Prototyping: Cube 1
The puzzle cube is a prototype derived from the research done throughout the exploration process. The geometry of the cube leverages the capabilities of the CNC router by incorporating more daring curves on multiple faces of each member. The cube is 6” x 6” x 6” and is composed of 26 individual pieces of oak and poplar. Tenons of various sizes are used to hold key members in place and ensure the cube’s structural integrity. The prototype begins to describe spatial relationships as member may be removed to create negative space.
