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.

RESEARCH AND OPTIMIZATION OF VENDOR DISTRIBUTION IN NEW YORK CITY
RESEARCH STUDIO, SUMMER '19, CORNELL UNIVERSITY
IN COLLABORATION WITH HAMMAD AHSAN, RUOCHEN ZHANG, SHIYU JIN, AND PENG ZHANG
The project grabs and analyses urban data from Google API and translates them into a dynamic model in rhino and grasshopper, using metadata as a dictionary to analyze the advanced metric of urban fast food. A proposal is suggested in the end through multi-agent optimization to offer a better distribution for the fast-food based on those analytical metrics.
