A giant wheel that turns and spins, spitting all over drops of paint with great precision and movement at the same time... it was time to move forward again, as all the things and situations that were done before were preparing us for this particular moment, for a new step…
I woke up.
We were in New York celebrating Christmas with the kids after a long and exhausting year working architectural projects of all types…
The room had a view to the backyard, very early, with the blue sky and the sun touching every building, every water tank and the white streets with the white snow covering all the flat surfaces…
Still feeling the movement of the wheel, with its unstoppable turns and spins, and looking to my own private view, I realize that I needed to find this machine: I took a pencil and a paper and I draw the machine as I saw it on my dream…
The search began on google (2002) for:
Painting machine
Drawing machine
Circular machine
Spinning machine
Sculpture machine
And all the possible combinations…
In 2002 the possible combinations were not even the tenth that we have right now if we had a dream like this and start googling it!
I came across digital Fabrication, a new way (at least for me) of expressing myself with great precision, a new brush, a new canvas.
That is how we found CNC technology:
computer numerical control, the future of design.
Without hesitation we jumped again and bought the machine, our painting machine that would change the course of our practice and that as we found after would do everything spinning and spinning!
Very early we found out that we needed to create a new business for this machine, as we had a conventional workshop related in some way to our architectural practice, this type of technology required more knowledge and new ways of seeing things in a different perspective unknown for us at the moment.
