Modular construction and modification by participants
1:20 scale model - built from card with magnetic joints
Interconnected tetrahelices
1:20 scale model - built from card with magnetic joints
Growth over time
Renders showing a potential form growing over the course of the festival Note the form is made from 160 modules [buildable with $19.5k Art Grant funding - if additional funding is secured from other sources, the number of modules could be increased]
Visualisation - Day
Render showing TETRA in use during the day Note the form is made from 160 modules [buildable with $19.5k Art Grant funding - if additional funding is secured from other sources, the number of modules could be increased]
Visualisation - Night
Render showing TETRA in use during the night Note the form is made from 160 modules [buildable with $19.5k Art Grant funding - if additional funding is secured from other sources, the number of modules could be increased]
Visualisation - Extended
Render showing an extended version of TETRA Note the form is made from 300 modules, showing the potential to extend the project if additional funding is secured
Modular connection
1:2 scale model - testing connection options including bolts, magnets, and hook and loop systems [bolt option shown]
