Ok seriously, I need to move away from it.
I know.
Initial sketches of the addressing basic site conditions, form and massing.
The first idea with circular glass panels and LED backlighting scrapped.
Two different systems that are working against each other, no good.
Was imagining different panel types as well.
The sketch section at the bottom is still something I am working towards.
Working towards making this sectional drawing a reality.
Would like to have the shading element conform to the shifting diagrid and create some form of dynamism.
More updated drawings of what the program is going to be within my head.
More ETFE; yay.
The beginnings of what my component may look like.
ETFE can be applied in single and double layers.
I am also imagining some sort of adjustable screening between the two layers of ETFE bubbles.
Also looking to play with patterning and treatment of the actual ETFE panels to create different shading effects in various areas.
This is done to focus attention on specific locations within the building.
Laser cut the diagrid frame to get an idea of what the overall size of the component model will look like.
Experimented with making the mold for vacuum forming the ETFE bubble panels.
I am quite satisfied with how it turned out; it should work.
Need to further develop the connections between the ETFE component and diagrid structure.
One thing I am worried about is the scale, did I choose the wrong scale?
I almost feel that 1:10 scale will not let me go as detailed as I would like to with the connections.
However, if I step up to 1:5, then a single diagrid would be about 48cm by 32cm and the overall effect of the wall system would be lost, in my opinion.
The mold.
Test vacuum form.
Vacuum form on diagrid frame.
Go to work so far. I wonder how the two bubble conditions on the PTFE panels are going to be connected in the model. With respect to the scale issue just keep in mind that you should consider what will be displayed in tandem with the electronic imagery in the PDF. I suspect many of the students in the studio will be facing the same problem. What I suggest you do is assess what will be showcased in the physical model and see if any of it is overlapping or is better depicted in the digital model.
