Iterative Transformations – Part 3 – Chu – Fall 2009

After cutting sections through the Rhino digital model, the next step in the process was to laser cut paper sections.  These sections showed both the woven process of creating the spaces as well as the space itself, through the careful decomposition of the surrounding board.

With each step in the process, another element of structure required another layer of deformation to strengthen the single-ply museum board.  This strengthening can be seen in the twisting of each laser cut section as it is placed into the base.
