Span
Feb - Mar 2016 | Studio: Foundation II | Partner Project with Scarlet Tong
To design and create a four-feet span wood construction that requires both structural performance and aesthetic qualities.
My partner and I focused on the aesthetic of illusion through a spiraling prism and the view within the tunnel as well as the structural qualities of the joints between sub-assemblies. Through this project, we learned to develop appropriate joints and consider the order of assembly, which becomes clear when developing and editing the construction drawing set. Another aspect considered was to be economic with the 8 board feet wood provided. So most of the span is frame-like except for the top triangular cross.
