WEEK 1
Studio task 1.In the group of 3-‐4 build a tower as high as possible and the tower must be able to accommodate the object that provide by tutor. 2. The prepara)on: this idea comes form Colosseo. start with the base that build with concrete, in order to give us a stable founda)on. The shape provide enough space for the object.
3. our group start it over. This )me we follow the same idea and structure, but use different material. (running out of concrete)
4. Our group built up to about 40cm tall. Unfortunately, we did not build a tower as required. Because we were trying to figure out how to create a path(or a door) for the object to go through. First we tried to build like the picture shown below, but we
end up with collapse and the )me is up. So we just stopped there .
This one is similar to my original thought. Build as high as possible The structure like this is not easy to collapse As they remove the bricks, we could know this is a stable structure, because they can remove most of the bricks without collapse.
The door they built is what are we trying to do.
WEEK 2 3 types of joints Fixed joint As known as can)lever
Roller joint if you place an object on this roller, the object will move horizontally
Pin joint
Efficiency of materials
STRENGTH Such as steel stronger than concrete
STIFFNESS V FLEXIBLE Plas)c V rubber
Studio task Use the balsa which was cut into 40 pieces. In the group 3-‐4, build a stable tower tall enough to reach the ceiling. 1. Our group member has made a
mistake in cu`ng the balsa, so the balsa get thin and flexible
2. We use the most stable structure – triangle to build the tower
3. We bond each of the individual triangles together, in order to make the tower as tall as possible.
4. Our group’s tower is about 195cm but because of the material, the tower keeps falling down.
5. We add some more brace on the bofom trying to make it stand by itself and more stable
The tower form other groups This is stable and well structured Also tall enough to reach the ceiling
This is interes)ng, because they just bond balsa as tall as they can. it is not a part of the structure, but this is also tall enough to reach the ceiling.
