Method to design and fabricate an octahedral-tetrahedral spaceframe from repurposed scaffolding

Spatial structures find many applications in architecture and construction as flat trusses, but few examples take advantage of the rich variety of configurations that a multi-layered octahedral- tetrahedral (octet) spaceframe can accommodate. The octet geometry is considered because of its inherent...
