Entry Description

The Asheville Museum of Algorithmic Art (MOAA) is a museum designed to celebrate algorithmic design as a new medium of humanistic art. The museum itself expresses this by utilizing algorithmic design in its structural expression. Existing between the Industrial Revolution and on the horizon of the Digital Age, the museum creates a new structural order through a 3D printed steel groin vaulting system. The diameter of each structural member within the groin vault remains consistent while the density of the interior lattice varies with direct correlation to the structural load it carries.
