The midpoints of the edges of a solid square were used to set the rules for component design exploration.

When the components edg-es are combined they cre-ate a faceted solid object. The aggregate of this object results in several forms when combined at different points

The pattern was flipped and in a cube if forms a polarized pattern where planes were discovered.

For construction, the planes can be broken down individ-ually and assembled adge to edge creating a tubular cen-ter where a tie rod can hold the indivual planes together.

When aggregate along the corner the tie rod can extend from one component to the next.

The aggregate of the compo-nents can be structurally ap-plied to staircases or trusses.
