I want to see possibilities of textile for molding. My idea is to use concrete create amorphous spaces. I do not wanna use any molding technique. I just wanna create a repetitive surface to see what is gonna be happen.

Since architectural school ı had always curiosity about Minimal surfaces. I modeled before a gyroid minimal surface which seems really easy to me.

There is also my research links of minimal surfaces.:

And here is the wonderful link of Alan H. Schoen.

For Alan H. Schoen, Gyroid minimal surfaces which contains the only surface free of transverse self-intersections.

I followed this Youtube tutorial. Basically, you have to create a box and delete 3 of the surface 6 out of it. And stretch these 3 surfaces from their middle point.

ı decided to mimic his actions in real life.

• Create a box from wood (Structure)
• Cut a textile ( Surface)
• Stretch fabric from middle points and connect them with structure.
• Duplicate them 8 times.

I used MakerCase website to obtain my laser files.

The first box that I created was too bulky! Even the textile was hardly fitting to my box.
