The elemental module gives the project, as a whole, multiple connection types at various angles. The module itself has imbedded docking points in the joint, which consist of: 90°, 135°, and 180°. The joint itself has a characteristic of its own which allows the module to rotate. The separate module pieces, when combined to create a hybrid, can span extremely well in the x, y, and z axises. This can create density and porosities to the entire composition. With this in mind, one can control the scale of the overall piece as well; it can either be small or big depending on the designer’s taste. The pieces themselves, with all of its possibilities, will offer a multitude of options to the play stage set; it can morph to the needs of the play. Depending on the stage type, configuration can be more or less dominant according to the play’s blocking. Forms are limitless and can either produce literal forms of stage sets, or a more abstract and freeform set piece.
