This project explores the simplest way of constructing a doubly-curved shell structure - by setting the fabrication method based on planar manufacture, which can be achieved by CNC Routers or laser machines and using sheet materials like chipboard. The cellular unit was mapped and unrolled to planar folding and cutting lines, fabricated through tens of recycling chipboards within 2mm thickness. The whole fabricating process including cutting, folding, and assembling took only 5 days and 3 group members to complete the construction of this human-scale installation on the 3rd floor of Sibley Hall.

This project is based on a simple equilibrium situation that a force diagram of tetrahedron equilibrates to a form diagram of three rays that start from the same point. So I subdivide the form diagram so as to make this equilibrium situation remain. Then I utilize the robotic 3d printing technique to print 3 rods at the same time to fabricate the spatial frames.
