This project was an off-shoot from the concrete screens we were developing to
test the limitations of Ductal High-Performance Concrete. For this particular
pattern, we decided to prototype some small scale molds in which we could pour
different materials to test durability and performance. We settled on Silicon
for the materials ability to flex and its translucent properties.
Although the design is for one unit, the pattern will tile seamlessly. The
pattern was developed as a 3ds Max script. The parameters of each cell can be
limitlessly reconfigured to produce a series of entirely unique units. The data
that defines a particular configuration of cells is directly exported to the CNC
Mill for immediate fabrication.
