  1. Build a Structure Dynamic Modules inspiring Dynamic Interaction

  2. Material Choices • The modules that I have created can work well to create an ever changing structure, which can serve multiple functions. • Original design came out of creating a possible screening device, but has been realized to be something greater. • The current device has evolved to be dynamic structure that can evolve and change to fit the users needs. • Current Dilemma: What material could realize this potential? • The following slides are potential choices with pros and cons

  3. Wood

  4. Pros and Cons • Pros • Readily available • Relatively inexpensive • Potential could be realized through architecture equipment • Can utilize friction joint as connection • Cons • Potential to break along grain • Require finishing to seal wood • Weight, relatively heavy. • Bulky

  5. Cardboard

  6. Pros and Cons • Pros • Cheap • Readily available • Precedents for being used as furniture • Works at small scale. • Friction joints hold well. • Can be realized with tools in Architecture building • Cons • Possibly need to layered for stability • Quality issues • Wants to fold at corrugations • Unsure of stability at full scale.

  7. Acrylic

  8. Pros and Cons • Pro • Structural stability (used in Aquariums) • Joints can be fused together by heating acrylic. • Readily available • Can be prototyped at small scale without going through manufacturer. • Expense • Possible stress failure at joints. • Require thick sheets. • Not sure if large modules can be attained through tools in Arch building. • Fusing joints would take away from the changeable aspect of the structure

  9. Plastic

  10. Pros and Cons • Pros • Structural stability • Module can be easily replicated through a manufacturer. • Precedents for stability • Variety of choices in colors for users. • Cons • Costly • Untested with current modules. • Material not readily available. • Process might have to be outsourced to manufacturer. • Question about strength at friction joint
