Fast Forward: e-Manufacturing In Architecture

8th July - 19th July '08

Rabih Hage Gallery
69-71 Sloane Avenue, London

Designed by Rabih Hage and built by EOS this inspirational architectural project explores the possibility of using additive layer manufacturing (also referred to as e-Manufacturing or rapid manufacturing) technology within the built environment.

The exhibition will examine the potentials of how the industrial process of e-Manufacturing might restructure the practice and making in architecture. The ability of technologies such as laser-sintering to build models and full-scale architectural projects directly from CAD files will be examined for this groundbreaking exhibition.

The project will include the design of a multifunctional exhibition pavilion built using
e-Manufacturing. The pieces to be exhibited will comprise of a section model and one external element of the pavilion at a scale of 1:1. This will be the technological challenge of the exhibition and reflect the future possibilities in architecture available today.
