COMPONENT LINEATION|ABSTRACT
The initial aim of this project was to design a component that had structural rigidity and could then have a vast array of global population possibilities. The original hope with those possibilities was that the global population of the component could form then, some type of canopy type system.

Finding rigidity in the beginning was a challenge, but by the second component design, rigidity in the vertical direction had become a very strong point to work forward with. The work was then to populate out that component to from not only vertical rigidity in the component, but also horizontal rigidity, working toward that goal of forming a canopy system.
ARCH_491
In the end, horizontal rigidity was dropped with the intent of understanding what the component itself does best, which is populating up in the vertical direction. The global population then created an elegant column structure that was hollow and could be simply supported with thin strips in the fabrication process. In the end the initial aim was still achieved, as structural rigidity of the component was achieved, allowing the component to be structural, and not just an “architecture instillation� with no structural aspect.

SINGLE GRID EXPLORATION #1
With the beginning exploration of model making, my intent was to create a component that could use both rectilinear and curvilinear folds to form a surface, as my original intent was to form some type of canopy system. This is demonstrated in Fig. 4-1.

I soon realized that this was a lot to ask of one component and to make this operable, so I decided it would be best to break the component down into a grid system of a curvilinear and rectilinear fold that when populated, would form such a canopy structure. That exploration can be seen in Fig. 4-2 through Fig 4-5, to where I concluded that 4-5 fit the aim of curvilinear and rectilinear folds in a component best.

COMPONENT LINEATION|COMPONENT ASSEMBLY
From the component that I decided to move on with (model from Fig. 4-5) I then proceeded to analyze the assembly BREAKING DOWN THE FOLDING TECHNIQUE of the model. The model is broken down into a 4x4 grid (Fig. 5-1) where the red lines indicate cut lines that divide the 4x4 grid into a FIGURE 5-1 repeating “T” pattern. FIGURE 3-1 | Cut Paths and Fold lines
The “T” patter is then folded in a curve on the ends of horizontal element of the “T” and then pushed into a more rectilinear fold on the remaining pieces of the grid to form a shape as seen in Fig. 5-2.

The element would compress at this point, but still had some rigidity in this effort (shown in Fig. 6-1).

The point that was week though was the center where all four “T” patterns came together on just a fine edge (seen in Fig. 6-2). This also was an issue in the beginning when looking at how the component would actually be able to hold its shape as it held POINTS OF COMPRESSION no rigid element at all.

COMPONENT LINEATION|ORIGINAL COMPONENT POPULATION Pulling off the exploration of the FIGURE 5-1 components forces, I moved on to thinking about how the FIGURE 7-1 component might actually populate, concluding that staking RESULTS FROM USING A THICKER MATERIAL (WATER COLOR PAPER) AND A LARGER SCALE TO EXPLORE CONECTIONS the component on the points of compressing would work best as demonstrated in Fig. 7-1. LOOKING AT COMPRESSION POINTS THAT SUCCEEDED FOR ISPERATION
This might then result in to component populating in a form as URE 5-1 FIGURE 5-3 FIGURE 5-2 such in Fig. 7-2. The issue here though is that my original aim FIGURE 7-2 had focused on the component population in a way to form a plan or canopy, and this only wants to stack in ARCH 491 the vertical direction. Also connecting the component at the BREAKING DOWN COMPONENT INTO ONE SINGLE OOKING AT COMPRESSION POINTS center is stillTHAT a large REPEATING COMPONENT UCCEEDED FOR ISPERATION issue at hand

FIGURE 8-1
FIGURE 8-2

REPETITION OVER POINTS OF COMPRESSION
I then thought of the WHILE JOINING AT CENTER POINT component, looking at it as a single “T” from the grid and FIGURE 8-3 seeing how that could populate (Fig 8-3 and Fig 8-4), but that as well showed no hope of the aim of the component populating in a planer from. After this 5 it exploration I realized that was then time to go back to the drawing board and re-design the component.

