Space/Materiality Final Project

We start this project by using straws and wires to build some irregular triangle structures

And I found these irregular polyhedrons really interesting, so I decide to develop it for my final lamp design.

 

 

Some sketches

Then I use wire+straws to build my prototype.

 

For the final work, I came up with different ideas about the materials (window screens/ lantern paper) I’m gonna use, but finally I decide to use brass tubes as the structure and book cloth as the nets.

I use tube cutters to cut these long brass tubes into shorter pieces, and I use wires to fix them.
