bench in progress...

more revisions to the bench profiles. the original competition entry had the profiles revolving with the geometry of the bench, however this poses problems with how we slot the bench profiles with the deck underneath. now, we are continuing the primary profiles of the roof and floor into the bench. for the cross-members we are looking at taking the sections in one direction for the vertical surfaces of the bench (horizontal sections) and another for the horizontal (seating) surfaces of the bench. we still need to work on the density and spacing of the profiles, but i think we now have the principle in place.

as the deadline approaches and the complexity of joints is exposed, we are basing many decisions on the infamous "KISS Principle".

however, as usual, all sections are completely planar, but never parrallel...
