Sliced Surface Study

How small shifts in a section accumulate into enclosure.

Sliced Surface Study
TypeFormal study
MediumPhysical model + drawings
OutputPlan, section, elevation, assembly logic
Scale1:1

A repeated rib profile is rotated and offset to generate a continuous surface. The assembly produces a carved void and a pinched interior condition.

ProblemHow do small shifts in a section accumulate into a sense of enclosure?
MoveOne rib profile, repeated, rotated and offset until a continuous surface appeared.
OutputPhysical model plus plan, section, elevation and assembly logic.
