Wednesday morning started with wiring works, getting the 1:1 test model its tension. Then it was taken to the site and after a brief review the design process of the final 20 cells could be started. As time passed, by night the first final pieces were already being milled on a CNC machine.

Wiring of the test model involved many helpful hands

Undergoing cable wiring assembly

Now we gave it the first test on internal stability, tilting it slightly - structure holds itself like a 3d truss

Time to go outside, see the place and initiate final design discussions

After a successful test model 1:1 being done, our team of Biodigital Masters gathered for a small celebration of... Lamilas birthday!

Later on when it was already getting dark, the model was brought outside to the site again to test the visual features of the skin

Meanwhile the first final towers pieces were started to be cut out on a CNC machine

The three parts that touch the ground have "signature" engravings: TENCELLITY TOWER, BIODIGITAL MASTER ´08, ESARQ_UIC
