concrete balusters
This project explores the intersection of digital design, custom fabrication, and on-site casting. The balusters were designed to seamlessly extend the language of an adjacent freestanding concrete wall that was robotically milled, continuing its flowing geometry around a free-form curved opening in the mezzanine floor.
Molds were 3D printed, a steel support structure was welded, and the balusters were cast on site using high-strength concrete, then lifted into place for installation.
