Studio RAP 3D prints six-meter-tall ceramic entrance for Dubai hotel Professional Additive Manufacturing
Dutch architectural design company Studio RAP is becoming a prolific creator of iconic 3D printed spaces and building features. Based out of Rotterdam, the studio combines computational design and digital fabrication (i.e. robotic3D printing) in order to transform built space—often with a nod to the traditional. Its recent projects include an algorithmically designed, 3D printed storefront in central Amsterdam, and a series of 3D printed ceramic tiles, inspired by traditional Delft ceramics, that can be used in the construction of aesthetic cladding walls. The company’s newest endeavour, a project called Blue Voyage, might just be its most impressive yet.
