• Now we understand what the material is capable of doing • The models now have a caracter, as Dr. Amr said “How it says something, it has a message” • We introduced an additional material to the cardboard, which is the cables. Yet, we had some problems with this model.
EXPLORATION OF TECHTONIC LANGUAGES CARDBOARD EDITION
How is was related to previous phases: • Now we are capable of integrating phenomenology with the structrual model • For the arches we went back to the idea of the evolution of our phenomenological experiance • How spirituality intersects with their everyday life. • 1The idea of layering from one of my contextual models • How we wanted to represent the spirituality by the play of light from the openings inbetween the different units in the main arch
CABLES & ARCH
Where to concept of the intersection of arches came from: • Here is where the idea of the embodied spirituality in the everyday life started • We figured that a single arch would not be enough to represent the spirituality • We needed different units to represent this The feedback: • They could actually see what we were talking about • We need to come up with a one sentence thematic statment that conclude our ideas for us to use in the upcoming phases • We needed it to be more of a structural model not an art Things we need to figure for the final model: • Start to connect them together at the top and distribute the load • We need: footing, tie beams, and to add something for it to be an actual journey explaining the whole experiance
INTERSECTION OF ARCHES PRT. I
Things to take care of: • It is actually a diagrid structure not cables. • The arch needs bracing, tie beams, and the slits to be angled so it would be stronger.
