Spring 2010 MArch Studio

Week 2: organism studies

Week 3: PNEU UNIT proposal, dew collector

Week 4: PNEU UNIT modelling, modelling in Generative Components

2010 Spring semester's studio first half is about creating a pneumatic structure for an emergency housing which has an environmental goal to it. I started off looking into a type of rigid shell jellyfish which swims not by adjusting its form of the outer shell but by its inner muscles. I went on using the concept of 2 surfaces, one stiff one flexible, in developing the unit for dew collection. It will then constitute a system which forms the enclosure of the emergency shelter.
