HYBRID FORMATIONS
2016



"How can you design something to be paper-thin and super-light while maintaining its structural integrity and creating big volumes?" An elegant and dynamic form was developed using Rhinoceros and Grasshopper, and subsequently fabricated from aluminum sheet metal. Pieces were generated in the modeling software, were cut using a water jet cutter, and assembled with rivets to form the three-dimensional structure.
