I’m interested in developing an open-source sculpture/building “toy” system that will allow people to experiment with complexly curved shapes. The idea is to have a modeling system designed for a world in which curved architecture is increasingly prevalent, and in which tinkerers and designers are rapidly becoming enabled with 3D printers. I came very close to having Quirky develop this system but they ended up going in a different direction. After retrieving the intellectual property rights for the idea from Quirky I decided to develop this concept as an open-source project. Maybe some of you with CAD skills and access to 3D printers will help bring this new building-toy concept to life. (Some SketchUp files that explore this system are available here & here.)
