Module: Material Organization

Studio Critic: Christine Yogiaman

This material organization study focused on creating complex geometric systems through iterative making processes. In this project, a basic module was developed that could be replicated and subtly altered in order to allow the system to change.  The module is essentially a parallelogram with four notches cut into it at measured points along its edges.  By moving the position of the notches, the system begins to open and close at varying degrees when the modules are connected.  Three modules with one particular notch combination were then joined to create a unit.  Finally, a combination of five units were joined to create a string and then multiplied and stacked to create the final form.
