Above demonstrates at full scale integrating the weave into the super structure. The dimensions of the members are from the rhino model and show spacing currently used in the digital model. By notching the superstructure, thinner strips of acrylic could be introduced accurately and seamlessly. the scale of these notches is too bulky however. Also, there needs to be the same number of horizontal notches, as vertical notches-the striped member doesn't follow the weave logic due to the 3x4 arrangement. Is this dense enough to accept mud plaster? The spacing of the thin members leaves about a 1"x.75" gap. On the final I will use a 4x4 notch scheme with a much shallower notch, perhaps half of what is shown, allowing for the desired weave.

what about wood? willow branches?
That could be awesome-really natural and hand driven versus the clean computer generated structure. I might move forward with 1/2 scale, full scale seems daunting after this weekend.
