Digital Fabrication

My intent for this project was to take the honeycomb model and explore the possibilities presented by the form's pattern and the ways the form could be manipulated for transparency. I chose to isolate a small hexagonal pattern and regularize it and then slice it. After evaluation I chose to use only several slices through the model and leave a separation between them to really emphasize the way the pattern can be overlapped and the effects of light through the form. Additionally, the guiding principle of the design of the model is the hexagonal form, which is utilized in the smaller units, composed into a larger hexagonal whole, and intersected by a hexagonal framing system.
