EVO lamps are a design project born in the Makers Lab of The Spark creative Hub in Naples.
The geometries of these elements arise from computational design through which, in a digital environment, using algorithms, it was possible to simulate a process of generative growth. The output consists of a catalog of complex shapes that emerge stopping the evolution of the shape in precise moments.
The digital product was subsequently printed in 3d using PLA as a base material, a bioplastic derived from corn starch and mounted on a plexiglass base obtained with a laser cutter with the aim of obtaining a lamp.
The installation we are proposing for maker faire 2021 involves setting up the stand with 5 EVO lamps, a series of scaled elements to represent the generative growth and a video representative of the evolution.
The intent is to communicate the potential and approaches of digital and computational technologies in the field of design and to demonstrate their feasibility through digital fabrication.
