HOW TO STABILIZE THE FORM OF FRAME OBSERVATION I How to stabilize the form of frame? ISSUE I Structural Strategy of stabilizing a square frame. This work is done with Joanna, Phebe, Sharon
4 strips are connected with 4 pins to form a square frame with hinge joint. The frame is unstable as it transforms from a square to a parrallelgram when forces are added. This exercsie then tries to find ways to stablize the frame. Through the exercise we found out that Rigid Joint (1,5), Rigid Infill (or Stressed Skin 4), Diagonal Bracing (2,3) are all possible stablizaiton types.
E1-1 I STABILIZATION
Methods
1. Use additional pins to strenthen the joints
2. Diagonal bracing
3. Connect the corners with tracing papers to prevent it from being pulled out
4. Add a paper panel
5. Wrap the corners with tracing papers

RIGID FRAME WITH TRUE WOOD JOINT OPERATION I How to form a rigid frame with true wood joint? ISSUE I Structure Rigidity of a Square/Rectangular frame, True Wood Joint Making. GROUP I No.13(Li, Alex Kelvin/Li, Nan/Lo, Wai)

The Output
E1-2 I RIGID FRAME WITH WOOD JOINT
Machines and Tools used and Reflection
Total of 12 mortise and tenons joints are used. They are not the same. There are 2 types of joints, one connect the brace with the batten, one conncet 2 battens. The most time consuming part is to connect all the tenon and mortice because the size of them don’t fit during the cutting process, so we had to grind them carefully to fit together.

FROM PLANAR FRAME TO 3D FRAME OPERATION I FROM A PLANAR FRAME TO A 3D FRAME ISSUE I 3D planning for True Wood Joints, Hierarchy of Planes This work is done with other 3 groups together.
Assigned assembly type: 4 frames connected
Preparation Draw marks on certain batten wood for drilling holes. Then prepare short round wooden stick as pegs.
E1-3 I FROM PLANAR FRAME TO 3D FRAME
Assembly Use hammer to put the pegs into the holes and therefore connect the two planar frames together. Then we can get a 3D frame, as shown below.

IV REFLECTION trip & course
REFLECTION ARCH 2422
During this semester, the course provided the basics of construction, material, and building details. I am really happy that throughout the assignments and making this booklet, I have gained the knowledge of expression of the bricks which eads to various design intention. It means that by means of applying the variety of the constructional techniques, more innovated design could be explored. In addition, the content of the course pushed me one more step to experience different machine and tool use, and of course basic skills of using several desigh-related softwares. Moreover, contected to studio project, this course also helps a lot in terms of the design process as well as the most challanging part, constrction issue. Although we defintely encountered tons of learning barriers during this semester, we still conquered it and learned not only the acadamic knowledge but also the time management ability, the development of thinking process and so on. Thus, thanks to this course and Pro. Zhu, we grow up a lot.
