Miami Scope Artworks — 3D Printed Parametric Sculptures

3D-printed parametric sculptures created as tributes to fluidity in architecture — interlocking parts generated algorithmically from organic shapes like water droplets and vines, exhibited during Art Basel Miami.

Concept

Each sculpture captures movement and change through dynamic, expressive form. Parametric modeling generated complex, variable interlocking parts; overall forms were derived algorithmically from organic fluid shapes found in nature — water droplets, vines — and iterated until they captured the desired sense of movement.

A direct physical precursor to the digital droplets of Meta-Materials and the generative objects of Sólleria.
