Cloud Terminal Prototyping Research

The Cloud Terminal prototype explores the development of a complex surface form through a metal mesh skin, focusing on the relationship between material performance and structural behavior. This research investigates how digitally modeled geometries can be translated into physical form, emphasizing precision in fabrication and material articulation. The physical modeling tests the adaptability of the mesh system, demonstrating how the structural design responds to varying stress levels across the surface. The study offers insights into the integration of digital design tools with material intelligence, highlighting both aesthetic expression and structural efficiency.
