Constructing Environment A03: Studio Journal(W1) Name:Minh (Fiona) Tieu Student Number: 643679 Chris Megowan started the tutorial with what's rather similar to our first constructing lecture, in which we are to create a structure out of paper aiming to hold a brick without collapsing. I initially started with circular shape by connecting the two end of the folded paper, to prevent any dent on the walls I've then decided to fold it to create a much like hexagonal shape. By adding a folded spiral at the centre evens out the force making it structure more stable. Follows by a group activity that encourages us to contemplate our ideas, using blocks to create the highest tower possible using the least resources. We initially thought of an igloo structure, which will eventually closes up yet the hollow centre may cause the structure to be unstable and collapse, having an object standing on top of the structure. So we've decided to add series of over lapping squares to make the structure more stable at the centre. Paper folding Igloo Approach Due to the time limits we decided to take the idea of having twisted squares on top of on another in our centre of our igloo as the main structure, so we demolished the igloo and started from scratch. We had 4 stands for our structure, with a square base. Sketch of structure
