Or perhaps there is another way? As templates for production, patterns possess an under-utilized potential for generating forms with complexity beyond that of simple pasteboard box construction. This thesis is an investigation of that potential, pursuing pattern-based techniques for constructing stressed-skin structural panels from plywood.64 ppengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
