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.

Tetrahedron blocks are replicated to form a continuous porous structure. The blocks are thicker at the base and gradually thin out, to give the impression of changing density.
