Don't ask why but this song just seemed fitting with what this post is about. It dark, gritty yet altogether glamorous at the same time, and f*ck me at the degree of anticipation Yeezy manages to build up with the introduction instrumental...and obviously Frank Ocean crooning over it just adds to the whole vibe. All in all, sick song...one of the best off the WTT album, and I love the anarchist vibe of the video. So anyway, back to what this post is really about, take a lot at this room interior:

So the images above are 1:3 scale models of an entire room that will be entirely made by 3D printing! Apart from being f*cking crazily amazing, considering that a whole space will be constructed by way of a printer, the interior is also sick. It kind of reminds of the interiors of baroque/renaissance churches, especially the gilded model images, whilst the white interior images are reminiscent of melting wax forming its own organic patterns.
Architects Michael Hansmeyer and Benjamin Dillenburger claim that "Inspired by the natural process of cell division, we develop an algorithm that iteratively divides and transforms the initial geometry of a simple cube," ; they continue "Despite simple rules, a complex world of forms arises at multiple scales: between ornament and structure, between order and chaos, foreign and yet familiar: a digital grotesque."
All I know is that this is amazingly beautiful and yet ugly all in one, on the one hand it resembles an underwater cave covered in stalactite and stalagmites and on the other, it could be mistaken for baroque interior design. The architects definitely got it right when naming it Digital Grotesque. I need to visit this!
