Testa Studio

Testa Studio。ストラクチャーを提案。かなづちもロクに使えない若造に新しいストラクチャー (より軽く、より早い) を提案せよ、とは。でも文句を言ってないで三人寄れば何か出てくる。プラスチックで Origami をやるとこうなる。あらかじめミシン目のようにプラスチックにカットを入れておいて熱した鉄の縁に押し当て、ゆっくりと折っていきます。こういうどろ臭い作業大好き♪

Doing Origami with plastic for Testa Studio. Lighter and more efficient structure. Informal fabrication on site with unskilled labor (even though I'm so proud that I completed the model without giving it up...) We give sheets of plastic strength and intelligence to perform as structure. Automorphism is a critical concept for our proposal, where each components perform differently depending on the neighbors. The completed structure is in tension and if I cut one of their arms, entire unit blasts open.
