Exploring the material of Metal our group focused on a cable system that was designed to use only tension forces to create a covered pavilion.

 The process required hands on exploration as tension forces could not be 3D modeled to accuracy. 

The result exhibited a layering of opaque mesh material that could be explored and experienced differently. Private sections included more layers and lower heights while public sections were higher in heights and lower in opacity.
