Hystrix Fort — 1:1 Build

Hystrix Fort was one of ten Project 3A designs selected to be built at full scale. Every piece is a unique triangle, so the 1:10 model was digitised in SketchUp to measure each piece before cutting corrugated board to exact sizes. The pieces join with interlocks, hot glue and tape. The team worked through misplaced interlocks, fragile cardboard, shifted pieces and sizing errors. The pod was then moved in parts to the library, reassembled and finished with brown tape. The build also exercised communication between "architects" and "builders".
