The Brick




Inside a Brick: Photogrammetry, a brick broken, scanned into point clouds and sliced. 

Building with Brick, 2022[Material] Brick x Stainless Steel [Process]: Chisel  
The blemished brick, like all discarded things, holds the potential to transform into something significant. The whole brick was scanned, chiselled, arranged, and rearranged until a concept formed. Two monolithic cores are joined by thin stacked plates. The interior condition of one of these cores was explored further with another model, which was inspired by the stereotomic architecture of Ensamble Studio [Tia Piano Fishtail, Montana, USA 2015 & Musical Studies Centre Santiago de Compostela, 2002]. The afterlife of this project could be to create a process. Scanning construction waste realtime to be used for 1:100 and 1:1 scale, and scanned objects are to become digital assets in the BIM ecosystem.
