A curious sight awaits visitors at this year’s Tallinn Architecture Biennale (TAB) outside the Museum of Estonian Architecture: a monumental sculptural installation appears to have been forcefully tied in a knot by a supernatural power.Titled “Steampunk” and made from steam-bent hardwood, the voluptuous pavilion is the winner of TAB's installation programme 'Huts and habitats' and will remain in place until the next edition in 2021.The installation was designed by Soomeen Hahm and Igor Pantic, two tutors from UCL’s Barlett School of Architecture, in collaboration with Gwyllim Jahn and Cameron Newnham, whose Australian company Fologram facilitates the construction of complex designs through the use of Augmented Reality (AR) software, and Format Engineers. Primitive in sensibility and futuristic in aspiration, Steampunk’s natural materials and organic morphology belie the pioneering technology behind its construction.
Chosen from a shortlist of more than 137 international submissions, Steampunk’s uniqueness lies not only in the complexity of the design and beauty of its shape but also in the way it was constructed, namely in the use of Mixed-Reality (MR) assembly methodologies. Undoubtedly the most impressive facet of these methodologies, more so than the CNC-milling and 3D printing of various components, was the use of interactive holographic guides in the guise of AR headsets that provided construction workers with holographic instructions on site, eliminating the need to consult drawings - a typical source of |
