Parametric Spatial Mapping
Parametric Spatial Mapping: a project by Alexander Frings (2023), in the Computational design and digital fabrication family.
Color as data. Data as geometry. A translation exercise where spatial information (density, flow, temperature) becomes built volume. The form isn't decorative: it's the direct consequence of what the data says.
