Prototype 2

squirming coils

prototype 1: plastic tubing and resin

resin did not work out so hot
reinforcing with the tubing with steel wire gave a much better result

close up of a single component

components are stacked to create volumes within the structure

1,000 Pieces of Concrete

Formwork for the formwork for the concrete peices.















Pouring rubber material into initial formworks.















SUCCESS!!! Hardened rubber ready to be used for casting concrete.

Light Detail

PRECARIOUS/adjective

1. not securely held or in position;dangerously likely to fall or collapse.

2. dependent on chance; uncertain.

I'm using heat shrink tubing and wooden pegs to connect a family of wooden shapes. The family of shapes are the result of cutting a specific shape and no shard shall be wasted. The quality I'm after is precarious.

A precarious structural system...no comment.

Structural Pavilion: in-progress

creating spaces using form-work

add dowels to create structure

remove form-work

Connections in Plastic

Plastic can be manipulated to take on almost any shape. This iteration explored integrating the connection system within the shape.

This iteration explored the connection system as a secondary element creating spans.

This most recent iteration refined the connection system and explored a better shape for connection purpose.

Rockite Swirls

structural studies of spackle

striations of spackle creates a density that is potentially structural

expantion of the striations allows for a more permeable wall
