Gathering

For the gathering project i am incorporating idea from my past two projects as well as ideas from the precedent study allocated to me, which is the Eden Project, by Nicholas Grimshaw in Cornwall, England.

For the project on sustenance I chose to look at water as it is vital to humans, over all other things. We had to make our market stalls easy to assemble/ disassemble, therefore I created a locking system for the joints of the structure, as shown below. I want to use a similar system in my new design for the assembly of the building.  I also looked at the journey of water which I have used to influence the layout of my drawings on the a1 sheet.

The Eden Project has a similar appearance of construction with many modular pieces interconnected to create this unique structure. I am to use these ideas to influence the design of my building.

Final Design-Sustenance water

This is my final design. I created a structure that is able to be easily assembled/ disassembled due to the interlocking joints that hold the structure together. At the back of the structure there is a pouch which holds the water. People would visit this stall to access water which would flow through the small gaps in the floor and then gather in area where water is able to be collected. The water following through the floor gives an idea that the floor is floating. As this structure has many joints it could be constructed differently each time it is assembled, therefore creating new forms and new areas for the water to flow/ be collected from.

Development- sustenance

I have began experimenting with canvas and how it could be used to store water.

I then came up with this structure that could be easily dismantled/assembled as well as being a changeable structure in terms or shape.

Testing the fabrics ability to hold water.

The fabric, when doubled over could hold water for long periods of time without leakage or absorption of water into the fabric.

Laser Cutting - Creating a Market stall based on a form of sustenance.e

I began by researching the many different forms of sustenance and chose water as it is a major source that humans need to be able to survive.

I then began exploring materials and the different forms that can be created out of these materials. Canvas is a material that can be used to carry water, therefore I explored how I could incorporate this into the design of my market stall as a way of storing water.

Completion of Site Models

Group One's final completion of our site model.

Detail- Augmenting Reality

 These are the processes I went though when creating a box for the concrete to set in. The end result is then shown below.
