Interlocking-based Flat Pack System
One for all, all for one
This project is about interlocking-based flat pack system. An interlocking-based flat pack design is able to create spaces when required, such as an Exhibition Venue proposed on the site of Hudson Yards, New York. The proposal is based on the rhombic dodecahedra that is able tessellate three-dimensional space. The geometry's main advantage is its ability to grow diagonally, therefore not limiting to vertical and horizontal growth. With the advantages of flat packing, this material system is envisioned to deploy on site to meet the large scale and varying programmatic demands of the city. Variations within the system are generated via porosity change that maintains the same connection detail and scale change that requires an adaptor component.
A system that is one for all, all for one.
