about this project:
for st. laurentius in altmühldorf we realized the new retable as an eight-metre, concave lattice that frames the crucifix and reads like a bionic network. from the digital model we developed a kit of 60 unique polyamide modules, planned the joints and assembly, produced the prints, and finished them with a bronze–aluminium thermal-spray coating to achieve the stable, gold sheen. the cell density shifts from coarse in the center to finer at the edges, giving stiffness without mass and keeping the visual focus on the liturgical axis.
