PROCESS

In the Reciprocal model, the roof structure was not entirely rigid because the angle of each circle will wrap when forces are applied in different directions. Especially, when one pushes down on the top two loops, the model begins to flatten. To improve on the rigidity, we decided to strengthen the snowflakes and create a framework to enforce the structure.
