Straw Walls are studies of functional digitally fabricated surfaces from ultra cheap, opportunistic materials.
Project Goals:
1. Encourage an integrated design experience that operates within the realm of digital fabrication logic.
2. Generate a discussion of ideas regarding the functionality of a singular material, less than 1/16” in thickness.
3. Encourage the employment of design experience that mediates a diverse relationship between material and process.
Design Considerations
1. surface opacity
2. connection points between modules
3. open space as a result of consequence
4. structural ability
No element other than the module and its integral parts are used to achieve the surface.
