article⁄project 3XLP - Porous Skin Prototype (2014)
abstract⁄project 3xLP, the winning submission to the TEXFAB SKIN competition, is a continuation of design research on the structural properties of textured stainless steel sheeting, which typically is used for skinning and other nonstructural purposes. The team conducted performative analyses of the material, and verified the results through fullscale prototyping. Structural studies relied on scale shifts that began with molecular composition and culminated with largesale geometric systems. The work provides evidence of the adaptability, rigidity, and high performance of thingauge, textured metals it establishes the groundwork for new structurallybased design possibilities using sheet steel.
