A class developed and taught for graduate students at Columbia GSAPP . Tutorials led students through complex mold making strategies and introduced the process of iterative fabrication. We analayzed the success and failures of our designs and made better failures, always looking for ways to improve.
This tiling principle works with the edges and corners of the bounding geometries. Each pattern is achieved using only one module. By creating different conditions on each edge/corner, and then flipping (front to back) and rotating, modules are able to create a huge variety of patterns over the aggregate surface.
This tiling principle is generally limited to 2 dimensional wall like structures, or in some cases deflected walls. Edges and corners can shift in and out of alignment or terminate completely for more variety across the total pattern.
