Scalable Porosity is exhibited 2017 at Centre Pompidou in Paris. It presents Design to Robotic Production (D2RP) methods developed by the Robotic Building team introducing porosities at different scales, ranging from micro levels, as material systems, to macro levels as spatial, structural and architectural configurations. The aim was to develop material patterns that by additive layering will generate variable porosities. Due to production process constraints within this exercise, the focus was on the porosity ranges millimetre to centimetre achieved by means of robotic material deposition.
