The surface exhibits bending in both directions to produce two tube-like holes

Inside a cubic bounding frame, the surface is designed with a gradual introduction of double-curvature

The project explores a labor intensive, low-cost workflow of assembling laser cut pieces

On closer inspection, the curvature of the self-warped holes halts the eyes of an onlooker

The rationalization is informed by the material properties of the 300 gsm paper pulp sheets

Wormhole Installation

WEsearch lab recently built the Wormhole installation in CEPT University, Ahmedabad, India to explore a labour intensive low-cost workflow of assembling laser cut pieces of a free-form surface in developing South-east Asian countries, and to explore how the digital process of design and rationalisation preceding the construction responds to such a workflow. The installation is literally a wormhole shaped faceted skin circumscribed in a 2m x 2m x 2m cube. It is built within a budget of 200 USD with 792 custom pieces (triangles with flaps) of 300 gsm paper pulp sheets which are joined by 10mm wide staples and supported by a 15mm x 15mm x 1mm MS hollow section running along the periphery.
