Pipe. Connector.

Manipulation of Thermoplastic Pipes.

Pipe. Connector. The project explores thermoplastic pipes (that

become pliable when heated.) Various manipulations on the

raw material led to the creation of a connector. With a simple

technique of heating and pressing, the pipe changes its shape into

a tissue that envelops and reinforces the skeleton construction.

The series of objects created in this technique showcases the

connector and demonstrates its ability to serve as an axis, a rail,

or both.
