Google 'AlphaFold'

Rome, Lisbon, Paris and London 2024

Developed by DeepMind (a subsidiary of Alphabet), AlphaFold is an advanced AI that predicts protein structures, offering transformative insights that are reshaping scientific research and discovery. This project involved collaborating with Configured to produce modular display units for use at roadshows and conferences across Europe.

My Role Technical Designer, Production Managing & Installation Supervising

The Project

In this six-week project, I led the technical design, manufacturing process, material selection, shipping, logistics, and production management. Each unit was designed for efficient handoff to fabricators, complete with detailed packs, materials lists, and cut files, enabling internal teams to replicate the units seamlessly.

Constructed from mild steel SHS, the frames feature minimal external welds and no internal welds for clean lines throughout. The curved overhanging front was achieved by forming and folding a series of 3mm laser-cut steel sheets. Concealed fixings with rivet nuts, weld nuts, and tapped screws enhance the unit’s aesthetic, finished with a high-end, two-tone spray finish.
