Exercise 1 The exploration for a structural module began with a simple geometry-Square. The 2-dimensional geometry was torn, detached and wrapped to achieve a 3-dimensional module. This structure exhibits multiple forces in each folded member. There are tension and compression acting doubly on each member of the module resulting is a overall complex structural [...]
In order to study and understand this notion of a self-supporting structure, a number of tests where conducted. These experimental forms where all constructed by folding a single piece of paper. By repeating this action and directing the folds in contrasting angles, we discovered the parameters for component behaviour. Due to the orientation of the [...]
Our model is based on two simple structures , a triangle and a square this last devided in the half to make two triangles at the end. The triangle is one of the highest strenght structures because this does not deform unless we applied a big load compared to its size, the best part of [...]
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.
