WAR AND STRENGTH
~the trojan war
One of the twelve Olympian gods in Greek mythology was Ares, the lord of war and passion for blood. Ares was often depicted as a tall, powerful person with an aggressive temperament who wore a spear, a shield, and a helmet. He often traveled with Eris, the goddess of discord and division, as his companion. Ares, the brother of Athena, Apollo, Artemis, and Hermes, was the son of Zeus and Hera.
In classical Greece, numerous folks worshiped Ares, especially soldiers, and warriors who looked to him for bravery and courage in warfare. As a representation of his wild and ferocious nature, he was also associated with certain animals like wolves and vultures. Ares was known as a ruthless and vicious warrior, yet he was also at times seen as a guardian of cities and the people who lived in them.
The God of power and compassion, Hercules, was one of his strongest foes. Hercules was tasked with bringing the terrifying Erymanthian Boar from Mount Erymanthos, Peloponnese, Greece, alive. As a result, while on his search, he ran across Ares. Since Hercules killed his son Kyknos, Ares challenged him to a fight. In the end, Ares was believed to be immortal, thus despite driving him away and defeating him, Hercules was unable to kill him.
Ares was a god of strategy and planning in addition to pure fire. Ares might even be viewed in this manner as a symbol of the importance of rigorous planning and execution in accomplishing one's ambitions.

0.1- Ares
God Zeus and Goddess Hera being the mother of the great God of War Ares, shows both of his parents weren't fond of him. He being the war god was regarded as a coward as well as a murderer who sheds blood.
Ares representing fire, was an appealing handsome man with and spear in his hand and his throne on Mount Olympus made of human skin showing his vulnerability. One thing about him, he was recognized
One of the greatest incidences of Ares is the Trojan fight with Hercules. Despite being an immortal divinity, he was defeated by Hercules.
In duel and nearly died when two enormous creatures forced him into a jar. He received no sympathy from his father Zeus after a Trojan War hero injured him.
story diagramming
BONE SYSTEM
By choosing the bone system is tried to show and represent the anger of the God Ares. I wanted to bring two geometric shapes together to show how both of them would collide and show explosion. This is bone mechanical system is purely influenced form the war between God Ares and Hercules, where the two great men show their power and strength through masculinity.
These shapes here are the basic cells of the whole structure built. The sides of the frames made are rectangular and the circles are the small nuts and the media through which all attachments are done. The cameo shape plays an important role in thr primary roatation of the two grometric forms.
THE GEOMETRIC SHAPES
The shapes that I chose for the collision or the representation of my war was a square and a triangle. The two equally representing Ares and Hercules.
THE ROD
The rod has been used in the system to connect the follower and the geometrical shapes on top, so that the auxiliary motion is there.
THE CAM
The cam supports the rotary motion of the shapes floating on top through the follower. It fully rotates until it comes to its original position.
THE FLAT FOLLOWER
The rods connecting to the cam so that they can hold to the structure firmly. It has been used at places in the bone system structure.
experimentation
the three diagrams underneath are trying to depict the different angles through which the model can be witnessed. The different views and the drawings give us a brief that how the model exactly works when seen from a naked eye
Is an old textile factory in stockholm’s old industrial neighborhood hammarby sjöstad that was transformed into a 25,000 square meter office building by tengbom architects. tengbom architects‘ aim was to create a new joint expression for the building as a whole, so they preserved the brick façade and carefully renovated the building. the architects added a five-story mass timber frame extension, covered with a corten steel façade to the original 1928 brick building.
This representation is the line drawings of the kovements of thr two geometrical shapes when colliding together.
geometry and effect
Line drawings of how the shapes move.
TRIKABRIKEN
The emotive-ness that would describe my structure would be when a person walks by it will start moving and clap into one another. The clap sound that would come out would be like a two wooden sticks banging together when someone is fighting. This is how my structure relates to the fight between Hercules and Ares.
The two variations that I toom into consideration are these, where the first one shows how the two geometric shapes can be handeled with the help of one rod only. The other one shows how two circular mecano structure can be put perpendicularly and they can be used as a medium to show the representation of the structure.
the dimensions of the structure is 200mm x 300mm x 50mm
The orange part in the axonometric diagram despicts the motor. The motor will be operated through batteries, to convey the emotive meaning of the structure.
variation and mechanism
The movement of the two geometris will be controlled by a small motor. The motoe will help the structure to show result faster and smoother so that no hand is required.
The site of the AMDC that I have chosen is area between the two bihg poles just infront of the open study area. I think this site is best for my project as it will nring out more attention. The structure being right infront will grab attention also because of thr screen present there.
