This project is a collaboration with José Sanchez (Plethora project, University of michigan)

Physical Prototype:

The Combinatorial Nest has been physically prototyped at 1:1 scale to understand the material challenges of the system, in particular, the assembly sequence. By using standardized pieces and joints, smaller samples of the project are able to identify the challenges that will be faced building the final pavilion. The project is enframed by the paradigm of Discrete Architecture, that aims to increase the affordability of complexity by the combinatorial patterning of standardized units, avoiding non-standard fabrication of the totality of the project. The serialization, in this case, affords automation without relying on a predefined outcome.
