Splinter Concept

My apologies for not posting this earlier, but here is my conceptual design.

  1. I like the idea of a fragmented geometry created by the interpretation of the tatami mat. But I haven't understood very well how you apply the concept of transformation?

  2. Cool work.
    I think we should follow up material properties of 6mm ply wood.
    What is a point of your view about material properties?

    Can the hinge transform the form?

  3. Alina, you are right.. i should explore that concept further.. I think that the hinged frames could be adjustable (like a japanese fan) to change the size of the enclosed area... the challenge would be to create a floor and skin that would move with the structure as well... perhaps some type of system like the one Akinori proposed.

    Akinori, I think it would be interesting to take advantage of the material properties in two or more ways within the project, not just one... so we might do a double sin wave flexible skin (like in the 'digital weave' i showed as a precedent), and use the material in another way for another part of the project(like structure.. ).

  4. I also think this is a good start and echo Alina's comment. I also think it would be good to study/explore how the panels get constructed of an assembly.

    For example could the panel be a series of assembled strips?

    Perhaps like a vertical venetian blind, only the members twist to create lighting/visual difference.
