The project
Architecture students’ project submissions also involve work in the workshop. Archicercle supported the preparation of their scale models with advice, component layouts and laser cutting of the parts needed to make them.
The studio’s contribution focused on preparation for fabrication: advising students, preparing component layouts and cutting the model parts. This work supports the students’ academic projects without attributing the architectural design to the workshop.
The two posts document laser cutting in progress using different materials and thicknesses: 1.15 mm Pancastar and 2 mm MDF. The layouts feature parts, cut lines and rectangular openings arranged across the sheets. The documented work covers this component production stage, before model assembly.
