Babiy Yar Memorial model fabrication

With the ArchiLab exhibition Naturalizing Architecture closing next week, we are posting a few images to explain the fabrication of one of our models in the exhibition - Babiy Yar Memorial. The model is built in three parts. The base is milled with a Kuka robot and finished with automotive paint. The shell of the museum is 3D printed in plaster. The atrium is 3D printed in resin. 

The assembled model on display at the FRAC Orleans

The base was milled from high density polyurethene (RenShape), using a Kuka KR60HA robot at RMIT University

The shell of the museum was 3D printed in 4 parts on a Z-Corp powder printer (plaster), at RMIT University
