Reworked Poster of my final Presentation

I visited the Wereldmuseum in Leiden. It was quite a experiencing as the museum displays art and artistic objects from all over the world, showing incredible unique piece from a lot of different cultures.

My final presentation for Q2!

Finally building the 1:1 detail.

Final black-painted 1:10 grid

I like this picture a lot. It shows my handmade 1:10 maquette right before I am spray painting it black. The contrast in the spraying room is so high with the black in white it almost looks like a render.

For the first iteration of my handmade 1:10 model I planned with a white structure, which I ultimately decided against, although it looks very interesting.

While I was waiting for the paint on the pipes to dry, I started to built my 1:10 model. It was quite difficult to make the construction symmetrical, but I think the idea to work in layers made this possible in the end. I am quite happy with the result, the grid structure took my approximately 6h to make.

The spray painted pipes look amazing! I left the pipes at the university to let them dry for a long time. Now I just have to get the last charge of connectors, paint the felt and my 1:1 Model is ready to go.

The very simple construction I built to spray paint the pipes more effective was quite a success!! I especially like the light shining through the pipes. I am super excited how it will turn out after the paint has dried!

3D-printing the next charge of connectors. I was quite happy with this result, although one of the had a very distorted pin. Mistakes can happen, they are just part of the journey :)

I tested to spray paint some of the aluminium pipes, but I weren't satisfied with the products. I was using too much spray for just a few pipes, also when the paint dried it sticked to the cardboard and left marks on the pipes. I have to implement some sort of holder to paint the pipes more effectively.

Still cutting the aluminium pipes to get all the pieces. I need for my 1:1 model 36 pipes in total and the 2 meter long pipes aren't that really handy. Luckily I finished them all yesterday. I really like the metal gloss of the pipes when they lay next to each other.

I finally finished and printed my 4th iteration of the connector. It features now a thicker shell and some sort of infill grid that stablizes it more. I am quite happy with the result, very excited to built the 1:1 Model now!

This graphic shows the percentage of the mass of the material in a single cube frame in percent. The structure itself is very lightweight and just weighs about 1,59kg. Interestingly the most percent of the mass used is the MDF with 56% and a total mass of 0.896kg. In case of Landfill it is also responsible for 42% of the total CO2-Emissions from a single cube. The second most percentage of mass is non surprisingly aluminium with 36%, responsible for 36% of the total CO2-Emissions. While the felt made out of recycled PET makes just 4% of the total mass of the cube, it is responsible for 14% of its total CO2-Emissions. Here I need definitely adjust in terms of materiality.

MODULARITY - The final frame cube and construction I want to make for the final presentation. On the left side you can see how the connectors work in connecting the pipes in every corner. The middle drawings shows a final single frame cube and the left picture shows the whole construction. Everything is completly modular. In this way the construction can freely adapt to the ever changing collection.

For the Material workshop Alaïa, Roos and I teamed up to prepare our selection of materials for our very own material passport. In the end we chose the following three materials to research:

Aluminium - Hydro CIRCAL Recycled Aluminium

Textile - Trevira CS

Polymer - colorfabb PHA
