The Lumina

"Design something in the spirit of UVA... and build it for the university bicentennial in six weeks"

The first day of class our professor walked in and said the above statement. We began with a weekend long workshop to create pavilion design options using the grasshopper add-on of rhinoceros 5. Next we built prototypes and moved into the full scale production. The primary build material was polypropylene cut on a CNC router and connected with over 14,000 zip-ties. The project was successfully completed in the 6 week period and was a highlight at the UVA bicentennial kick off event.
