bisymmetric hendecahedronThe unit is developed based on the bisym -metric hendecahedron, which has a very unique way to be assembled with each other, creating very interesting patterns.

maya_ experimentationBy using maya’s tools of extrusion, subtrac-tion, deforming and subdivision, a number of di!erent forms were created, so as to end up with the "nal unit’s shape.

final unit_ clusterThe drawings and the rendered views of the !nal unit and a cluster of it.

fatal errorWhen unit get aggregated, created an uninteresting image, basically due to its repetitive pattern. The most obvious solution was to turn my interest into the materialization of this unit and as a conse-quence, to the clusters of it.

paper _ difficult to achieve the connection at the core

SILICONE _ unfeasible to create mould

SILVER _ still repeatitive pattern

FABRIC _ changeable, flexible, different forms, but still using the same unit

from unit to system

fixed forms_ final model

epoxy resin pva glue varnish/hardener
