Ontological Model Iteration 1 A physical model that actively registers an exchange between a fluid and a fixed condition.

The interaction between the fluid ink and solid blocks in the water was studied in this first model.

Ontological Model Iteration 2 An exercise in breaking down the forces of nature into manageable conditions by disrupting the movement of the wave using different materials to discover which configuration of shapes are best at dispersing the wave kinetic energy.

Ontological Model Iteration 3 Iteration 2 was then controlled using organized filters and was transposed to two specific areas of Rum. The bay which is long and expansive acting as a collection point of deposits and the cliff which is a rougher area bearing the brunt of the wave energy.

Ontological Model Iteration 3 The topographies of these sites have a large impact on the movement of the water and the amassing of sediments. The bay seems to be a collector of sediments as the water calmly circles where as the cliff is rougher causing the sediments to wash in and out.

A sieve instrument was developed in or1 1der to autonomous4 ly capture sediments4 in the intertidal zone. This was done 5 by recreating some of the methods used during field work.

Floor Plan Movement 1:50 Movement of the sieves takes place along the harvest track where they are brought to the wet lab to be disassembled before being relocated to the air drying cabinet in the wall of the dry lab.

The protection tubes are rotated and moved along the maintenance track where they can be repaired or cleaned on the outdoor deck.

Section A-A 1:100

Section A-A 1:50 The wet-lab only has 2 walls so there is more of an interaction with the tide and the floor is the level of high tide . This is where the wet sieves are brought in from the collection track and are opened to allow the water to flow back into the sea while the sediments are left.

Section B-B 1:100

Section B-B 1:50 This is a cabinet similar to the box created for field work in Rum. The sediments are stored and air dried through channels here until they can be collected by boat and taken to the main lab for tests.

There are 2 doors to ensure a secure barrier against the elements. This part of the building is higher than the tide level to ensure everything is kept dry.
