Material and Application opening for the new installation by OylerWu Colaborative. Soon after people noticed the firm's entry to the current issue of architectural record. It has been a spacial month for them. Density Field is a network of structure that no column and beams are taking the major structural force. (...by the way, the steel bar sculpture stands without the subsidizing wires.) So there wasn't a hierarchy in construction sequence. The nest of steel bars kept twisting and turning 'til the very last piece locked into its place.
Walking through this dense network of structure, the cleanness of joints got people's attention. They broke down 3-D joints into 2-D intersections by placing a plane at each connection, and made a zig to assure the accurate and minimum welding. The craftsmanship of the piece is amazing.
