MATERIAL PERFORMANCE

As we enter the 21st centur y, the prominence of pursuing unconventional methods in design has only increased. The shif t away from traditional means has opened a breath of oppor tunit y and experimentation par ticularly in hand with the development of technological algorithmic design. What was previously unat tainable, now with the evolution of technology we are able to create many complex geometries that follow a systematic algorithm def ined by a logical sequence.

By re - evaluating a given material, and seeking to discover unconventional methods of its t ypical usage; opens us to a whole new realm of design potential seeking to greater solutions to design issues that we face in the modern day.

To explore these new developments a push towards experimentation with materials has gained traction pushing unconventional means to create peformative ef fec ts. This was explored in Andrew Kudless’ P Wall which explored a casting technique know as ‘reverse -hanging’. This explored the

Plaster of Paris used for casting base.

Soil form nearby creek / Yarra River collec ted to add to plaster mix ture.

Fine soil sif ted into plaster mix ture for a more natural colouration.

Fine bark chips sif ted into plaster mix ture for a more natural tex tural ef fec t.

Water added to plaster to bind mix ture at 1:2 ratio for optimal strength.

Water and plaster mix ture stirred to combine.

Once prop erly mixed, the chemical reac tion immediately initiates the dr ying process and work abilit y time is limited to approx . 20 minutes.

Work ing quick ly plaster is p oured over mould.

Once p oured, plaster is spread manually to create variation in thick ness according to sp ecif ication of the design.

Sur face spread as smoothly as p ossible to resemble the app earance of a rock . Slight imp er fec tions can later be sanded with sandpap er to create smooth f inish.

Edges deliberately over- p oured to ensure ma ximum cast sur face is cast. E xcess p oured plaster can later be carefully cracked of f and sandpap ered down to replicate the sp ecif ications of the digitally generated design.

Cast protot yp es lef t to dr y for 24 hours to ensure it has fully dried and has obtained ma ximum strength before removed and p eeled away from cast base.

c1 DESIGN CONCEPT GR ASSHOPPER REFINEMENT

Widely open internal condition lacks various zones for differnt activity. Form consists of half vaults around form edge and do not provid internal spatial seperation.

Too many vault extrusions reuslt in a very low ceiling height to accomodate for each base. As a results too large a contrast Between open internal condition and ‘burrow’ zone.

94

detailed design

Lack of spatial continuity within Habitat. Aiming for spatial seperation Between zones without creating an explicit division.

Angle of entrance opening tilted Upwards becoming contradictory to providing shelter and protection from predators.

Single vault did not create an Adequate division between internal spatial zones.

Ver tically stretched vaults to create a more substantial volumous internal condition.

Lack of vault extrusion resulted in low vaults and ceiling.

Lack of seperation between open Shelter and enclosed burrows.

Disruption of smooth vaulted form by harsh jaggard edges.

Lack of variaiton between Internal spaces. Evenly heighted vaults that become the ceiing do not provide desired spatial variation in seperate zones.

However skews sunbaking zone to an overly steep angle for out client to comfor tably climb then lay.

Too flat a form moving away from ‘rock’ into a more flat surface not Integrating itself into context. As a result predators may step on it.

C2 TECTONIC ELEMENTS & PROTOTYPES MATERIAL EXPLOR ATION - CL AY

Our intention was to clay for our f inal model and pour a slip clay mix ture into our CNC milled mold however, af ter undergoing research and consultation with Nor thcote Pot ter y, it was unfor tunately determined that being constrained to a 2 week time frame, was an inadequate amount of time to allow clay to fully dr y then to f ire in a k iln. Ultimately this was a loss to our projec t as f ired clay would have provided a much stronger unit bet ter fabricated to resist harsh outdoor conditions. We still however explored with clay as a material to explore its potential.

106

STEP ONE

White dr y coloured clay used and molded over 3D printed model. Model covered in gladwrap for ease of removal.

Clay molded over 3D printed form. Form thick ness variation created by hand creating deep er / thinner tolerances in various areas as according to diagramatic def inition.

STEP THREE

STEP FOUR

Tex tured canvas material is gently imprinted into clay to achieve rusticated naturalit y to resemble a rock .

Initial method of fabricating form was to p our plaster mix ture onto a primar y cast then to squish bet ween t wo 3D printed plates. Unfor tunately we realised the molds did not align.

Instead we used one of the templates and hand molded the form around the 3D printed model. Mold covered with fabric for ease of removal and to also create a more rusticated tex ture into the unit.

Mold lef t to dr y in form -work (3D printed model) then ex trac ted and fabric carefully also removed.

Plaster of Paris used for casting base. Water added to dr y plaster mix ture at a 1:2 (water :plaster) ratio for ma ximal strength.

H Grade Polyst yrene was slightly shaved down so that t wo formwork comp onent s f it p er fec tly together.

Polyst yrene formwork was covered in vaseline to allow for eas y removal of cast once dr y.

Originally we intended to bind t wo formwork pieces together however the correc t ratio plaster mix ture was a lit tle too thick to p our so instead we p oured the mix ture into a singular side of the formwork .

Once f illed we got the other piece of formwork and pressed it into place.

Formwork tightly closed to achieve exac t grasshopp er def ined form with excess plaster mix ture squeezed out the edges.

As acetone dissolved the p olyst yrene a stick y residue was lef t.

Once bulk of formwork had dissolved, excess p olyst yrene manually removed from plaster cast.

L ast residue of p olyst yrene removed by hand from plaster cast.

Cast is gently washed in soapy water to remove greas y vaseline residue used to cast mold.

Acetone used p olyst yrene to formwork .

Foam and p olyst yrene of fcut s used to f ill base of planter to reduce weight load.

Rock s collec ted and used to help represent and indicate the integration of our design into a surrounding natural contex t.

Plants sourced to resemble ‘dr y native grasses’ the we aim to integrate into our design.

Af ter the bulk of the planter being f illed with foam, a top layer of soil was coated to resemble the natural op en ground of our intended site contex t.

Planter sparely f illed with rock and plant s creating contex t for our mold.

Cast unit placed into planter and as p er intended, vault s were planted with native grasses to integrate our design into the natural contex t.
