This modular stacking structure highlights the beautiful curves and symmetries of the gyroid surface. The assembly instructions below might sound a bit confusing, but it becomes quite intuitive once you start working with it.
The profiles of the columns are referenced from the hexagonal matric created by slicing a gyroid surface along a diagonal plane.
There are two types of horizontal surfaces that make up the center part of each column. One surface has tighter curves, the other is flatter. These surfaces alternate moving along the column. The flatter surface is referred to here as “A”, the surface with tighter curves is referred to as “B.” When assembling columns, you will therefore want to alternate surfaces of type “A” and “B”.
To complicate matters more, half of the surfaces on the six neighbouring columns are offset down by one-third, the other half are offset up by one-third. These three types of columns are referred to here as “High, “Mid,” and “Low”.
