Radiolaria represents a micro-architecture experiment developed by Andrea Morgante of Shiro Studio in association with d-Shape.
In 2008 d-Shape successfully developed the very first 3D mega printer that allows seamless and free-form construction of monolithic structures on a large scale.
The Radiolaria pavilion aimed to define a complex, self-supporting structure that could demonstrate and test this pioneering construction technique. Measuring 3×3×3 meters, the structure represents a scale model of the final pavilion, due to be built in 2010; this pavilion will be 10 meters high and will be built in Pontedera, Italy.
