Pinko 起飞：罗马菲乌米奇诺机场的参数化零售设计
Pinko Takes Off: Parametric Retail Design at Rome Fiumicino Airport
在罗马菲乌米奇诺机场的中心地带，女装品牌 Pinko 推出了一个旗舰零售概念，重新定义了时尚、设计和先进数字制造之间的界限。这家商店由外部参考建筑师构思，并通过 Rhino、Grasshopper 和 LAMÁQUINA 机器人制造的协同作用实现，它不仅仅是一个购物目的地，它还是一种由计算塑造的沉浸式空间体验，并以速度、可持续性和精度构建。
At the heart of Rome Fiumicino Airport, the womenswear brand Pinko has introduced a flagship retail concept that redefines the boundaries between fashion, design, and advanced digital fabrication. Conceived by External Reference Architects and brought to life through a synergy of Rhino, Grasshopper, and robotic manufacturing by LAMÁQUINA, this store is more than a shopping destination—it’s an immersive spatial experience shaped by computation and built with speed, sustainability, and precision.
参数精度与时尚身份的结合
PARAMETRIC PRECISION MEETS FASHION IDENTITY
由 Carmelo Zappulla 博士领导的 External Reference 团队从 Pinko 的独特风格中汲取灵感，将品牌的图案转化为三维建筑表皮。这个围护结构从直线演变为流畅的曲线，动态适应功能要求并增强客户体验。通过机器人 3D 打印制造了 50 多个独特的部件，整个装置使用参数化代码进行定义，确保结构的坚固性、美学的连贯性和快速执行。使用 Rhino 作为主要的建模和可视化工具，并使用 Grasshopper 进行算法控制，其几何图形被精心转化为机器人指令。该工作流程实现了工具路径、挤压控制和碰撞避让的实时模拟——这是使用非平面 3D 打印生产如此复杂形状的关键
External Reference’s team, directed by Dr. Carmelo Zappulla, drew inspiration from Pinko’s distinctive style, transforming the brand’s patterns into a three-dimensional architectural skin. This envelope evolves from straight lines to flowing curves, adapting dynamically to functional requirements and enhancing the customer experience. With more than 50 unique pieces manufactured through robotic 3D printing, the entire installation was defined using parametric code—ensuring structural soundness, aesthetic coherence, and rapid execution.
Using Rhino as the primary modeling and visualization tool, and Grasshopper for algorithmic control, its geometry was meticulously translated into robotic instructions. This workflow enabled the real-time simulation of toolpaths, extrusion control, and collision avoidance—key to producing such intricate forms with non-planar 3D printing.
在创纪录的时间内从仿真到制造
FROM SIMULATION TO FABRICATION IN RECORD TIME
由于严格的机场规定，该团队只有 3 天的时间进行现场组装，这意味着设计必须是模块化的、轻量化的和精确的。LAMÁQUINA 通过构思高度优化的制造策略来应对挑战，在短短 2 周内完成了所有组件。与 PURE.TECH 一起开发，这种基于纤维素的材料符合循环经济原则，但也符合 BS1DO 消防安全法规——这在机场的 3D 打印零售店中尚属首次。
Due to strict airport regulations, the team was only allotted 3 days for an on site assembly, which meant the design had to be modular, lightweight, and precise.. LAMÁQUINA met the challenge by conceiving a highly optimized fabrication strategy, completing all components in just 2 weeks. Developed with PURE.TECH, the cellulose-based material aligned with circular economy principles yet also complied with BS1DO fire safety regulations — a first for a 3D-printed retail store in an airport.
为了执行外部参考建筑师设想的设计，LAMÁQUINA 采用了定制的模具系统，可以对材料层的角度和沉积进行精细控制。其结果是一片垂直景观，从地板上升，弯曲到天花板，为参观者形成一个雕塑般的欢迎门槛。
In order to execute the design envisioned by External Reference Architects, LAMÁQUINA employed a custom mold system that enables fine control over the angle and deposition of material layers. The result is a vertical landscape that rises from the floor and curves into the ceiling, forming a sculptural, welcoming threshold for visitors.
分布式设计和本地制造
DISTRIBUTED DESIGN & LOCAL FABRICATION
作为革新制造业的更广泛使命的一部分，LAMÁQUINA 作为一个 3D 打印生态系统运作，分散生产，同时保持其在巴塞罗那的工程核心。这种模式允许本地按需制造，从而降低成本、缩短交货时间和减少碳影响。在 Pinko 项目中，这种生态系统方法在紧迫的时间表下提供复杂、符合法规且富有表现力的零售环境方面发挥了关键作用。
As part of a broader mission to revolutionize manufacturing, LAMÁQUINA operates as a 3D printing ecosystem, decentralizing production while maintaining its engineering core in Barcelona. This model allows for local, on-demand manufacturing – reducing costs, lead times, and carbon impact. In the Pinko project, this ecosystem approach played a critical role in delivering a complex, regulation-compliant, and expressive retail environment on a tight schedule.
零售业的未来一瞥
A GLIMPSE INTO RETAIL’S FUTURE
Fiumicino 的 Pinko 商店不仅仅是一件个性单品，更是零售设计新时代的理念证明。它展示了参数化设计、机器人制造和可持续材料如何融合在一起，创造出高效、美观且能适应最苛刻环境的空间。从算法到组装，这个项目体现了建筑、时尚和数字技术之间不断发展的关系。
The Pinko shop at Fiumicino is more than a statement piece — it’s a proof of concept for a new era in retail design. It showcases how parametric design, robotic fabrication, and sustainable materials can converge to create spaces that are efficient, beautiful, and adaptable to the most demanding contexts. From algorithm to assembly, this project embodies the evolving relationship between architecture, fashion, and digital technology.
