The paper clip inspired our team and took the everyday object as an opportunity to design an interlocking hanging system. The hanging system consists of paper clips as modules, an acrylic slab serving as an inverted floor plate, acrylic rings as variable change, and black spray-painted wood as the base holding everything together. Throughout the model, there are three size variations of paper clips. By intentionally staggering the size and placement of the hanging paper clips and acrylic rings, we aim to showcase our model's dynamic nature. The paperclips form connected hexagons that change in form as the model progresses. Each of our six variations explores varying volumes formed by the hexagonal paperclip mesh. Through our different variations, we wanted to change the overall height of the model, with the original being the longest, as well as change the volume of the model. We had variations with one, two, and three rings. Our compression model is based on our original hanging form and mimics the structural loads transferred through the paper clips with wooden sticks that form the same hexagonal pattern and overall volume.
