Sinusoidal waves

Advertisement

As I am using all sorts of mathematical properties, I decided to use a simple and easy to use sin wave which I've altered. I bent out a sin wave from a strip of aluminium and I used pliers to alter changes and kept using the pliers until I transformed the wire into something desirable. The simplest and most effective method for wave structures was using fabric. I layered the fabric over the metal frame and starched it over, until it was stretched enough to not bend the aluminium, but good enough to see the features, with part was quite challenging as doing this with one arm due the other arm having to hold the wooden square and the other stretching as well as putting enough pressure on the stapler gun to be able to stable together was quite challenging.

The inspiration I gathered from this idea was a not the actual final model but rather the process, what if I add the aluminium wave to an already existing building elevating it. This has given me a fresh perspective in the designing world, as this opens many possibilities to be creative. I'm trying to illustrate how a curved structure could be used as a design feature for the exterior of a building.
