reciprocal structure

Team:

Marco Bencivenga, Claudia Mele, Elena Ciancio, Andrea Giglio, Francesca Iorio, Antonio Amato, Marco Finizio, Lidia Salvati, Ivana Fabbricino, Laura Moscarella, Rafael Ballesteros

Spatial Reciprocal Frames are three dimensional grids, consisting in a building system of mutually supporting beams. There are short beams, each others holding up and between connected with frinction only or with simple joins. A reciprocal frame structure can be constructed from identical or non-identical basic elements as long as a tessellation pattern exists.

chidori structure

Team:
Francesca Vardaro, Claudia Catena, Ilaria Amato, Federico Forestiero, Villanova Antonio, Federica Fiorentino, Damiana Palma, Stefano Schiazzano, Flavio Galdi, Francesca Ferrara

 

Chidori system is based on a traditional Japanese toy.  The wood planks are connected through a joint system allowing them to stay together even without the use of nails or glue. Numerous combinations are possible for their assemblage, making it usable as a table, shelf, or even a wall.

branching structure

Team:
Sara Maione, Galluccio Guiliano, Giovanna Apuzzo, Teresa Ciccone, Mario Imperato, Ina Bowinkelmann, Filomena Dato, Rosa Mosca, Alessandro Fontanella, Sara Taglialatela

Branching system: This structure is based on geometric systems that expand through bifurcation. In this sense, branching structures resemble the structure of trees that branch continually outward. In architectural engineering, these forms can be used either as tension or compression systems.
