The Rabih Hage Gallery will showcase an architectural project as part of the London Festival of Architecture.
The Gallery will exhibit a Pavilion designed by Rabih Hage Design Studio and built by EOS Electro Optical Systems Ltd.
This inspirational architectural project explores the possibility of using additive layer manufacturing (also referred to as e-Manufacturing or rapid manufacturing) technology within the built environment.
The exhibition will examine the potentials of how the industrial process of e-Manufacturing might restructure the practice and making in architecture.
The ability of technologies such as laser-sintering to build models and full-scale architectural projects directly from CAD files will be examined for this ground breaking exhibition.
The project will include the design of a multifunctional exhibition pavilion built using e-Manufacturing.
The pieces to be exhibited will comprise of a section model and one external element of the pavilion at a scale of 1:1.

Cross consists of two diagonal dashes. One reaching from the bottom left to the upper right - the other from top left to the bottom right.
Harajuku is famous for its shopping mile where Chanel, Dior and Bvlgari welcome you.
Following this trend are the so-called Harajuku-Kids who, opposite to the richer Omote-Sando clientele, hang out in the side alleys and try to get a hold of the up-to-date fashion to present themselves as victims of the very same.
In this variegated environment, right behind the Gyre-Building of MVRDV at the crossroads to Starbucks, you will find the small building of Hisashi Kanke.
There, he has been operating a Hair & Barber Salon for ten years.
The small structure is paved with flagstones, creating a discreet and congenial atmosphere.
Maybe MVRDV was inspired by exactly this construction in their "backyard" when they decided on their own paneled façade.
Design Bureau Colin Schaelli's goal was to respect the discretion of the architectural style in the creation of the shop's inner life and to set a contrast to the hustle and bustle of the surrounding alleys - since the exterior affects the interior.
Therefore, the client finds himself in a room which is not littered with all the sensory stimuli of Harajuku, allowing him to quietly observe the colorful action outside while having his or her hair cut and styled by cross - with the inside affecting one's perception of the outside while also deflecting some of the outside.
