THE EXHIBITIONS OF INSIDE MARMOMACC - LITHIC TREE

July 25, 2013

Presenting a new exhibition organized in the cultural area of Inside Marmomacc (Hall 7B) on the occasion of the 48th edition of the event in Verona 25 to 28 September 2013. The "Lithic Tree" prototype is the outcome of the Stereotomy, new and old practices stage scheduled in Troyes at the S.N.B.R. company. The stage will see the production of the trunk of the structural stone tree using integrated CAD/CAM/CNC systems and parametric infographic modelling, followed by assembly of the structure and related load testing. The "tree" structure, comprising the trunk/pillar and overhanging branches, will be created thanks to specific and innovative active and passive structural pre-stressing techniques.
