Cloud Effects
Cloud Affects is an architectural and sonic installation developed in collaboration between Professor Roland Snooks (RMIT Architecture) and Professor Philip Samartzis (RMIT Art). The project, originally exhibited at the Shenzhen Biennale, 2019, explores the design implications of polymer skins
reinforced with carbon fibre lattices. The architectural installation was 3D printed at RMIT through a robotic technique to create highly intricate and complex forms.
Project Team: Roland Snooks, Hesam Mohamed, Charlie Boman, Nic Bao, Gavin Bufton, Caitlyn Parry, Marc Gibson, Dasong Wang
Sound Art: Philip Samartzis
Install and Fabrication Team: Zhaonan Harlen Guo, Echo Wenging Yue, David Nan Yang, Clare Wu, Ethan Liu, Weiqi Xie, Capri Zhao Liu, Juri Salluzzo.
Structural engineering: Mike Xie and Xin Yan (RMIT CISM)
Supported by: National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), RMIT University School of Architecture and Urban Design, RMIT University School of Art, RMIT University ECP, and Boeing.

Unclear Clouds
Unclear Cloud, commissioned by the National Gallery of Victoria, explores a synthetic relationship of surface and structure through this 3D printed tectonic demonstrator project. The project expands on the logic developed in the Cloud Affects project, which demonstrated an approach to reinforcing 3D printed skins with an infused carbon fibre skeleton.
The project was developed in collaboration with the sound artist Philip Samartzis, who composed a sound installation from recordings including of melting glaciers and data centres that power AI.

Bio-Composite
The project, Composite BioForms, is exhibited in the Printed Tectonics show for the NGV Melbourne Design Week. In this series of prototypes we are printing the outer skins of the walls in wood-bioplastics and recycled plastics with embedded
natural fibre composite tensile structural reinforcement (flax), within which a mycelium core is grown for compressive structure and insulation. We are developing an approach to fabricating biodegradable sandwich panels without petrochemicals.
