ARCH 517: RAPID PROTOTYPING

CRITIC: LOU BOZA

I was interested in the filtering of light through a material and so the inspiration for this project was the translucency of wrinkled paper. After digitizing a piece of paper and working with it in Rhinoceros 3D, a physical model was produced with a laser cutter. This cardboard prototype was built to study connections between the panel pieces. Later evolving into a 2'x2' lamp made from plexiglass and translucent plastic that could be formatted into a light panel for a standard suspended ceiling tile.
