algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Our pavilion presents itself as a kind of beach screen for Volga riverbank. An aestetic of the object, which consist of yellow “stars”, is simultaneously due to the features of the tensegrity construction and to the representation of Samara as a city of space industry.
The pavilion is formed by 128 crosses made of 9 mm plywood. Each cross has its individual form. They are connected only by stretched vertical steel cables. We wanted to make manually assembled object, which was elaborated using parametric design techniques. All plywood elements were prefabricated with CNC machine, including a mounting frame for cables assembling. This allowed us to assemble a compound parametric tensegrity construction with high accuracy and just as it was designed.
