About
A new way of thinking, new possibilities. That’s what this is actually all about. New in the way we produce, new in the way we collaborate, new in the outcome and new in the way it will evolve.

From the summer of 2012 Michiel van der Kley has been playing, muddling around and wondering with 3Dprinters and the fascinating possibilities of the new software at his fingertips. It made him want to do something new, really new. In a number of ways he has tried to shift boundaries with project EGG. If you are willing to have an eye for the fact that most large things often consists of a collection of small things you are suddenly not limited by the size of the printer itself. If you see the power of internet you can communicate and collaborate with people from all over the world and invite them to build together.

Presentation
Combining all the ideas he had with technology, engineering, building, inventing, parametric 3D software and design turned the whole of the process into a lovely discovery that has become this organically shaped pavilion of 4760 slightly different – unique stones, measuring 4 x 5 x 3 meters. This project crosses bridges between art, design and architecture. Project Egg moves you, makes you wonder what it is you’re experiencing. It makes you wonder about what a next step in the process of design can be. Could it be an attempt to create a new shape language?
