Innovation in Valencia: The Cloud
A project that impresses from afar: Caixa Forum in the City of Arts and Sciences, inside "El Ágora" by Santiago Calatrava.
Nagami, a pioneer in sustainable 3D printing
Nagami, recognized worldwide for leading large-format 3D printing with recycled materials, has taken sustainability and innovation to the next level in the La Nube project. In collaboration with the architecture firm The Cloud 9 , the company developed a unique ceiling system that embodies the fusion of advanced design, technology, and respect for the environment. This project reaffirms Nagami's commitment to circular design, offering solutions that transform plastic waste into architectural pieces with high aesthetic and functional impact.
CaixaForum Valencia: a cultural icon
CaixaForum Valencia , promoted by the “la Caixa” Foundation, has established itself as one of the most innovative cultural centers in Spain. Its mission goes beyond being an exhibition space: it seeks to bring science, art, and technology closer to all of society, transforming itself into an urban and cultural landmark.
Within this context, La Nube stands as an architectural symbol that engages with the city and represents the future of sustainable cultural spaces. Nagami's intervention was crucial in bringing this vision to life, materializing a concept in which aesthetics and environmental responsibility coexist harmoniously.
One of the most innovative aspects of La Nube is its 24-meter exterior shell , composed of a total of 72 flexible panels printed in 3D using the air printing technique. These panels, in light blue tones, not only cover the surface creating a light and enveloping aesthetic, but also evoke the movement of water and the direct connection with nature that inspires the project.
Union of science, art and technology
The architectural proposal of The Cloud 9 , along with Nagami's product innovation, reflects how science, art, and technology can work together to create unique experiences in the world's most important cities.
The La Nube project is much more than an architectural element: it is a manifesto that demonstrates how sustainable 3D printing can transform the way we conceive of public spaces.
With this work, Nagami not only reaffirms its position as a global pioneer in sustainable additive manufacturing, but also paves the way for new possibilities for architecture and design of the future.
Collaboration: Impact and Legacy
The La Nube project at CaixaForum Valencia is not merely an exercise in formal innovation, but an example of the impact that collaboration between companies, institutions, and creative studios can have on society. Nagami, with its design vision and sustainable philosophy, achieves a transformation of architecture into a driver of change, raising awareness about the use of recycled materials and the potential of digital manufacturing.
