teTramin

tetraMIN is a hanging screen aggregate consisting of componentry generated from tetrahedron geometry via Rhino’s Grasshopper parametric modeling plug-in. Comprised of laser cut polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) scraps, each component forms a periodic minimal surface, and is propagated into a regular pattern by a series of reflecting/mirroring operations. The PTFE is the former roof material from the RCA Dome, a large pneumatic roof stadium prior to demolition in 2008, and was donated to the studio by Michael Bricker, director of People for Urban Progress, located in Indianapolis, Indiana.
