INSTANT AARHUS Inflatable architecture
TRIANGLE STRUCTURE The first tests Our first meet with the inflatible architecture involved seing the plastic come alive and experimenting with/rehearsing folding tecnicues. Our group wanted to try and create a shape from standardized fragments. We chose isosceles triangles and built a small star imitating model from 16 pieces. The concept is that one can continue inserting pieces from different angles, and build bigger and more complex shapes.
INVERTED
PUPPET
How does it relate to the body? Changing and controlling your own space like a puppet master. Interior and Exterior will change with interaction of the human body and mind. You can change the room for a different experience. You must be inside the structure to be able to “use it� and experience it. The pointy corners are unreachable/unavailable space and will perhaps make you want to pull the strings and make an enclosure. This will change the atmosphere. The structure created from twenty similar triangles made to make standardized modules to be able to always add on to a structure, create different shapes and dynamic/ changeable spaces. We liked the pointy pyramid shape because of the contrast between the static pointy and the organic soft pulled-in. We chose to develop our first model to see how the triangles react to a shift of scales.
INSTANT CITY Instant Ibiza Neighbourhood 19-20 On this task we were supposed to build a 1:8 model of the Instant Ibiza City. We studied the site plan and arial photo to get an overview of our neighbourhoods whole composition and different parts. It consisted of 24 pieces divided into three basic shapes; cube, cylinder and ingloo. Instead of producing a big number of similars, we decided to make fewer and more varied shapes, and introduced the pyramid. This would give us experience with different shapes and tecniques.
