What does the anatomy of a rigid construct look like?
Here I am looking at the extreme side of things where a support system has taken over forming a closed loop of sorts, with glass pieces acting as bridges or connections linking pieces of rigid foam together forming a loop. The pieces are comfortingly unambiguous and somewhat repetitive and predictable. It’s modular in nature and can be free assembled and standing but all the parts have their place, there’s no interchangeability or flexibility within the parts. To make the loop, parts have to be assembled in order as each one relies on the next for stability.
