Design Suggestions:
• Articulators may be stretched to points on walls, ceilings, floors, or movable objects such as weights or furniture.
• When installing Juxtaform® Space Articulators remember: the greater the warp, the more dramatic the design.
• A panel is warped by pulling one or more points away from and perpendicular to the overall plane of the Articulator.
• Articulators may be overlapped, intertwined, or mirrored.
• Repetitive forms work well to create planes in space.
• Articulators may be joined together at points. Multiple Articulators may share the same wall or ceiling connection point.
• Some Articulators lend themselves to pushing at their centers or points. Lightweight rods or dowels, used with tensioned
   guy-line, may be used to push away from a ceiling or wall.
• Please contact us if you would like to receive Juxtaform® Space Articulator shapes in AutoCAD format.
• Many different materials may be used for ceilings and wall connection points including eye-hooks, triangle-hooks, rings, clips,
   monofilament, braided wire, thin cable, and light nylon cord.
Diagramming Instructions:

Prior to the installation of Juxtaform® Space Articulators, establish your design on paper. See sample design diagram on right.

1. Mark placement of connection points.

a) A line which splits the point of the Articulator and continues through space to the nearest support surface or structure will provide the connection point location. If necessary, secure two lines together to establish a specific point in space. (see diagram a)


b) It is possible to direct a point to a location in space other than one on the natural path to the nearest surface or structure. Use rods or dowels to push the Articulator point away from a surface and tension in place with a guy line. (see diagram b)

2. Indicate all vertical and horizontal distances from connection points to other structures, on the diagram.

Installation Instructions:

1. Place temporary connectors (small nails, screws, or ‘C’ clamps work well) at connection points on all surfaces.
2. Attach monofilament to one end of triangle-hook.
3. Slip other end of triangle-hook through point of panel.
4. Attach loose end of monofilament to temporary surface connector.
5. Repeat for all points, all panels.
6. Adjust monofilament lengths to tension Articulators evenly. Be cautious not to over-stretch. Panels should not be stretched to      their maximum point.
7. Adjust connection points so that Articulator curve angles match design drawing. It is best to pull all
points evenly so that curves      have a continuous,
smooth arc.
8. Replace temporary connectors with permanent
connectors.
