Located on the highest summit of the Harghita Mountains of Transylvania , the Kapolna Madaras is a small pilgrimage chapel open to all, including travelers as well as local villagers. For generations, Szekely Roman Catholics have been making the annual summer trek to Madaras to witness the homage to, and blessing of local saints.

The chapel is a proclamation of dualities, which even in themselves are contained further histories of the human condition, both natural and man-made; it is at once "the cathedral" and "the cave"; temporary and permanent, cultured and primitive. The space allows the ceiling to disappear into the heights, and the eye and mind are drawn upward in ascent. The light filtering in from behind the nave provides a quiet glow, while the small occuli overhead allow precise shafts of light at certain times throughout the day and year. The truncated toroidal form can appear extremely light and billowed, or massive and inert; resembling both a tent and a stone. The textural play of the interior

ACTLAB, the experimental architecture laboratory at the Politecnico di Milano University in Italy has announced the completion of its 3D printed Trabeculae Pavilion. The ethereal, lightweight shell, which spans 36 square meters, demonstrates how 3D printing and bio-inspired computational design can come together to create truly stunning architecture.

We first got wind of the Trabeculae Pavilion project last year, when ACTLAB presented a preview of the 3D printed structure at Made Expo 2017. The project, led and designed by doctoral researcher and Assistant Professor at the University of Southern Denmark Roberto Naboni, explores how 3D printing can be used as a solution to the increasing scarcity of material resources.

The Trabeculae Pavilion itself consists of a load-responsive shell made up of 352 components, each printed using a high-resistance biopolymer developed in collaboration with Italian filament producer FILOALFA. Join @EthioRhino
