Project
Filament Tower (2006)
AP174.S1.2006.D1
Description:
This project file documents multiple configurations and variations of an unbuilt design by Testa & Weiser for Filament Tower (2006), a carbon fibre tower made of filament strands and wrapped in a molecularly imprinted membrane. The file consists of a single project folio in Adobe PDF format created by Devyn Weiser in 2014.

Project
Strand Tower (2006)
AP174.S1.2006.D2
Description:
This project file documents unbuilt designs by Testa & Weiser for Strand Tower (2006), a continuation of the Carbon Tower research project. Various iterations of Strand Tower are woven out of carbon fibre according to a pattern algorithmically generated by the Weaver software. “The complexity of the final design is produced by arraying a basic fiber bundle of 114 strands; stacked 70 times for a total of approximately 8,000 strands.”[1] The file contains a large number of digital files which document the conceptual and design development of the project, fabrication of 3D printed physical models, and exhibition of the project at several museums and galleries, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. The file also includes six physical models produced by the 3D printing firm 3D Systems. Sources: [1] "Strand Tower project and credit text" (AP174.S1.2006.D2.007).
