Utilizing the strength of fiberglass and its ability to embed materials during the lay-up process, we are looking at component fasteners that could be recessed into our production molds to facilitate a regularized/controlled system of connections. Further exploration with scripting attempts to systematize how these connections are included into the overall execution of a paneling system and form of installation.
NOTES:
small/shallow /cap >>> large/deep/aperture
ALL panels “open” at the same set height, with larger pieces having larger apertures and the smallest modules remaining capped. The system of panels will take on a gradient in size/aperture.
Control parameters deal with the fabrics ability to conform to a uniform surface and may be limited to the height restrictions of the tooling bed [4”].
The dome//cone module takes on multi-directional rigidity.
