Final Post for Roof Assignment




Here are some picture of the Arbel's and my final roof assignment. We were inspired by the clean grid of the Fehn roof. But since we had this not too large, not too small space, we felt we had more leeway than just the straight up grid. So we decided to create a not-so-uniform grid. Then we got the idea that we can pop that not-so-uniform grid out in more than one dimension.

Our system moves from simple to complex, a totally philosophically based move, not serendipity, you know. But, actually, we did notice as we were gluing that these tiles were drying in a pretty wonky fashion which could be fixed by holding the tiles in the exact spot we wanted them in as they dried. But, we made the conscious decision that the gradual movement of wonky to static (for loss of better word)worked well with our philosophy behind our design.

If given another iteration, I probably would vary the materials of the tiles. And, probably look at breaking the boundary of the wall--eg, we originally talked about tiles sticking into the walls/coming out of the walls.

We're quite pleased with the result especially since we can see how our system interacts with light through the photographer's light we used in our pictures.
