The Structure was assembled and exhibited during Aarhus's Kulturnatten on the 14th October 2011.

For more information on the Kulturnatten(Cultural Night) please visit: http://www.kulturnatten.dk/en/culture-night.aspx

An Aarhus School of Architecture, studio: Digital Tectonics, we had an intensive in collaboration with University of Technology Sydney, over the past 2 weeks working over 1800 Man Hours designing; prototyping and even small scale testing to present to a pavilion that was originally inspired by Gaudi's Principles of Invertion.

Based on a script designed in Processing by Dave Pilgram, we began a form finding interrogation of what we wanted to achieve. After which we used Rhino, a NURBS program, with the aid of scripting in the language of Python, in order to logically unroll; tag and modularise each element.

Thus began the process of production using technique developed by PhD Candidate Ole Egholm of Aarhus School of Architecture: laser cutting, folding, casting in concrete, joints, scaffolding and building.

Just to give you an idea of the pre-built testing:

We did a 24 module test please find the link to the test piece here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5fCkzqg86c)

5 Different Joint Mechanism Test

6 Piece Prototype

The final model weighs approximate 800kgs or 1764lbs; 110 Pieces including 25 Base Pieces; 250 Scaffold Pieces made of recycled industrial corrugated cardboard; 4 Styrofoam Blocks that were recycled from previous projects and cut to size; 500 Cable-Ties(5mm - 50kg Load Capacity); 50 or 2 x 6mm Thick Plywood Bracket on each Base; And over 250m 6mm/8mm Thick Reinforcement Bars
