1:5 Explorations

Our design group then went about creating a scale model which was useful for designing the cart's substructure, and for generating key connection points for the outer shell. It was also used to develop a more formalized gesture through the proportional pinning and fanning of the wood slats.

We then came to the conclusion that the cart would optimally interface with the ground at three points, evolving from the overarching rib that supports the canopy.

We are intent on exploring the opposing possibilities of form generating structure, or structure generating form.
