After having attempted few different ways of build it, we found out the best qualities of the plywood in this dimension and this thickness. The right qualities to go for the main goal of the term, as high as possible. Because of this, and so where dimensions have a big value, the first thing to [...]

Twisted Sister

The concept for this tower arose from the vertical aggregation of identical pyramidal components at decreasing scales. The component itself was developed through the distortion of simple geometries to find opportunities for self-replication without the use of additional components. The slight distortion of the resulting pyramidal form creates multi-planar vertices that can be utilized for [...]
