project H:Prototype
DESIGN CHALLANGE
The design is a dynamic surface created out of the repetition of one component. This surface will react on movement and light. The load baring structure will be created by the components themselves. When the components are opened tension is created by the deformation of the outlines. This tension provides the ability of self support if the outer lines of the surface are anchored.
RESULT
The details first made for the prototype are altered. The hinge from bicycle tires which also forms a connection between the component is changed. Instead of gluing the tires together and bolding it on the triangles. We cut the tires open and fix it with a wooden strip and screws on the triangles (see detail).
No sensors are attached to our prototype. The actuators are connected to arduino and work simultaneously. They can be turn of or on by a switch.
