12 Rods and Planes











As I began this project, I had a lot of problems of producing a design using all 12 rods and all 12 planes. It took me several different tries to decide how and what I was going to do. My first attempt was very unorganized and did not use all the materials that were necessary. As I kept working on it, I came up with a similar idea to my final project, but then decided that something else needed to be change because it did not satisfy me. The way I had the paper positioned on the rods bothered me, so I as I worked with it, I arranged the paper in the way it is on the final model. I felt like this gave a good view from top, bottom, and side. It produces spaces within the paper, as well as within the rods. They are all connected to one another and hold each other together forming unity. This is how I decided that my final model would work for the final presentation.
