The facade of this building is actually made up of custom ceramic tiles that are designed algorithmically and 3D printed with specialized robots. Studio RAP is the Rotterdam-based architecture firm behind this facade, which extends down to the street level in white-glazed tiles that undulate like the waves of a very turbulent sea.
Studio RAP co-founder Lucas ter Hall says the basis of the design is computational, but the focus is always on the production of the physical end product. We're interested in how you can actually make these complex shapes, he says.
