"The form of an object is a diagram of forces"

(D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson)

The purpose of this project was to continue out investigations into three-dimensional visual phenomena, through the consideration of the structure and the poetics of its expression. 

Challenge:

Create a static, rigid structure spanning 24" while supporting a standard clay brick at midspan. The structural elements must consist of 1/8" x 1/8" and 1/16" x 1/16" section basswood and water based glue. Lamination is not allowed and lap joints cannot exceed 1/8".
