The Weave

Expansion & Contraction A mesh type structure or \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"weave\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" responds to internal and external activator \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"chambers”, which enables it to expand and contract. These movements were later constrained by a series of fixed and flexible joints, which enabled a more specific observation of the structure’s behavior. Depending on the placement of these “chambers” and also on some constraints rings that were applied either on the extremes or on the middle area, there were a series of variations and behaviors that could be appreciated and were mapped for the further development of the structure.
