PIECES OF BRIAN – SAND PUT THROUGH ITS PACES
Joyh Design
26.9.–5.10.2025
Joyh Design’s installation celebrates new forms of space, material innovation, and commitment to the environment. “BRIAN” stands for “Behavioral, Responsive, Innovative, Adaptive, and Nurturing” and refers to a component printed with 3D sand that is not just an object, but a living system. “BRIAN” is part of a research-oriented design project that reimagines building envelopes by integrating local sand, additive manufacturing, and advanced digital design to create thermally responsive walls. These offer a sustainable alternative to the overly complex facades of modern architecture. The 3D sand-printed patterns were produced in collaboration with technology partners Voestalpine and Sandhelden.
