to answer a few questions and provide more info...
tiles are vacuumed formed PETG plastic so they're a few ounces at best for a 15" wide panel. think the weight of a 2 liter soda bottle. the process is intended to simulate superplastic forming of aluminum panels. the studio is inteded to use vacuum forming as a rapid prototyping method towards a aluminum SPF panel.
4 students in this group. you have to do this as this studio is a voluntarily additional class on top of the typical work load.
here are a few renderings of a typ. 30'x15' structural bay with the tiles... you can start to see how the pattern can shift across the field to create difference, gradient, singularities, and overall field continuity.
