Lamellae
Lamellae uses a bespoke multi-agent computational model to generate a geometrically complex but refined and conceptually precise shelving system that can be endlessly customized to adapt to existing spaces and the display of unique objects. Although it has an almost baroque sculptural presence, awareness of fabrication and assembly constraints built into the generative design allow it to be realized through various efficiencies: swarf cutting reduces cnc machine time and allows flatpack delivery, assembly sequence is self-supporting, and precise joinery ensures accurate placement and fit..
Lamellae Multifunctional Shelving by Trevor Ryan Patt has been highlighted as an outstanding example of strategy design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Lamellae Multifunctional Shelving was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in Generative, Algorithmic, Parametric and AI-Assisted Design in 2021. The A' Generative, Algorithmic, Parametric and AI-Assisted Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design recognition program which honors exceptional design of algorithmic artworks, parametric architectures, generative graphics, AI-Assisted illustrations, computational sculptures, procedural patterns, evolutionary installations, interactive experiences and more.
