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.

Scales

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

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

Open Architecture

One of the research areas of OpenStructures is architecture.

Architects of the Brussels Cooperation Collective have worked on the subject.

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