This project aims to understand, take advantage of and modify the structural integrity of the equilateral triangle by introducing it to rules or parameters and growing the structure into aggregations. Iterations after the initial modification of the geometry were taken forward and introduced to wires (threads at the prototype component level) and metal members to hold the structure in place when under a load, and the rules of attachment were informed by the analysis of the principal stress line and displacement pattern of the chosen component. The placement of the wires played a crucial role when the aggregations were made, to maintain the geometric and structural stability based on the placement of these members.
