This project was an investigation into the structure of a lightweight, hinged cantilever anchored to a horizontal and vertical plane. The model explores the structural advantages of hyperbolic paraboloids as well as structural pleating, one-way flap connections, quad mesh segmentation and multi-goal optimization with Karamba and Octopus.