FIGURE 9-1 LOOKING AT A SHEET OF PAPER AS A NON-RIGID MATERIAL FORMULATING IDEAS TO FORM RIGIDITY
Going back to the drawing board, I discovered that one of the issues with my exploration in previous models and their failures was due to the lack of rigidity. These components where composed of an element that had no rigid element due to their plainer elements of just a flat piece of paper (Fig 9-1 and Fig 9-2). Concluding then that if I added a vertical element (Fig 9-3) in the beginning my success would then be greatly improved .

Looking at population of such a surface it the became evident that I was on a much better path than previous modeling attempts as far as how the population might fit into the original aim’s.

Refining the element into more of a single unit, it worked much better as a single piece that was folded together using one surface to surface connection verses four.

Exploring the assembly of the component cutting a paper strip where each surface when folded would be three inches in length and 1.5 inches in height. The surface would then be scored and bent at an angle of 15 degree’s as marked by the red lines in Fig. 11-1. Those scores would then be folded as demonstrated in Fig 11-2, slipping together at the end of the surface with a surface to surface connection forming the closed surface and component in Fig 11-3.

Looking at forces that apply toAPPLIED this new component, the forces in the FORCE vertical direction work quit well in the vertical direction as seen in Fig. 12-1 where it withheld the weight of three college text books FIGURE 5-1

FIGURE 12-2
FORCE APPLIED IN THE VERTICAL DIRECTION IS ACCEPTED BEST BUT IS MUCH WEEKER AT THE HORIZONTAL AXIS
Forces in the horizontal direction (Blue arrows in Fig. 12-2) though compress the component and are not nearly as rigid as the forces that are applied in the vertical direction.

Geometrically the component breaks down into a simple hexahedron as seen in Fig. 13-1.
FIGURE 13-1

Looking at the abstracted geometry it becomes easy to understand how the component may populate on one corner surface of the component, where depending on the angle applied to the connection determines the amount of overlap to the connection ( Fig 13-2). FIGURE 13-2

COMPONENT LINEATION|POPULATING PATTERNING
Looking closer at population, stacking vertically (Fig 14-1) again best when loads are applied, but with the initial aim again of a plainer surface, this connection is not as feasible again.
FIGURE 14-1
FIGURE 14-2
Arranging the component in a chain (Fig. 14-2) works much better with the aim, but the forces are then placed on the horizontal element which ignores the quality of rigidly that the component allows for AUSTIN D. MILES

FIGURE 15-2 Getting the arch curve from the abstracted geometry begins to become a challenge with the actual component due to connection issues as they are less free to receive such bending angles to form the arch. FIGURE 15-3
With the frustration in populating with changing angles, I created a final example of population where the connections remained at a fixed angle that formed a rotating chain verses an arch.

COMPONENT LINEATION|FABRICATION ISSUES
FIGURE 16-2 To resolve the issues of the arch form of population (Fig. 16-1), more mathematical evaluation will need to be applied to understand the angles that work best if forming the population of an arch as well as understanding a way to make sure that the forces are applied on the vertical axis verses the horizontal axis.
A way that might prove beneficial in adding strength to the component in the horizontal direction might best be found by fabricating the component in a contour model (Fig. 16-2) of a different material than bristol paper.

WITH THE ISSUES OF FABRICATION OF THE ORIGINAL POPULATION, THE STUDY THEN MOVED INTO USING GRASSHOPPER TO CREATE A POPULATION TO UNDERSTAND THE CONTROLE OF THE COMPONENTS CURVE. WITH THIS AN EDGE CONECTION WAS USED IN HOPES THAT IT COULD CREAT A CONECTION THAT COULD USE THE FORCES IN A MORE APLICIBLE WAY. THE IDEA WAS THEN THAT THE COMPONENT COULD THEN CURVE AS WELL AS STACK UPON ITSELF TO FORM A GLOBAL POPULATION.

Moving on from grasshopper exploration, the focus then moved to case study research. The hopes with case study research were to come to a realization of how fabricating such an edge connections might work with such a component as designed. Methods varied from looking at a tab connection, analyzing the angle of the curve, to contour modeling like previous hopes had led to, all of which are documented throughout the next three slides.

Moving forward, and with a limited time for a completed idea, the focus went to what the component itself did well all along, which was stacking vertically. It then became apparent that the system would overall work best not in a canopy system, but in simply, but elegantly, creating a column system as such in figure 26.1.
