This project involved the design of an MIT sticker. I really like the
old MIT logo so I decided to make a new, more contemporary version of it.

My press-fit project involved the creation of a stereographic projection of a
hexadecahoron (16cell) (SPH). A 16cell is a convex regular polychoron.
Polychora are four-dimensional analogs of the Platonic solids.
Understanding the generative process of the object was crucial to planing the design process.
An SPH can be created by extracting the intersections of the spheres of a 3d 4 set Venn Diagram.
One of the most difficult aspects of this design were the joints. Since multiple edges end
in a joint there is a substantial difficulty translating this joint into 2d elements.
Therefore, different possibilities were explored in order to adjust the design of the joint.
This is the final sequence of transformations that were chosen in order to adapt the design.
After the joints were created they were attached to the intersection
curves and adjusted with each other.
Then the joint slits were created.
Finally the pieces were laid down.
