White Structures: interlocking acrylic components

The project

White Structures brings together a series of components manufactured at Archicercle to connect with one another and form modular structures. The studio’s contribution centres on manufacturing the components and their connecting slots.

Each component incorporates small cuts at its corners that allow it to connect to others. These slots link the individual component to the whole: as the connections are repeated, separate pieces come together to form a structure.

The components are made from 1 mm white acrylic. Their rounded outlines and connecting slots define a geometry that repeats across the different groupings. The resulting arrangement combines the white surfaces of the pieces with the open spaces between them.

The work encompasses the manufacture of the components, while the documented groupings demonstrate how they relate to one another when connected. The project’s distinctive feature lies in this relationship between a small element, its connecting points and the structures it can form through repetition.

Slots at the corners allow the modules to connect to one another.
