Description
The initial idea of Mola emerged during a postgraduate program in architecture when our founder was concerned about the abstract approach to structure-related topics. In 2014, after ten years of design development, we launched the first Mola Structural Kit. Our goal is to assist the teaching and learning of structures more playfully and intuitively, expanding the knowledge of students, professionals, and laypeople on the functioning of the structures surrounding us. Mola Structural Kit 2 Mola Structural Kit 2 is also a great starter set to explore and realistically simulate different structural systems, such as grid, stayed column, trussed beam, and geodesics in a playful and tangible way. Mola 2 splice connections unlock continuous pillars, continuous beams, transition beams, and more. Plates and diagonal pieces come in new sizes, offering you more room to flex your creativity muscles. Mola Structural Kit 2 works independently and it is also compatible with: Mola Structural Kit 1 Mola Structural Kit 3 See and touch structural behavior Understanding abstract concepts like bracing and buckling is often a daunting task. Mola solves this by bringing an intuitive and sensory experience to visualize and feel the movements and deformations of structures. Simulate with scientific confidence Mola is built upon our founder's Master's thesis in Civil Engineering. Its scientific validation shows that the model's behavior is very similar to a real structure, confirming Mola as a reliable tool for qualitative structural analysis. Easy to use everywhere Pull your Mola off the desk and easily explain a system behavior to blow away your clients. Enable all departments to use Mola in lectures, workshops, and competitions. Play by yourself and enjoy an intuitive discovery. What's in the box Mola Structural Kit 2 Manual Written in both English and Portuguese, it explains the parts and assembly processes. It's also a practical guide with a series of examples presented in a clear and didactic way. This 36-page workbook will help continue the structural journey and deepen previous studies. Build over 100 different structural arrangements Understand abstract concepts in a tangible and concrete way Create your own structural solutions
Features
DISCOVER INTUITIVELY HOW STRUCTURES WORKS Instinctively build and visualize systems from the ground up by connecting parts that act as foundations, beams, columns, bracing elements, connections, walls.
FREEDOM TO QUICKLY TEST OUT YOUR IDEAS Push and prod at your models to see whether they can take any external pressure without collapsing, embrace this trial and error experience to optimize your structural solutions.
A SCIENTIFICALLY VALIDATED TOOL Mola parts are designed with specific materials to realistically simulate the behaviors of structures, from single elements to plane frames, space structures, and even more complex systems.
145 MODULAR PIECES Includes a base grid, ground connectors, plate units, and a variety of spring-bar and connector pieces including the new splice connections; high-quality durable metals and magnets bind pieces together to create countless structures of your choice.
36-PAGE WORKBOOK (ENGLISH/PORTUGUESE) INCLUDED Continue your structural journey and go further with the studies presented in Mola 1; full of illustrated details to instigate experimentation with engineering principles such as grid, stayed column, trussed beam, geodesics, and more.
COMPACT TOOL The Mola Structural Model is compact, versatile and easy to use. All parts are connected through magnetism, and each one represents one or more elements of a real structure.
