About The Forum Pabellón
El Forum es un pabellón concebido como un espacio para encuentros, programación pública y las artes. La estructura funciona como escenario, pantalla y telón de fondo, de modo que el espacio puede adaptarse a distintos usos. Estructura y fachada se unifican en un mismo lenguaje de superficies fluidas realizadas en aluminio de grado aeroespacial. Sesenta y seis paneles únicos fueron conformados mediante formado digital de láminas, sin utillaje ni matrices, en menos de doce horas. El resultado es una estructura amplia, ligera y modular, de rápida producción y que puede ensamblarse con herramientas manuales básicas.

Se espera que The Forum Pabellón sea una invención muy elogiada, pionera y monumental que aporta un valor sin precedentes. Este diseño ganador del A' Design Award de Oro es un proyecto espectacular y respetado que beneficia enormemente y hace avanzar las fronteras del arte, la ciencia, el diseño y la tecnología. The Forum Pabellón crea intensos sentimientos de deseo, despierta la pasión, fomenta la creatividad y nos fascina.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The Forum will be a stage, a screen, an instrument, and a backdrop, creating space that can be transformed through its use as a venue for convening, public programming, and the arts, fostering a sense of community and encouraging social interaction and engagement. Forum is a prototype for a new way of using new digital sheet metal forming technologies to create large scale, lightweight structures that are easy to produce and quick to assemble.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 12700mm x 5700mm x 3100mm
- Tags
- 3D printed, digital manufacturing, parametric modeling,sheet metal forming
- Production Technology
- The design was created in Rhino and Grasshopper with special attention given to design capabilities and constraints of the manufacturing process. Figur digital sheet forming technology was used to create each unique panel without any tooling or dies. Average time to form each aluminum component was approximately 10 minutes. The structure and façade are unified into one language of fluid surfaces composed of aerospace grade aluminum. 66 unique panels create both structure and form, created using digital sheet forming machinery in under 12 hours.
- Design Challenge
- The goal of the project was to create a new language of construction utilizing a state for the art manufacturing method. Designing and constructing a large scale installation that was lightweight, structurally sound and easy to assemble with basic hand tools were all goals of the project. The modular nature of the construction and ability of the manufacturing method to adapt to unique shapes allowed the creation of a unique modular structure.
- Research
- The team was deeply interested in the physical manifestation of objects - how they’re conceived, designed, and the craft of making. The tectonics of an object are a direct reflection and representation of how they are used and what they can achieve. It is with this understanding that we will rehearse new modes of manufacturing, assemblage and organization
- Inspiration
- The Forum design and structure was inspired by construction and assembly methods not typically found in architecture and the built environment. Specifically in aerospace and automotive manufacturing, sheet metal often has multifunction utilization. By using a single material to perform the tasks of structure, enclosure, and design we are able to create a cohesive and efficient object that becomes a blueprint for a new and unique method of construction.
- Project Duration
- The project was first exhibited in Chicago during the Chicago Architectural Biennial in 2023. It is currently being reassembled in its permanent home in a gallery space in Chicago.
