From Sheet to Form

Cornell University | Spring 2015
Cornell University Design Seminar on CNC/Digital Fabrication
Professor Sasa Ziskovic and Martin Miller
Collaborators: Savannah Chasinghawk and Courtney Park
​From Sheet to Form explored emerging materials and processes in digital fabrication. Inspired by the technique of Dukta kerfing and fiberglass shaping, my collaborators and I explored polystyrene kerfing. By milling grid patterns on both sides of a 3” polystyrene panel, the panel could flex in two directions, creating concave-convex configurations. The resultant shape, a catenary dome similar to Kangaroo modeling, can be stabilized through the application of fiberglass layers. An aggregation of these panels can generate an undulating surface with dynamic light qualities.
