The project
Manuel Diaz made this architectural model for his final-year degree project. Archicercle carried out the laser cutting and engraving of the balsa wood components, contributing these fabrication services to the model made by its author.
The work used balsa wood in thicknesses of 1, 1.5, 2, 5 and 6 mm. Archicercle’s involvement covered both laser cutting and laser engraving of the components.
The model is arranged on an elongated base, with a large central rectangular void and a volume rising above the rest of the structure. Repeated elements in this upper volume form an open framework that reveals its spatial arrangement.
