation with 3D printed elements
Studio RAP designed and started production of the facade cladding of an eye-catching boutique in Amsterdam’s most luxurious shopping street, the P.C Hooftstraat. The facade will be composed of 3d-printed ceramic tiles and is expected to be realized in the summer of 2022. By fusing the advanced methods of ceramic 3D printing, algorithmic design, and artisanal glazing, the architectural potential of ceramics and ornaments of the 21st century is revealed. The algorithmic ornaments on this facade refer to the craft of knitting garments, resulting in an exciting design language.
