Build a StructureDynamic Modules inspiring Dynamic Interaction
Material Choices• The modules that I have created can work well to create an
ever changing structure, which can serve multiple functions.• Original design came out of creating a possible screening
device, but has been realized to be something greater.• The current device has evolved to be dynamic structure that
can evolve and change to fit the users needs.• Current Dilemma: What material could realize this potential?• The following slides are potential choices with pros and cons
Wood
Pros and Cons• Pros• Readily available• Relatively inexpensive• Potential could be
realized through architecture equipment• Can utilize friction
joint as connection
• Cons• Potential to break
along grain• Require finishing to
seal wood• Weight, relatively
heavy.• Bulky
Cardboard
Pros and Cons• Pros• Cheap• Readily available• Precedents for being
used as furniture• Works at small scale.• Friction joints hold
well.• Can be realized with
tools in Architecture building
• Cons• Possibly need to
layered for stability• Quality issues• Wants to fold at
corrugations• Unsure of stability at
full scale.
Acrylic
Pros and Cons• Pro• Structural stability
(used in Aquariums)• Joints can be fused
together by heating acrylic.• Readily available• Can be prototyped at
small scale without going through manufacturer.
• Expense• Possible stress failure at
joints.• Require thick sheets.• Not sure if large
modules can be attained through tools in Arch building.• Fusing joints would take
away from the changeable aspect of the structure
Plastic
Pros and Cons• Pros• Structural stability• Module can be easily
replicated through a manufacturer. • Precedents for
stability• Variety of choices in
colors for users.
• Cons• Costly• Untested with current
modules.• Material not readily
available.• Process might have to
be outsourced to manufacturer.
• Question about strength at friction joint
