In creating this structure, the roundness of the base was held as constant while the emerging structural supports manipulated. The height each support was tied to the length between the outermost and innermost circles on the ground plane. A mid point circle was created in this plane as well, which when moved, changed the shape of the structures above (see diagrams showing constraints at bottom). All members maintained their angular orientation from one another, so to prevent twisting of the structure.In all 5 variations, the base kept its original shape and location, while the structural members were pulled, skewed and collapsed per the relationship with the ground plane below.
Based (loosely) on the Wichita House, the design features a window and 2 vent stacks that change in size as the surrounding members expand further away, of contract closer together. The stacks also shrink in height as their radius is reduced.
