Cera una volta

Once upon a time is the story of a place for an olfactory experience in the age of 3D printers.
The challenge is to experiment together the most immaterial and immanent sense with the culture of diffuse factory and of the makers, proposing a different aesthetic than the visual that has dominated so far.
Once upon a time it is made up of cells – modules marked with an olfactory identity and modeled parametrically. What shape can create a sense of smell? What archetypes may join.

DIFFUSE FACTORY

The capillary diffusion of 3D printers both in professional and domestic areas allows us, just by writing a code, to send files to anyone who has access to a 3D printer and, therefore, to produce the necessary pieces simultaneously.

As soon as the pieces are ready, they can be shipped to the construction site in order to be assembled. This method of production is extremely efficient and time-saving as a large plant is not needed.

LET’S WORK TOGETHER

As this story is based on a collective work, it constantly needs active support from anyone who would like to take part in it, namely:

3D PRINTER PRODUCERS

Let’s combine our common passion to create something unique! Anyone who owns a

3D printer which can produce pieces with the characteristics listed above, is invited to realize the vault with us.

FILAMENT PRODUCERS

We estimate that it takes about 30 kg of material for the construction of the vault. Your participation will make you experience its high performance and the unique materials.
