The Extension

The Extension is a sustainable system of polyhedral connected together which can be assembled when needed. The space can be occupied and be used as a working space. The joineries to construct the framework of the structure are design so that they can be 3D printed and can still be able to support the structure. 3D printing is explored by making prototypes for the same in various scales.
