Methods 1:1 manufactured prototypes, including CNC folding, plasma cutting and semi-automated welding, were central to the research process. In addition, simultaneous elementary sketches, 2D and 3D CAD models (Vectorworks, Rhino, Autodesk Inventor), 3D printed scaled models (ZCorp), contextual drawings (Illustrator and Photoshop), further CNC-manufactured prototypes in steel plate, and modifications during fabrication (metalwork, finishing) were used. Dissemination Published in a monograph, refereed paper and three book chapters, featured in a touring exhibition, and presented in six international keynotes/lectures. It has also been widely reviewed, including in three book chapters, 11 journal articles and three online video documentaries.
