PROTOTYPE 1For the first prototype the starting point is the aggregation of four components with the same shape but different connections in order to develop the structure in x and y direction.
The components are connected in order to create a module, the modules aggregation create
the structure.
The resulted structure create curved surfaces in both x and y directions.
The curved surfaces create arches, but the force distributions is different from an arch, the curved joints distribute the force to the central nodes in both directions, x and y. The nodes become the most stressed elements of the structure.
PROTOTYPE 2
The second prototype is composed by two components, basically the same, one is straight, other one is bended.
The components aggregation create a linear structure, below is showed the first assemble combination.
The second components combination create a denser structure in order to reach an higher behavior.
