Cathedral of Brasília Model

Catedral_Metropolitana_de_Brasilia.jpg

I designed the model on the CAD software Onshape using architectural plans and photos as a reference. The computer model consisted of both the exterior of the structure, as well as the interior. The model was then 3D printed and assembled.

The Cathedral of Brasília, designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer and completed in 1970, is a landmark of modernist architecture in Brazil’s capital. Its unique structure is made of 16 curved concrete columns and a stained glass roof. The cathedral stands as both a religious and architectural symbol of the city’s modern identity. During a college course (Materials in Architecture), I had the chance to create an architectural model of this building.
