Parallel Session 29, The Milgo Experiment

Haresh Lalvani from the Pratt Institute & Lalvani Studio, US, presents his work on flat sheet metal.

Milgo Experiment 4 dealt with Hypersurfaces introduced by the author in 1992 as a new class of surfaces comprising curved polygonal elements subdivided into portions of periodic, non-periodic or arbitrary tiling patterns. The tiling patterns are 2D projections from higher dimensions. The polygonal elements are joined to make 3D structures. Experiment 4 showed how these hypersurfaces can be built from flat sheet metal using the standard technique of folding and joining flattened nets. Though a known craft, the fabrication is not trivial due to the large number of polygons in highly faceted surfaces that are folded from 2D into 3D at the correct dihedral angles. This is an issue when the metal becomes thicker as in SEED54 which was bent from 1/4 inch thick stainless steel sheets. The method of fabrication extends to non-convex surfaces with negative curvatures. The latter are shown with digital models and await future realizations.
