1/8″ = 1′ - 0″ Scale Model Preparation_2:26:08
The code has been updated to:
-nest all text & panels
-Control the orientation of the connection, either inside or outside
The 1/8″ scale model will use a “tab” connection as the scale is too small to demonstrate the accurate connection. The tab connection also utilizes the possibility of folding each panel with 1/8″ scale materials. Two holes are provided in the tab connection to account for a standard staple to replace the full scale bolts. The tab restricts almost all axis of rotation and should provide an estimate in the overall structural efficiency of the form.

Tesselion is a project by Skylar Tibbits which proposes a system of flat panel tessellation derived from complex surfaces to
enable ease in constructability and a directly evolved spatial environment through lighting,
programmatic adaptation and structural simplicity. Each panel’s uniqueness is afforded by
the efficiency of digital fabrication while coded parametric relationships allow an emergent structural
efficiency, from a single panel to the complete adaptability of the surface as a whole.
