Zaha Hadid Architects unveiled a new experimental structure as part of Milan?s White In The City Exhibition during the city?s annual Salone del Mobile. Held at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in the heart of Milan?s design district, the exhibition explored the contemporary use of white color in design and architecture across various locations in the city. Named the Thallus ? after the Greek word for flora that is not differentiated into stem and leaves, the sculpture is the latest in ZHA?s investigations using 3D printing technology. Thallus continues Zaha Hadid Architects? Computational Design (ZHA CoDe) group?s research into generating geometries through robotic-assisted design.
