Esquisse 2: Understanding form













































































The pyramid was a challenge! I initally wanted to have a template which didn't involve the square being in the middle, this way I could then join it at only one side. So I came up with some locking systems which involved cutting into the triangles and different angles, over and over again. This was very time consuming and looked very messy. Then I tried cutting holes towards the base of the triangle near the square and attached pieces of Xanita through the middle of the pyramid. This idea worked but didnt hold the pyramid together too well at the top, so then I moved the inter connection system upwards on the pyramid as to connect at more holes in the middle of the pyramid. After several attempts to get the correct size mini pyramid I attached it into the bigger pyramid and it held together atlast! This has definately been the most challenging exercise so far and I still need to perfect my 45 degree angle cut.
