Project
The Pixel Gate
In collaboration with Studio Precht (Austria) & Arthur Mamou-Mani (London)
Providing an entranceway into the Al Bujairi heritage district for Diriyah Season 2019, The Pixel Gate demonstrated how design can be part of a circular loop by harnessing the potential of recyclable materials and ecological processes.
The four arches of The Pixel Gate consisted of 2204 3D-printed voxels and used fully biodegradable materials: a mixture of compostable PLA and wood. Each voxel was built as a lattice structure to take full advantage of the material’s capabilities, but also let light through the installation at the same time.
