UPVBOX: an electronics enclosure for UPV

The project

The R&D department at Universidad Politécnica de Valencia commissioned Archicercle to manufacture an enclosure for electronic components. UPVBOX is the result: a plywood enclosure made for the university team to fit the electronics at a later stage.

The studio’s work covered laser cutting the plywood parts, sanding their edges and assembling the enclosure. After cutting, the edges of each part were finished before the panels were joined together.

The enclosure has a cubic form, with a lid perforated by a regular pattern of circular holes and a larger circular opening in one of its vertical panels. Interlocking joints remain visible along the edges, revealing how the separate plywood parts come together.

Archicercle’s contribution focused on making the wooden enclosure. Fitting the electronic components was intended as a subsequent stage for the UPV team.
