Digital Grotesque is the first fully immersive,
solid, human-scale, enclosed structure that is entirely 3D printed out
of sand. This structure, measuring 16 square meters, is materialized
with details at the threshold of human perception. Every aspect of this
architecture is composed by custom-designed algorithms.
