The project consist in the design and manufacturing of a piece which had to fit within a cylindrical bounding box of 49.5 mm diameter and 200 mm height. It was necessary to respect a central core consisting of a 3mm thick tube with a 3.75mm radius hollow space at its center.

The principal aim was the structural and material optimization, working primarily in an anticlockwise direction.

The main idea was the design of a system based on a brick module with the properties of connecting to other bricks to generate a non-uniform wall using the CNC Milling machine for the production of molds in high-density polyurethane foam.

The system should create a well defined connection joints, modularity and laws of growth. Modules should allow the growth of the wall in more of two dimensions.

The aim of the exercise is to explore 3 dimensional manufacturing processes by the use of the CNC milling machine, and the development of molds for casting pieces.

The aim was to cover the entire surface included within the wooden frame with, at least 20 components  using folding technique, to create visual connection through the component towards a point in space.  The material chosen for the exercise was 0.8 mm thick orange polypropylene.
