Below is structural system I designed while at SAIC for an exhibition at iSalone International Design Week, Milan 2009. The project used Rhino and CNC fabrication to create highly irregularly curved but structural forms with a custom geodesic-meets-lamella truss modular design. This was my first work in parametric design… I still love it. Not shown below is the final tensioning system - cable + marine turnbuckles.

The Digeotruss also supported an interactive lighting installation which employed a camera and particle cloud map to sense and react to movement instead of motion sensors.

The “Digeotruss” is at once playful and immensely serious - on the one hand seeking full plasticity of form; on the other seeking a rigorous standard of inherent structural design integrity.”
