đ¨ď¸ Nagami, on printing the sustainable future of interior architecture
Nagami was founded in Manuelâs mind during a research cluster, focussed on searching for a more sustainable way of building, at The Bartlett, UCLâs Faculty of the Built Environment. While ârethinking architecture from the very coreâ, the team started to explore the use of automation within the industry, something that was already very much relied-upon in other industries such as car manufacturing. Naturally, the use of robots was a worthwhile direction of exploration.
Nagamiâs team is currently working on a âfurnishing and architecture as a subscriptionâ model. For example, a retail store that updates its physical space every six months or so can do so through a âNagami membershipâ. At the end of the season, this offering will enable these companies to return the 3D printed panels to Nagami, where they will be recycled, and reprinted in the design of the new shopfit, at a discounted rate.
