The project
A research department at UPV commissioned Archicercle to manufacture a set of components for experiments with waves and material properties. Named MICROBIOTECH, the project translated an experimental design into physical components.
Archicercle’s contribution focused on manufacturing the supplied design. The commission continued a collaboration with UPV, which, according to the project documentation, had worked with the studio on previous occasions.
Teflon and brass were the principal materials used. The components were milled to tolerances that allowed them to fit together. This fit between components was a specific aspect of manufacturing the assembly.
The set combines white rectangular components, flat elements with a metallic appearance and an open frame. Details include a copper-coloured square spiral and circular forms, alongside rectangular recesses. These geometries are part of the experimental design manufactured for the research.
