Back to school, back to the prototyping

Continuing to rework the form, angle and shape of the tube-trees has been an interesting challenge. Connection details are becoming more refined and strong, additional layers of tubes have been added to the trees and the production line of work has begun. As we've been working with several new prototypes of the model, we've also begun exploring at a 1:1 scale our additional layer of design that, currently, is developing into fabric sails. Creating voids and masked parts among the branches with this layer, a new dynamic is being explored as we begin to work towards creating an entire courtyard filled with our fabricated trees.
