At last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!not to mention the whole day printing for ts...not doing too well with computers lately.
So here are the three views/options.My next drawings are going to be a lot cleaner though...photoshop renders from snapshots..Not sure I'm very fond of the renders ...very very slow and still look like collages in the end. But they look ok on the blog!

3d model

Thu, 15 Jun 2006 18:38:29 +0000

quick snapshots of how the model is going.will be closed completely by tomorrow.

thin paper 25g

Mon, 12 Jun 2006 21:59:58 +0000

again QUANTITY/DENSITY/GEOMETRY...

Mon, 12 Jun 2006 18:12:32 +0000

ANOTHER LAYOUT...will fill them with diagrams and more specifications but first I want to have all the photos done and lay them out

DEVELOPMENTS

DEVELOPMENTS OF THE LIGHTS TESTS....ITS HOT OUTSIDE AND INSIDE!!!!

live edge ligh tests

Sun, 11 Jun 2006 22:32:25 +0000

intensity varying on change in peeling away reflctive surface
intensity not vaying on change in curvature.
many more light tests on the way.

catalogue

one more on its way...my computer is going crazy...starts beeping then has to stay off for an hour...just the right day to start doing that!long night ahead...

from today's tutorial...

Mon, 05 Jun 2006 22:15:07 +0000

will be slightly modified for friday, more layers and 'moveable' version of plan.

two spaces:
A light source
B light borrowing

variable factors:
1 number of layers
2 distance between layers

actions:
SEPARATING
PEELING
SLIDING
COMPRESSING
SPREADING

future layouts

model in progress...

Thu, 25 May 2006 01:01:51 +0000

some quick rhino snapshots to show where I am...I tried every optionpossible to try and find the fasted way of giving shape to the layers...in the end resolved to building the surfaces by sweeping about 8 section curves modified one by one...this to get the main surfaces right then the others will all be offset...its coming together
snapshots of the main layers that fit into each other and how the outer surface flattens out . Was thinking of something a more fragmented but I 'll have to work with this to keep it simple and eventually complicate it later on.

Organizing portfolio for TS, updating sheets:
Three categories:
LIGHT_concepts and light tests
MATERIALS_structure of building and qualities of materials
LIGHT BORROWING DEVICES_documentation of existing examples and design/tests for my building

Sun, 21 May 2006 19:17:54 +0000

section of lecture/projection events hall.
two slightly different ones from different ends of the hall.
plan will follow with indication of section lines.then TS sheets, plans and sections took a lot longer than they should have...

loads of layers...

Sat, 20 May 2006 21:09:02 +0000

The 3d at the moment is a literal extrusion of the section, but would like to have more of a 'twist' to it as it is beeing peeled away irregularly.
The material acts with the similar properties of a pile of paper being gently bended. a few of the layers are rigid, creating the structure that the rest of the materials leans on.
Light conditions are determined by the borrowing from the building below, the sun and between adjacent spaces.
In some cases the spaces themselves are created by the peeling away of layers and the amount of these determines how much light seeps through.
Other sections with plan will be posted by tonight.
