For this project, I created three cardboard samples that have a symbiotic relationship with the body. For this idea, I was inspired by an elephant, so I decided…
For my first experiment, I wanted to work on having my material make a full curve. My initial goal was to use cardboard and tape two external rib-like…
For this first model, I wanted to explore the folding abilities of perforated cardboard. So, I scored alternate sides of a strip of cardboard and threaded a string…
The first small sample I made was a simple 4-bar linkage. However, by attaching it to the first join of the thumb, there is a lot more flexibility…
Building off of one of my samples last week, I wanted to continue exploring the movements of the spine and its structure. For this experiment, rather than using…
In this assignment, I was challenged to create a mechanical structure that showed a symbiotic relationship between the structure and a movement found in the human body. As…
The two smaller linkages are controlled by the mouth, while the two larger ones are controlled by hand from below. Although there is no direct mechanical connection, due…
For this exercise, I created three samples and focused on them being in a symbiotic relationship with the body. By symbiotic, however, I did not necessarily intend for…
This first experiment uses a four-bar linkage to control an actuator using a pinching motion. I was interested in seeing how I could extend the motion through two…
