For the final, Paul and I decided that we were going to create an exciting pattern on the cardboard because we thought it could be used as a foundation for our structure.



Getting it cut took an hour:





Camera phone ftw^

Statement: This project has highlighted the potential of two simple shapes that can be rotated and fitted together to form a complex, irregular 3D form. These two shapes take on the role of ‘branches’ that extrude outwardly with potential for other shapes to connect to each end. The shapes are highly flexible in the way they can be rotated in six ways and still able to join to adjacent shapes without changes to the three dimensional shape.



Concept: Branches connect and grow outward and upward. The dense inter-weaved sphere bursts forth from its rigid, two dimensional roots into three dimensional freedom. Folded planes, the remnants of the two dimensional plane, sprawls outwards into fragments. The loss of branches, resembling cracked soil following drought, contributes to a growing structure. To prevent the sphere from falling, an outer structure holds the sphere in place.









That's the end of the story.

Kinda looks like the world cup :/
