Mock-up 4 Preperation

A nested sheet almost ready for fabrication, still without the proper fenestration.  (1) 4′ x 8′ aluminum sheet @ 1/16″ thickness.

-Nesting obviously becomes a major restriction, a possible direction for developing the connection efficiency!

Unrolled panels & folding connection…

Surface Generation_Fitness Criteria 02:22:08

A number of panel variations leading to fitness criteria based on budget, aesthetic surface approximation, structure, and overall weight.

Each iteration demonstrates a decreasing number of panels to approximate the original surface from 30×70 panels to 10×40.

Each iteration is further analyzed based on total material used and the resultant budget for material and connections.
