Design and fabrication of Hong Kong's first constructional 3D-printed metal pavilion 'Weaving Love'.

ABSTRACT: 'Weaving Love' is Hong Kong's first outdoor pavilion constructed using the constructional 3D metal printing through Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) technology, making a transformative milestone in the application of this emerging technology for large-scale construction in the region. This paper documents the entire process-from the concept and design to fabrication and construction-of the "Weaving Love" pavilion, a constructional 3D-printed metal structure situated at the New Immigration Headquarters of Hong Kong. The project demonstrates the seamless integration of advanced WAAM technology, innovative parametric design, and collaborative efforts among government, industry, and academia. By leveraging these advanced technologies, the project team has created a structure that is not
