Whwn carrying out the experiment, i looked for materials with different thermal conductivity to see how it would affect the enviroment of the house. not much change here although in origional house it will be warmer by a margin than with the new material.
The Thermal study
SENIOR CRITS
THE CRIT
the main focus or starting point for this project was the conceptof expansion and compression. This student started making miniture models shown on the the first page to explore this idea and how to create space within them. this concept developed to the deeper or further understanding of how the action of folding itself is a form of repetition. To take it to a higher level understanding, this concept of expansion and compression was simplified by just taking regular shapes which were the triangles and place them together and repeating the pattern or the shape. the strength with this project was really the emphasis on folds and how they can be manipulated to to create space and have it feel as if it has beem compresssed and expanded. the weakness i found however was that a lot of attenton was paid on the the exterior of the building that on the inside the concept was not as strong and the spacial qualities of the building were not far thought of. However it is very interesting how light enters the building and the atmosphere that is created.
