Tension

Architecture grad school has been very busy.  Here is one project that I am pretty proud of.  Here I am experimenting with different ways to deform plywood using tension.
This is what happens when the plywood has too much tension and fails.


Here is the finished structure.  Wires instead of wedges of wood were used to create tension in the final piece.
