Precedent


This is my precedent for the twig project. I thought of a fan-like structure and the twigs would support the folds.

Better designs for the twigs

I thought that I could weave the twigs through the openings in the paper. I tried larger squares and smaller holes that were the same across the folds.

Next...

I thought that I could add holes that would let you see through the paper to the other side.

Twig process

This was my twig project. I wanted to make it dark at the bottom, but when I actually made it it looked better and like a mini forest.

Architecture 2030

I thought that the lecture was interesting in how his started out with asking 'If we were fish'. I agree that the human race is like a storm in that we destroy almost everything we touch. Most times though we rebuild what was there. Architecture 2030 is a blueprint. It isn't how we make things sustainable, but why. It's knowing about the building codes and finding a way to change them to make it so the buildings in 2030 will use absolutely no carbon based products. He also talked about if we take something sustainable from the environment we need to be able to give that back. Like putting solar panels on the roof and using rain water for restroom water.

Twig Issues

My group talked about how we need to make sure that the precedent related to our project. Not look exactly like it, but take some thing from it like form or color. Also we talked about the placement of the twigs. Does the twig have an exact place or are they just stuck in there? Another thing was the overall size of the twigs in relationship to the rest of the project. Are the twigs too big? Small? Maybe the paper needs to be a different size or you need to use a different binding agent.

Cross Contour

This was a little complicated because it made you look at the chair and which directions it was flowing in.
