Building on the feedback from the previous week’s as well as our new research, this week’s design incorporates an air gap that functions as the locking mechanism. This mechanism is also designed to block or direct light. There is also great consideration for the weight and sturdiness of each structure. Whilst improving the structural integrity of each half, the weight of the cooler side was kept to its lowest possible using minimal bracing.

Week 3-4 nutsack In this week, shredded grey board bits was stuck together with latex to combine the insulating property of grey board and the waterproofing quality of latex to create a new material similar to that of paper mache. Elasticity of latex was also considered in this experiment whereby the porosity increases when the device is stretched. Another property this device puts into play is latex’s to be casted into tubes to contain water and potentially dissipate heat as water moves around the two climates.

Iteration 1: Frame
(+) span a larger surface area + height (+) single connection allows some vertical flexibility
Iteration 2: Full Bags
(+) increase sideward span (-) adds some stability, though negligible
Iteration 3: Bags + Hollow Middle
(+) more tension+weight pulling structure downwards (-) unable to stand (top too heavy)
Iteration 4: Bags Alternating
(+) better stability than the previous, though negligible (-) still unable to stand
