Snow Flake
In this exercise I wanted to explore the possiblity of unit that can manifest an open system quality.
I choose snow flake as a departure point because of the inherent qualities that this crystal has, but mainly because of its hexagonal symmetry.
Sketch of snow crystal by René Descartes
In drawing this hexagonal I realized that this shape hold within itself many geometrical complexties and opted to use the equilateral triangle as the primary unit for the open system that I wish to explore.
started with an equilateral triangle as it was the logical component to extract from this geometry.
I set up a template with some score and cut line and assembled the first system
Variant 2 of the system using a component with more scores then cut.
Version 2
Changes:
1. triangle fold is on a different axes
2.triangle scale and inner cuts are scaled differently
