Incised Morphology

This project explores cutting patterns in rigid materials like MDF and plywood, enabling them to bend and twist based on material thickness and scale. Utilizing strip morphology and modules derived from strips, these patterns integrate principles of strip morphology, previously achievable only with flexible materials like metal or flexi-ply. The term Incised Morphology highlights how precise incisions dictate a strip's bending and twisting, transforming it into diverse three-dimensional forms. Through laser and CNC cutting, this approach emphasizes the potential of computational and material-driven design to generate unique morphologies via systematic pattern manipulation.
