modular structure

Collaborator: Evan Bird

Project brief: design and prototype a 2D module with 1.5mm plywood that can create a self standing structure. 


We started with prototyping by cutting, folding, and gluing paper. After experimenting with several designs, we decided to explore a star-like structure. We were intrigued by the asymmetry of a 7-point star, however, prototyping proved that it would be challenging to work with. We considered an 8-point star as well, though there would be too many points to screw. So we decided to design a 6-legged module.
