This was really a proof of concept in terms of being able to create and keep track of all these pieces within Grasshopper. I have plans to cut/fold a set of the pieces out of sheet metal and see how they behave.

This N55 spaceframe ( http://www.n55.dk/MANUALS/SPACEFRAME/spaceframe.html ) was in the back of my mind when I was working on this, but I wanted to allow more geometric flexibility.

I saw your thesis work hanging up last quarter. I really liked your joinery system. Congrats on being done.

The animations were all done using grasshopper and giulio piacentino's render animation c# component. I then assembled everything using Apple's Keynote software which is very easy to use.
