Phase 4

Foci 1: Create balance between dynamic >< static structure 

Frame the dynamic parts and thereby be able to control the extent of how the structure can move.

Investigation: Make metal frames with suspended 'fabric with props' attached in various points - investigation of how it behaves differently depending on the number and placement of the attachment points.



Foci 2: The shape and scale of the elements (props)

Try different kind of shapes: triangle, hexagon, asymmetric rhombus(the element we have used so far) and symmetric rhombus - in two different scales

Investigation: Pieces of fabric with the different kind of shapes and scales (8 variations) suspended in the metal frames




All of the 8 variations suspended in all of the ten different configuration of point attachments exposed to wind from three different angles.
