MODELS
This model shows the structure connected to the building in physical form. This was completed at a 1:100 scale by lazercutting and 3d printing all the pieces. This model shows how each piece will connect with each other and its interaction with the building.
A light study was also competed to show the light patterns formed through the hollow of the structure.

LIGHT STUDY
This model shows the overall form of the structure using aluminum panels with tabs and bolts to join them together. This model was completed at a 1:10 scale as it was the most suitable scale for cutting, connecting and constructing. A human figure and the front of the building was added for comparison and scale.
The model was very difficult to complete as pieces kept snapping and the small scale did not twist as desired into its final form. However the tabs and bolting method worked well for most of the model.

REFLECTION
Throughout the semester I looked at many tectonic details including: bubbles/ spheres, origami, weaving and folding. I explored these through physical construction prototypes as well as digital modeling.
The final project looked at folding, this was completed both digitally and physically with an assortment of materials including Aluminum and Polypropylene. The group project had a few hurdles throughout the semester however the final outcome was successful. The feedback received at final presentation would be taken on board in the future to have a few different precedents which were more origami-like.
If this project was continued another final, more refined model could be completed, as well as looking into how each panel joins and where the seams could be. For future studies it would be great to compare a lazercut model to the hand cut, which will identify how seams and joins will combine to make cleaner and crisper lines. It would be beneficial to also complete a small section or all of the other pillars to show how they connect with each other through the different panels.
Overall I learnt a lot about designing using tectonic details, specifically folding which I will continue to use in my future design studies.
