Looped Frames

Our aim was to create a minimal, wired framed structure comprised of individual components. These components where notched together in order to form a unified staircase.In order to ensure structural stability, the form was first physically tested. The structure was firstly laminated with a single layer of plastic and aluminium tape. When realising the materials rigidity, we when applied multiple layers of plastic and metal pieces placed in between each layer. This proved to be successful as the multiple layers of plastic stiffened the structure.

Bending active structure

perspective

For our structure we decide to explore the elastic bending structural properties as a means to generate curved geometries from initially straight or planar elements of plywood. The main motivation behind using it lies in the simplicity of producing a curved element just by bending it. Read More »
