The project exploits the affinities between two technologies that were rapidly advancing during the early 2000s: scripting and fibre-reinforced composite materials. Among its innovations was an early, highly complex 3D-printed model realized through a collaboration with 3D Systems. The project's point of departure was a script, Weaver, that "weaves" 3D-modelled structural tubes along vectors that intersect one another at repeating increments, generating different densities and patterns of lines according to variable parameters. Carbon Tower pairs this geometry with the formal and structural possibilities of laminated composites, materials commonly used by industries that require high-strength and lightweight integrated structures and shells, such as aerospace engineering, and Formula 1 -- car and racing-sailboat construction."--  |c provided by distributor
