Tectonic Reef Ex-Lab

Over two weeks students explored rule based aggregations and variations of tetrahedron geometries through analog and digital models while simultaneously devising a joinery and documentation system for the full scale build. These images from the 1:1 scale build with the Ex-Lab as part of St Kilda Festival 2011.

The final structure took 8 hours to complete and covered approximately 400 square meters of beach using over two thousand bamboo poles.
