Hexagonal Brick Module
Inspired by the hexagon as a pattern unit prevalent in nature, I wanted to apply the two-dimensional idea of the honeycomb pattern to a three-dimensional construct. As a flat pattern, the honeycomb can expand infinitely, and it was my hope to develop a universal module that could also expand infinitely via multiple possible configurations.
Rather than consider the final construct while designing the module, I instead focused entirely on the individual unit, in an attempt to fully understand its capabilities. This approach led to developments beyond the pure form, incorporating notches and recesses into the unit in order to offer connection possibilities beyond simple stacking of the modules.
