Here are some pictures of mine and Ari’s roof exercise. The gap in the ceiling is where the trees are meant to come out of. Our original inspiration was the Sverre Fehn model: we both found the grid idea for the roof very attractive. But then we started thinking more loosely about how it would be interesting if each square in the grid was actually a tile. Finally we began thinking about how it would be interesting if these tiles hung from the beams at the top at different heights and overlapped a little.
We used Balsa wood dowels for the beams and hung our panels off of these with paper clips. Our initial challenge was that in plan view, the panels didn’t really want to hang in perpendicular or parallel fashion (they were all hanging at weird angels to each other). Eventually we fixed this by super gluing the paper clips in place. In elevation view they hang at strange angles sometimes but we liked this effect and decided it shouldn’t be “fixed.”
