Shen  He  Final  Por.olio  Architecture  101  City  College  of  San  Francisco  05/19/2014  

Project  DescripBon  

•  According  to  this  semester’s  topic  –  “the  wall  transfigured”,  we  are  required  to  explore  the  “memories  resurrected,  reconfigured,  and  propagated”.  This  is  a  1:1  full  size  construcBon  which  is  located  in  the  second  floor  of  Batmale  Hall.  Although  our  group  did  not  have  a  specific  name  for  our  design,  I  named  it  as  “spider  web”

Individual  Design  I  

•  The  requirement  of  this  model  is  secBoning.  I  had  the  idea  from  propeller.  I  made  two  circle  as  the  connecBon.  Then,  I  put  different  shape  connected  to  the  circle.    

Individual  Design  II  

I  had  the  idea  from  spiral  staircases.  So  I  aLached  triangle,  square,  pentagon,  hexagon,  heptagon,  octagon  and  round  

together  to  make  a  cumulaBve  shape.              

Group  Conceptual  Design  

InspiraBon  and  Research  

•  Most  of  the  quesBons  Jerry  posed  during  the  brainstorming  sessions  had  us  tesBng  designs  with  tessellaBons,  and  folding  techniques  .  We  also  studies  Ron  Resch,  Shigeru  Ban,  Original  folding  and  the  different  users  of  material  that  go  into  construcBng  planes  and  shadow  effects.    

Design  Concept  

•  In  our  iniBal  design,  we  planned  to  use  wood,  but  through  our  prototyping  we  discovered  that  the  wood  would  be  very  heavy  and  it  would  be  difficult  to  archive  our  goal.  With  our  design,  we  also  wanted  to  emulate  the  Japanese  original  folding  technique,  so  chipboard  would  be  the  most  easily  manipulated  material  we  could  use  to  create  this  intricate  structure.    

Ron  Resch  •  The  design  was  an  example  of  his  geometric  development  of  

“the  Space  Curve  as  a  Folded  Edge”.    The  method  of  making  the  animated  film  turned  out  to  be  of  historic  importance.  His  credits  include  patents  for  “self-­‐supporBng  structural  units”  using  tessellaBon  techniques,  as  well  as  “geometric  designs”    

ConcepBon  

We  used  SketchUp  to  simulate  the  model.      

This  is  the  first  fixed  simulator.  According  to  the  actual  operaBon,  we  changed  it  during  the  

construcBon  process.      

This  is  the  basic  principle  of  our  model.  We  called  those  principles  -­‐-­‐  “stars”.      

Cut  the  board  into  triangles  with  different  sizes.    There  are  total  608  triangles.      

During  the  processing,  we  found  that  it  was  difficult  to  make  the  “stars”  unfolding.  We  tried    to  put  balloons  and  tennis  ball  in  the  middle  of  the  star,  but  it  did  not  work.    

We  finally  decided  to  use  a  square  in  the  middle  of  the  stars  in  order  to  stretch  the  stars.        

The  final  version  of  the  star.  

Materials  •  Chip  Board:  200  sq  _  •  U-­‐Bolts:  7  •  Steel  Galvanized  cord:  44_  •  Anchor  Bolts:  3  •  Eye  Hooks:  5  •  2*4:  2  •  2*2:  1  •  Quick  Links:  12  •  Stucco  Corner  Piece:  1  •  Fishing  Line:  500  yards  •  Silver  Acrylic  Paint:  1  24oz  

•  4-­‐  3/  4  “  Hex  Bolts  •  22  Wire  Cable  Ferrules  •  5  Large  Stars  –  4  _  •  8  Medium  Stars  –  3  _  •  11  Small  Stars  –  2  _  •  4  Square  Stars  –  1  _  •  41  Sheets  of  Chipboard  •  200  sq  _  •  24  cut  triangles  per  piece  •  608  Triangles  •  28  squares  •  636  total  kit  of  parts  

Conclusion  

 I  ended  up  enjoying  most  of  the  construcBon  process.  Working  as  a  group  make  things  more  easier.  Although  it  was  hard  to  gather  team  members  to  gather,  it  open  my  eyes  to  different  ideas.  And  I  find  this  class  is  more  pracBcal  than  the  boring  textbook  knowledge.        

Finished!!!
