This was a form study based on the concept of a cube made from 16 g aluminum sheets. The entire structure is put together using a tension fit system where each plate snaps into place. The tools that were utilized to create the interior bends and the tension fit system were the hydrolic press, the jeweler saw and the fingerbreak.
This collapsible modular form was created using tin plated steel. Here, I create a tension fit system to keep the consistent hexagon form on the top and bottom to evenly space out and hold the modular forms created with bent copper wire. The hinge system was created with the same copper wire to allow movement with the modules to create an array of three dimensional forms.

These are the metal form studies I worked on throughout fall semester.
