Using strips as a base element allows great opportunity for relationships and pathways between the lines. They have the ability to change direction, reconnect to where they started, move through different parameters and be influenced by surrounding fields. Loop_3 by Co-de-iT architects particularly employs the idea of strips looping back around itself, gravitating back to a central pull, and bending around pulled out points. It seems as if there are pressure points or gravitational pulls which influence the direction of the curves.
2
Strips and folding might also be used as a definition of surface. In Silico’s Curved Folding Pavilion applies the idea of individually manufactured strips which fit together neatly along their sides to form an overall surface.
3
The Archepelago Pavilion lends itself somewhat to In Silico’s approach, where it uses individual strips to make up a surface. Differently however, the strips create a smooth finish and almost seamless surface of the structure. It is as if strips and folding is used to panel the piped nature of the pavilion.

I think there is something very interesting about the idea of densities. It suggests a variation in activity, where some parts may be concentrated and others less dynamic. All are important to achieve a well balanced atmosphere, particularly at Ceres, where there is a great need for simple open space, to accommodate for students, animals, and general agricultural work. It is also important, to have a hub of activity, similar to the fruit market area, where there is a sense of community and mutual appreciation of what is achieved.

INITIAL PROPOSAL When I visited Ceres, I noticed that there were little systems across the fields, separated into working cells. For example, the chicken coop had its own private quarters, next to the vege patch where each bed was neatly cropped and separated into vegetable type. There is an obvious translation between garden bed and fruit stall box, between chicken and free range eggs, where Ceres participate in all of the stages mainting the animals and site. They are incredibly proficient and self-suficient in there ways. My proposal is a chicken / garden feeder / water dispenser suit that is worn on the body, a uniform for workers while carrying out daily tasks. I realise it is a very radical idea, however one of my strongest impressions of Ceres is that it is all incredibly labour intensive. I think that the human connection to the crops and animals is very important, so I would not want to remove them, but potentially create a feeding uniform, which is more efficient. Because of the small scale, responding only to a human body, the suit has the potential to be manually operated.
