THOUGHTS: ON LASER CUTTING:
For my test run I chose to go with 1mm white card, thinking there'd be enough flex in each piece to form the shape below. I measured the width of the smallest cable tie (2.5mm) and in Grasshopper I made the holes at every junction 4mm, just to be safe and also allow for a bit wiggle room so each piece could make the overall shape. I was happy that the tags system worked.
This dry run gave me the confidence to go bigger with a more ambitious shape, it made me realise I needed a more flexible material - polypropylene - and also that my holes needed to come down in size because the 1.5mm of wiggle room was too much and my pieces weren't holding together as tightly as they could have been.
ASSIGNMENT 02: SITE ANALYSIS AND PROPOSAL

PROPOSAL: to create links between existing boxy building fabric, that extend beyond the limits of traditional horizontal and vertical movement between buildings (horizontally at the ground plane and vertically at a building's core.) |
