OpenStructures is an open source modular construction model based on a shared geometrical grid, called the OS grid. It was conceived by designer Thomas Lommée, and first demonstrated at the Z33 conference.[clarification needed] [1]

Scales

OpenStrucures works at several scales, including (from smallest to biggest):[1]

  • Parts.
  • Components or organs, such as motors.[2]
  • Structures, where different components are composed with frames and joints, such as a bicycle.[3][4]

Open Architecture

One of the research areas of OpenStructures is architecture.

Architects of the Brussels Cooperation Collective have worked on the subject. [5]

Autarkytect the Autarkytecture project is based in OpenStructures and proposes flexible constructions that can adapt over time.[6]
