Our Mechanical model is consisted of two rings: one inner ring connected to the roots of several rods and an outer ring which controls the direction in which the rods point out. This mechanical model allows us to create flexibility for the change of form. By pushing the pins (or rods) out of the outer ring we change the radius of a circle and when we stack three of these mechanical units and individually control their height, a whole set of form possibilities will expose: tall and skinny, short and fat, cylinder-like, mushroom-like, or mountain-like, all possible. Due to the limit of time, however, we were only able to complete one unit. Instead of going on to making a second or third unit, we tried exploring an alternative: creating additional components on to the end of each rod. As each rod stretches out, a new face opens up. All around creating a flower-like structure. We believe such mechanism can be applied on many architectural needs.
