Wall panel · 2018

A full carved wooden wall panel with branching edges and large rounded openings.
Wall panel

Neural Networks starts from the rules behind natural behaviours.

Instead of using stylistic symbols, as design usually does, the panel follows a set of procedures based on structural performance and simulates natural systems.

Rules from nature

I base these rules on testing and modelling nature's systems, as a source for learning and problem solving and for a more efficient design.

The panel at Beirut Design Week

The panel was later shown at Beit Beirut, the Beirut House Museum, curated by Ghassan Salamé and Adorno within the Beirut Collection, as part of Beirut Design Week 2018.
