Considering I have been MIA from the blog since the start of our midterm project, I though it would be nice to at least post my final products from the midterm and final.
MIDTERM: My midterm project generate pattens that were informed by the lengths and number of stations on each line of the Madrid Metro.
FINAL: My final project explored the theme of structure — what if I could build a rigid structure from flimsy material? I chose bristol as my material, and a folded square tube structure to make it more rigid. Each component then connected to one another via tabs to create a rigid (when laid down, the shape is controlled by the definition) yet flexible (when picked up, the fact that it is connected by tabs makes the entire structure foldable to a variety of shapes) final geometry. I envision this type of structure being used for emergency shelter units.
