In an attempt to explore the relationship between structural performance and geometry given the resources at RPI we developed structural composite skins and panels that would eventually be integrated into larger composite structures and systems.

In addition to the structural conditions that developed using composite techniques, the effect of these techniques were also equally relevant.
