Full Scale Mock-up v.2
A few images from the second full scale mock-up…
Conclusions:
-1/8″ Aluminum may be excessive in weight for panel + tab connection
-A perforated score @ 1/8″ aluminum is very difficult to bend. Either the panel must be 1/16″ thickness or use a channel notch, which may only allow for 90 degree folds.
-Folded connection is very clumsy looking, may go for a triangular shape as well as cut away most of the back face of the connection b/c the first fold restrict almost all of the force
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.
