The Tetrahdron

The tetrahedron module can be replicated multidirectionally to form a continuous structure.

Effectively, this structure functions like a space frame – lightweight and porous – only better, because it can extend vertically.

Can this idea be translated to a building where walls, floors and ramps are composed by this same modular unit?

I imagine a spiral ramp made up of a series of flat floors. Circulation space and functional space become one.

Undevelopable Surface _ PARABOLOID SURFACE _part1

THE most strength by using Rapid Proto Typing is that making undevelopable surface, and use it as a mold so that makes mass production which is faster, financially reasonable and flexible to further requirement by change of environment.

PARABOLOID surface is normaly used for a roof system for large span as a kind of shell structure. However, by rotating up the surface, it can provide a lot of chance of openings, variety of volume with structural strength.

More balenced natural daylight which is diffused and less glaring. And wide natural ventilation.

As a combination of module, More types and options could be possible by distortion of curvature. Then, every edges and corners are became different with asymmetry curvature.
