Various Systems of Sculptural Slats and Methods of Manufacture Thereof

A sculptural slat structure comprising:

• a slattable object;
• a plurality of sculptural slats inserted within the slattable object, wherein each of the plurality of sculptural slats comprises:
• a substantially planar sheet comprising four edges, wherein at least one of the four edges comprises:
• a first sculptural edge, and
• a first aligned edge wherein the first aligned edge of each of the plurality of sculptural slats slats are aligned;
• wherein the substantially planar sheet comprises at least:
• a first functional zone comprising a core portion of the sculptural slat and a slattable object integration feature, wherein the first functional zone is configured to control at least one ambient variable between a first environment and a second environment;
• and
• a second functional zone comprising a first sculptural portion extending from the core portion to the first sculptural edge, wherein the second functional zone is configured to cast a first sculptural shadow onto one or more adjacent sculptural slats and surfaces in the first or second environment;
• and
• a slattable object integration mechanism connecting the plurality of sculptural slats to the slattable object, wherein the slattable object integration mechanism connects to the slattable object integration feature.

A method for manufacturing a sculptural slat structure comprising the steps of:

• receiving installation data comprising one or more height data, width data, and depth data related to an installation site;
• receiving sculptural edge data comprising at least sculptural design data;
• receiving installation environment data comprising at least a first environment data and a second environment data, wherein the sculptural slat structure is configured to be installed between a first environment and a second environment;
• receiving slattable object integration mechanism data comprising at least slattable object integration mechanism type;
• generating rough sculptural slat specification data comprising at least sculptural slat width data and sculptural edge design, wherein a sculptural slat comprises a substantially planar sheet comprising four edges, wherein at least one of the four edges comprises a first aligned edge and a first sculptural edge, and wherein the substantially planar sheet comprises at least:
• a first functional zone comprising a core portion of the sculptural slat and a slattable object integration feature, wherein the first functional zone is configured to control at least one ambient variable between the first environment and the second environment;
• and a second functional zone comprising a first sculptural portion extending from the core portion to the first sculptural edge, wherein the second functional zone is configured to cast a sculptural shadow onto one or more adjacent sculptural slats and surfaces in the first or second environment;
• generating specifications for the first functional zone, comprising slattable object integration feature specifications and alignment specifications, wherein alignment specifications define the first aligned edge, wherein adjacent sculptural slats are aligned at the first aligned edge when installed;
• and
• generating refined sculptural slat specifications that define augmentation of the first functional zone and the second functional zone, wherein the refined sculptural slat specifications are based at least in part on the at least one ambient variable, the slattable object integration mechanism, installation environment data, and the rough sculptural slat specification data.
