The directorate of Vilamajó House Museum requested Fab Lab MVD to make a scale model, sectioned by levels, in order to be displayed on a piece of furniture designed by Architect Julio Vilamajó.
As a first approach to the building, the digital model was made based on the existing documentation for its subsequent realization at 1:50 scale, using digital fabricaction tools, specifically a CNC router.
This project had continuity later in 2014, as part of the exhibition “La Aldea Feliz”, and in 2017, through a series of models manufactured by Fab Lab MVD through laser cutting and 3D printing, as part of the “Masters of National Architecture” Collection.
