Stretched Fabric

Attachments


Core and Space Frame Arms

New Node Core


Mero Knoten joint at core
12 connection possibilities, could have up to 4 more
20" core
4" diameter holes
3'9" tall fins (8 fins)
Smaller holes would allow for more fins for a smoother shape
Rings snap together around core to hold fins in place
Space frame arms attach to holes in core

This technique could be used with any shape

Neural Nodes




Skeletal structure --> nodes
Shrink wrapped in rubber/fabric
Rubber/fabric inflatable --> pulsing
Lights travel from node to node
Between nodes is merely connective tissue
Focus is on nodes
