PROCESS
Through numerous reconfigurations and consistent testing, our exploration centered on the bending moment between compressive forces. We aimed to eliminate horizontal supports by designing a plywood plane with strategically placed holes and slits along its perimeter. These openings served dual purposes: they utilized friction to stabilize the structure and provided anchor points for a tensile element, such as rope, to ensure equilibrium.
