DO MORE WITH LESS
Based on the need to propose project strategies from the optimisation of material, we propose through this exercise to explore the possibilities of design starting from the material restrictions.
In other words: material restrictions as a trigger for the project.
What to do?
You have to build the tallest possible structure using a 700x500x5mm sheet of board.
Explore and plan solutions using drawings and diagrams.
You can make as many attempts as necessary.
Plan an present the subdivision into pieces and ensemble system
What are the conditions?
The structure must be built using only one 700x500x5mm foam board sheet.
The structure must be stable and self-supporting. With a horizontal hourly oscillation of less than 1/10 of the height, and sufficiently rigid to withstand transportation and movement.
It must be built by assembled and/or simply supported pieces, without using glues (except to reinforce some joints).
What should be delivered?
1. The Physical model. You should delivery the model at room 511
2. Hand Book (DIN A4) including:
2.1. At least 3 photos of the final model: one of them showing the height of the model (tape measure)
2.2. Drawings and diagrams of:
- Panel with the division into pieces (name or code of the pieces)
-Catalogue of the pieces (name or code + quantity + figure, measurements) without scale.
- Schemes and diagrams of assembly (without scale)
- Axonometric scheme with general measures (height, width, length)
2.3. Photos of the process and sketches
On the top of the handbook sheet you have to write:
