A Bug to remember

Today I want to post an old piece I did years ago. It is a giant insect looking creature I designed based on a fantasy story background. I've been wanting to start working on this story again. But there is so little time outside my school curriculum. Sign...

Studio Midterm

We just had the midterm this Friday. The project is to design a temporary classroom sized prototype using more efficient material and structural systems. We proposed a structural system based on curved fold morphology. This is our group's presentation.
During the review, we had a very interesting discussion about the idea of model making. Peter had a valuable point on the role of physical models in the design process. It shouldn't be made solely for the sake of formal representation. Especially in a studio where the focus is about structural performance. The physical model should at least have similar structural behaviors as the project in real scale or perhaps constructed with the same fabrication logic.
