The central theme of the project was to create a structure that arose from a flat plane into a three-dimensional object while challenging the properties of the materials used. The uniqueness of the structure lies in the individual strips that lift from the flat surface, requiring no joints hence forming smooth curves.

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 [...]

Triagon- Digital Fabrication Laser Cutter
Triagon is a combination of triangles and a penthagons coexisting in the same structure. The goal of this first Digital Fabrication project was to build a tower out of 4 board of 3mm plywood while exploring the properties of the material and to acquaint ourselves with laser cutting. The Triagon stands 2.7m tall. The structure [...]

The current trend in Architecture is to create light weight but stable structures of large heights with limited resources. “The idea oscillates between stability and minimalism” The project began with the investigation of the various types of possibilities in wooden joineries. It was amusing to discover the potential of 3mm thick plywood and the innumerable [...]
