Nubular
heat-pressed perforated pvc skin, soil, sawdust, foam balls, zip ties
The Nubular lightweight structure is an exploration into an injection-based architecture. A homogeneous building material, in this case a perforated PVC skin, is used to create tubes of custom lengths and angles, which are then filled with one’s material of choice depending on the tube’s position within the overall structure. The implications for such architectural systems are vast, as the tube skin can accommodate for any desired material filling, dependant on one’s exact design, site, and structural needs.
