Emotion Through Form: A Museum of Tsunami

This project explores the emotional potential of architectural space through the design and fabrication of a museum using 3D concrete printing. The goal was to create spaces that evoke deep human responses by experimenting with texture, form, and spatial narrative. The museum serves as a canvas to understand the expressive power of materiality, especially textured concrete walls, to enhance user experience. The project unfolded in two phases: the first focused on concept design, development, and prototyping a section using robotic 3D printing, while the second refined the design, integrating lessons learned to fabricate an evolved prototype.
