Closeup shot of the 3d-printed T-Joint connector. Closeup shot of the 3d-printed two-way connector with attachement points for PET-G cable mounting. Closeup of the 3d-printed final microcontroller housing which also serves as an endcap connector piece. My initial module concept which was proposed for the aggregated sensor-informed screening device. Disassembled view of the finalized screening module which our group moved forward with. A shot of the initial form explorations via 3D printing. A shot showing some of the second versions of the initial connector pieces. An initial 3d-printed connector joint.
My initial sketch showcasing an proposed design using metal and wood. My initial sketch showcasing a design aimed at mitigating noise. Sketch showcasing an “option catalogue” of various assembly styles based upon low and high engagement with the public. Early stage rendering showcasing the various form options achievable based upon formal constraints and user interaction levels. The initial wooden aggregated screen module I created with the 3D printed small scale model showing aggregation types. Individual small scale 3D printed modules laid out.

Slidestack (2024)

A CNC milled plywood and 3D printed screening element that is responsive to human interaction through using a PIR sensor, as well as temperature sensing to log engagement–allowing the screening element to evolve itself based on which design garners the most interaction.

My role(s) in this two-person group project included: creating 3D printed connectors, electronic housings, and joints, vacuforming crocheted PET-G panels, coding and setup of the IoT integrated microcontroller and LED lighting.
