This is another attempt to design the pin-up space, in fact after some discussions in class our group have decided that the installation will function as an exhibition space instead of only been a pin-up station. However the goals are still the same.
The installation is comprised of 4 modules completely different from each other that when assembled together takes the shape seen on the image below (details of how the modules are tied together still been developed). Each module is made out of a base (preferable wood), columns (translucent material) and metal strings.

PROCESS:
While we were drawing the plan we tried to create different spaces making use of different angles, for example, the tight angles allow for a more intimate space, on the other hand, the open angles make possible for a larger amount of people to gather around a specific piece of art. We also would like to bring people inside the installation instead of allowing them to just walk around it.

The red line on the diagram above represents the base, the cyan line is an imaginary line that was offset from the red line and than slightly deformed by the vertex points. The cyan line is located 9 feet over the red line on the "Z" direction. Finally, the white horizontal lines are equidistant and the space between them is the width of the base divided by 25.

Every time that the white line intersect both the red and the cyan line a point was created.


The next step was to create a line connecting points from the red line to the cyan line. After those lines were created, extrusions of circles were made along each line to give it some thickness (the lines are now the columns). One last step was done to avoid the extrusions to go all the way along the line. We created a lofted surface that covers the entire installation looking from the top (in both directions - x and y) and this surface now works as an extrusion limit which gives a nice wavy effect when looking from side view and front view.
