Based on the final parametric variation produced in the second assignment, a structural model for a house is produced. The geometry generated from the combination of structural elements, tensile elements, and loads is abstracted into a tectonic framework consisted of multiple triangular modules. Learning from the lecture on tectonic frames, wood was chosen as the fundamental material that can hold both tension and compression forces within the frame.
