project H:TUBULAR STRUCTURE
TUBULAR STRUCTURE
Here we tried to use a tubular structure with movable joints, which could be regulated further by actuators to carry out different degree of enclosures. The two component models that we experimented with were:
1) First attempt was to combine one module of the hexagonal analogue to interlock one another to form a self supporting structure. However, the structure seem to lack rigidity. Though the component seemed to make the entire structure collapsible in nature. Two configurations were obtained by folding hexagons into vertical and horizontal orientations. The investigation didn't went that deep due to demerits of the particular system.
2) An umbrella system, that is formed over triangulated structural framework performing a one way retractable mechanism was the second typology being evaluated.
