THE SITE MAEKLONG RAILWAY MARKET

Bangkok, Samut Sakhon Province, Thailand

TO ( Ba nl a e m

Maeklong- Banlaem Line Construction:1905 Purpose: Bring goods and produce to Central Bangkok to deal with the demands of the fast growing urban capital.

Run By: SRT (State Railway of Thailand)

The market is a strictly local produce market, and has not been affected by the site becoming a significant tourist attraction. The market has existed on the site long before the railway. The railway was constructed through the site, and the marker has adapted to this change. As the train passes through 6 times a day, the market transforms, in order to get the train through.

The site is constantly ‘dynamic, and requires a physical and spatial transformation due to the conditions on site.

Train Schedule: Maeklong - Banlaem: 6:20 - 8:00 10:20 - 12:00 14:30 - 16:12 Banlaem - Maeklong: 8:05 - 9:50 12:05 - 13:45 16:40 - 18:22

FORMAL REFERENCES AND INSPIRATION

Initial References that started early research into Field Behaviour Forces Control Using External Forces to Create Form (Magnets) Possible Deformation Over Time With Sticks - Phase Changing Glued Profiles - Without Phase Changing Forces

IRON FILINGS & CLAY MIXTURE

GLASS TUBES

Due to Reaction to Magnets A mixture of iron filings and clay, extruded using a device with very big strong magnets that are also electrified. The material is very dense liquid so at the end it sets as if its imitating the magnetic field.

Due to Reaction to Heat Aim to use a material that reacts to/softens to become mouldable and hardens to keep specified form.

WHAT IS SEM IMAGERY ?

SEM is a Scanning Electron Microscope, which can take very magnified images of organisms in very high resolution. The scan is usually grayscale. The images from this reference are later enhanced in Photoshop by selecting the shades of gray inside the scanned image.

LINEAR ACTUATORS CASE STUDY 1 Image of Fabrication

Limitations while Applying to the Aims of The Device Design MEGAFACES PAVILION - Asif Khan

How Does it Work ?

3D Scanned faces are translated to a wall of telescoping linear actuators, which then move accordingly to recreate the data of the exterior wall of the pavilion.

Each actuator has a light bulb at the top which adds depth to the image.

What is the Limitation ?

This system would perfectly work, yet the motion would be very slow because of the rotation inside telescoping actuator.

Limitation The speed of the retraction. The mechanism is very slow, which wouldn’t work successfully at the site, even though the mechanism itself is successful for the rest of the constraints. Additionally, it would need a very expensive motored infrastructure to function, which is an issue but also limits the interaction of people with the element. The mechanism should be able to be used more interactively and therefore should be more manual.

Fabric in Between Polypropylene Pieces

The Membrane - Expanded

NT

Conclusion: The membrane would work successfully with the fabric addition, yet it needs to be cut perfectly precisely, which failed in this fabrication. This limited the horizontal expansion on top.

This method could be applied to any sheet material as long as the pattern is kept, there could possibly be different materials inside some panels to create different light effects.

LINEAR ACTUATORS CASE STUDY 2 Image of Fabrication

Limitations while Applying to the Aims of The Device Design TRANSFORM Table by MIT Tangible Media Group

How Does it Work ?

The table transforms using an array simple mechanical linear actuators (right) that have an approximate range of 10-15 cm. Each actuator is connected to a panel from where it processes the data from the computer to inform the system. The motion of the linear actuators is carried to the pins through mechanical linkages.

What is the Limitation ?

The pieces cannot move further than the limit of the actuator, which creates an issue when trying to crate a rise of 2.5 m, as a 2.5 m long actuator would not be possible to use and place.
