Research Proposal :yin, perla
Living Architecture Project 3
OBJECTIVES
The group will emphasize on the output condition.
Output = the physical change in relation to the input
INFLUENCE
- The team will experiment with the idea of direct force vs. indirect force application, resulting in variations of result.
- (Needle Toy) influenced the beginning of the project by allowing a simple and clear understanding of forces and a way for documentation of the phenomena.
- How It Works:
1. Force is directly applied into an object.
2. Force is transfer through a series of parallel pins order in a rectangular configuration. This allows a visual output.
3. The output reflects a physical change on the original state of the object.
4. The state of the object is controlled; the output allows for a physical materialization of a direct force.
PRECEDENTS
Some of the precedents to look at include:
Wooden Mirror
Party Wall by N Architects
GOALS
Base on the idea of the needle toy we want to further investigated the ideas of expansion and flexibility to space, in which how space can be adjusted by human being. For example, how the wall in a room starts to react when the minimum require space per person is over-limited. Then the wall will start to justify in order to fulfill the minimum space requirement of one person. The same concept can also be incorporated into a smaller scale object, such as a screen door, with adjustable panel that has different degree of openness for different requirement.
Vision:
This panel may also be used in a larger scale as a wall panel which can start to create spaces base upon the degree of openness-- an enclosed space, open space or the divider to exterior or interior. When all these panels are connected to each other, how one panel react will also influence the adjacent one.
PROJECT DETAILS
TESTS & MATERIAL
The beginning of the exploration will involve small scale experimentation with different types of materials as well as playing with the various thicknesses.
** Different Flexinol wire thicknesses will be tested with the different materials in the research.
Material Thickness Results
-Plywood........................... 1/64, 1/32, 1/16…………………………?
-Plexi-glass……………… 1/64, 1/32………………………………..?
- Metal ……………………1/64………………………………………?
-Meshes…………………………1/32, 1/16………………………….?
-Fabric
The second approach to experiment No.1 is to consider a series of procedures that will allow for specific movements and its variations.
Ø Test 1.0: Cutting the material in a grid pattern will allow for the material to expand.
Ø Test 1.1: Cutting the material in a horizontal pattern will allow for movement Test 1.2: Cutting the material in a vertical pattern will allow for movement
Ø Test 1.3: Cutting the material at an angle will allow movement.
