Tetradrone investigates tetrahedral geometry’s structural potential through propagative variations, initially applied in a cantilevering staircase via linear propagation. The same modular unit was adaptively reconfigured to form bearing systems, long-span vaults (12m), cantilevers, and planar structures, demonstrating geometric versatility. Tectonically, the system employs dual-folded plate connections, optimizing material efficiency. Programmatically, it houses a paper-making workshop with integrated residential units, merging structural innovation with functional architecture. The study highlights how a singular modular approach can yield diverse spatial and load-bearing solutions, emphasizing scalability, adaptability, and tectonic coherence in modular design.
