MARC FORNES/THEVERYMANY have created an amazing sculpture/world that almost defies explanation, called “Labrys Frisae”- it certain defies classification. Constructed of 10,322 parts with some 202,290 holes, this structural cloud-like construct is a real testament to what can be done with today’s technology blending computational design with human ingenuity and persistence. The best part is its apparent fragility and light-weight visuality- because it is only apparent, it can hold a human being. Geometry really does rule the world and it isn’t confined to only cartesian geometry. I think Schwarzschild would be proud.
Matt Davis is a Virginia Tech graduate and one of the founding editors behind Arch2O. Launching the platform in mid‑2012 alongside fellow Hokies, he helped shape its identity as an international hub for design innovation and critical dialogue . With a foundation in architectural education and a passion for uncovering unconventional design approaches, Matt has contributed significantly—both editorially and strategically—to Arch2O’s growth, ensuring that emerging architects, academics, and creatives have a space to question, explore, and elevate the built environment.
