// ITERATION 02 //

// ITERATION 03 //

Combining the three important startegies from the research catalogue into a first iteration of a model.

Instances are further developed to become stackable and easily printed.

We decided to go back to our previous iteration and develop a more 3 dimensional setup in order to increase the size and bring more variation to out system.

Interconnected Platforms, Ribboned Voids based on a scaled and organized setup.

// ITERATION 01 // This component brings spatiality and opportunity for a semicovered space.

// ITERATION 05 // Last iteration is a refined component which breaks down into two components in order to optimize its stackability. Every branch has the same connection.

// ITERATION 02 // A more 3-dimensional component to investigate a more complex setup.

// ITERATION 03 // Based on the first attempt , this refined iteration has more continuity and work in developing one single connection.

// COMPONENTS COMPARATIVE RESEARCH

// ITERATION 04 // This fourth iterarion divides the component into three parts and two different materials. It researchs the continuity of the overall system by highlighting the inner space.

// INTEGRATION // We tried different systems to use the spikes of our OVERLAPPING PIN model as integrated connections , resulting in two successful different techniques by overlapping and hooking or overlapping and pinning.

// CLIPPING // Once we tested previous attempt of integrated connections we decided to have a simple connection that we could design and repeat over and over for every instance. Clipping proved to work easiest for this piece. OVERLAPPING + PIN

// MULTICONNECTION // As we decided to work with a single component in order to develop a comparative research of different printing techniques, materials and settings; we designed a simple connection that would allow the component to be assemble in several ways. Thus, we could study the possibilities of our components in terms of setups and later on design our system of 63 components (number of components that fits in a printing volume).

Arm 1 connected to arm 5 creates a vertical column when assembled. The geometry remains to linear and pathways uninteresting in terms of final continuous spatiality. High number of potential branches

Arm 4 connected to arm 5 creates linear and branching clusters. The pathway is celarly defines and the branches suggest for new routes. High number of potential branches ASSEMBLY

PATH

Arm 3 connected to arm 5 creates a linear and clustered assembly. It is however fragmented in the pathways. Intermediate number of potential branches

Arm 2 connected to arm 5 creates a complex spatial continuouity. However, the geometry intersects itself and creates obstructed paths. Low number of potential branches ASSEMBLY
