This is an old revision of the document!
Vision
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.
Inspiration
Gyroid minimal surface
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.
Method
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.
First Step-Create a surface
Second Step - Make the design the structure(Total Failure!)
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.
