Modelling!

Been using rhino to experiment with ideas for a pneumatic structure. Also tried to array across a surface but need more memory to render it properly.

Nottingham Tram Route – Phase 2

The site, at Iremonger Pond, will be part of the new tram route from Nottingham to Clifton via Wilford. “Works associated with the construction of NET Phase Two could start as early as autumn 2011, with the new lines open for service in late 2014.” – Source: http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/netphase2/index.aspx?articleid=8841

 

Maine Road will be closed to other traffic and a new tram stop will be constructed. This is the starting point for my project.

Hoberman Sphere

Interested in how the ideas behind this expandable structure could be applied to my component/design. Folding parts- propelled by pneumatic elements.
