Our first class charette was on April 6. Everyone came in with study models of their own personal "cardboard pipe dream" We discussed what we thought were the strongest parts of each and what were the weakest. Some envisioned the structure to be organic and light while others saw it as a mass that was carved into. At the end of our first meeting there were still disagreements as to what direction the project should go in. We decided it was important to continue our material studies and see what limitations we had and what these tubes are capable of before making a final decision on what we wanted to create.
Presentation of initial ideas unveiled in an energetic in class discussion.
The "hand/canopy" solution challenges what might be possible and gravity and looks exciting.
A solution taps into the mass of the tubes to build an undulating structure.
Each tube in this design points to a different view of the city, and doubles as a jungle gym. Can it be build strong enough?
Another massing solution with vertical tubes, fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle.
A "lounge chair" design utilizing another massing scheme.
