REMODELED ARCHIMEDEAN GAZEBO

Apart from understanding the properties of wood as a material and pushing its use as a structural member to its limits by simultaneously bending it, I also got to learn different techniques of digital fabrications like C.N.C, laser cutting and 3-D printing. The final design here, is an Archimedean solid, with one of its face removed to act as an entrance. Unlike the  conventional planar structures, each face of this total 11 equilateral triangles is made of curves to give it a wavy and a flowy appearance.
