Esquisse two - Locking System

This is my structure for locking system. The three cylinders have different locking systems on each of them. They are connected to each other by a smaller cylindrical tube. My priority in this practice is to use the material as minimum as possible. This structure is able to withstand my own weight (the slight deformation on the edges explains how hard this structure has been through).

Geometric Forms

Flat pattern of the geometric shapes

The Cube and Pyramid are formed by folding the surfaces up from the flat shape pattern. The sides are connected by inserting the small trapezium shaped edges into the rectangular ones. There is a small cut in the middle part of each rectangular edges. The sphere is formed by sliding different size of circles to create a 3D form. Each circle has a half cut line through the middle to join with another circle. The extra cuts on the sides are for the smaller circles. These pattern provides stability and strength as the circles are holding one another through its repetitive formation.

Above is the mock up using singular pieces slid and joined together forming a 3D pyramid structure.
