Research on structure and joint typology by WIKI house’s building system
DAY 1: MONDAY Introduction Morning:
Introduction by WIKI house
Afternoon:
Initial Sketches First models Discussion

FIRST PASS

Having been introduced to the project in the morning, by the afternoon the team started by looking into the WIKI house system and thinking about how that could be applied to the making of a screen and bench. Making conecptual sketches and models and then discussing them was where day one ended.

INITIAL DESIGNS 1. First ideas of bench/screen 2. Models to test 3D 3. Iterations of ideas 4. Refinement and discussion

SCREEN DEVELOPMENT 1. Using a cut pattern to make a test model 2 Minimizing material from a 4x8 sheet 3. Structural beam 4. Top view of beam/joint system 5. Bare structure without front faces
11
TESTING BENCH STRUCTURE Finding a solution for the structure of the bench that would leave the top plane flat for sitting on, but would use an integrated structure system.
12
TESTING SCREEN STRUCTURE Using the same principle, several different sizes and variations were tested to see the deflection/flexibility and structural integrity of each.
13
Research on structure and joint typology
DAY 3: WEDNESDAY Testing Design Morning:
Joints design and development Testing joints
Afternoon:
Preparation on CNC, sketchup, CAD files Joints design refining
14
WORKING ON JOINTS 1 Bandsaw to make diagonal cut 2. Sanding inside hole 3. Making a dowel hole 4. Jigsaw an indentation in surface

Each individual sheet takes 40 minutes to 1 hour to be cut. The cutting hours might vary depending on various factors. Therefore the estimation time of 3 sheets of CNC cutting is 3 hours. The assembly for both is very quick and with multiple people should take less than 1 hour of time.
