Subdivision: Ornamented Columns by Michael Hansmeyer

Educated as an architect and computer programmer, Michael Hansmeyer intends to create a new kind of architectural expression using the mathematics of algorithms. The 2.7 meter high columns are fabricated as a layered model with sheets 1mm thick. The individually cut sheets are stacked and held together by poles that run through a common core.  To cut the sheets, the astonishing 6 million faces of the 3D model are intersected with a plane representing the sheet.
