Cluster 1: bike frame demonstrator
Cluster 1: Formable bike frame structure
Cluster 1: k-means optimization
Cluster 1: pattern use case speculations
Based on the specific potentials, we sketched potential use case scenarios for three different patterns.
Continue readingCluster 1: pattern malleability
Besides varying capabilities for adapting to form variation of constituent parts, the surface-based bike-frame aggregations we studied previously, also have different bending flexibility.
Continue readingCluster 1: pattern 1 demonstrator
After mainly digital work, we fabricated a physical sample of a bike-frame construction.
Continue readingCluster 1: Lattice shell
Taking advantage of the kinematic adaptability of bike frame patterns, gently curved structures can be created.

Cluster 1: Bike frames revisited
Using entire bike frames connected at the standard bike joints, 2D lattices can be formed.
