Chromatae

Marc Fornes and his studio, THEVERYMANY, are deeply rooted in the development of computational protocols and means of digital fabrication. Over the last ten years, the studio has invented and further developed "Structural Stripes," a building system by which custom-designed parts form complex, self-supporting curvilinear surfaces.

Applying their unique approach to design, engineering and construction, the studio has designed and built a collection of "Crawling Assemblies" across United States, Canada and Europe  -- fantastical structures at a scale between art and architecture, and which unify surface, structure and spatial experience into a single system. Calling to mind different organic references depending on viewer, the undulating, often brightly-colored structures craft unique spaces that manipulate light and our typical understanding of depth.
