“...a convective system would surround a normally clothed man at rest with 71 F air tomaintain comfort. But with radiant surfaces at 85 F, the air temperature could drop to 59 F

and the same man would be comfortable.”

Original CNC study panel. The parallel cuts resulted in interesting scalloping on the ridgesbetween planes

3D Print study -- the neighboring edges ofseparate planes have different elevations, andthe division between tiles is easy to read

In this panel, the form is deter-mined by the same lines thatinstruct the CNC router resultingin a more cohesive product inwhich one tile seems to blendinto the next.

CNC production of final prototype

The lines of fabrication run across separatetiles as angles and elevations also line up.
