Sliced Horse: a horse in layers of wood

The project

Sliced Horse translates the volume of a horse into a figure built from stacked wooden sections. Archicercle’s contribution covered modelling the horse, dividing the model into parts and fabricating the figure through layer-by-layer assembly.

The work begins with a digital model of the horse, which is then divided into sections for fabrication in wood. Each section represents part of the volume; when stacked, the successive profiles form the figure. This breakdown into parts connects the modelled shape with the pieces assembled in physical form.

The layers remain visible on the surface: their edges define the head, neck and changing contours of the horse. The documentation records this sectional construction as the piece was being developed; the posts announced that the final result would be presented later.
