Prototype 3: Chunks
This prototype explores solid geometries through intelligent mold design and casting processes. With the ultimate goal of generating a large span structure, the design optimizes the compressive capabilities of plaster and the flexibility of metal joints.
Material: Plaster, metal nailing strips
Dimension: 28" x 30" x 20"
Instructor: Roland Wahlroos-Ritter
