The model is a system of straws held in compression by a system of strings that are in tension. The aggregation of this system creates spatial qualities from the straws and strings. In most cases a triangulation of reciprocal tension in the strings was required to keep the system of straws upright and stable. Our aggregate system was built by following the tension of the strings. If an aggregate created a looser tension, we would add a reciprocal force to counteract the looseness.
