Lessons Learned

WEEK 2 has whized past and it is now time to reflect on what was learned during the construction of our gridshell models. The Korkessarri lookout tower(did i spell that right?) by Vile Hara, proved a formidable task. The complex bending of each of the 72 batens certainly indicates that quite a bit pre planning was necessary for the full scale structure to take form. Jeremys description of this project as a series of oh... moments is certainly much more clear after this experience. That being said, i think that this approach, along with the modular/pre-fabricated approach of the expodoch project are promising for our studio projects. I am also now intrigued to explore gridshells as support members rather than the typical spanning element.

I am interested in generating concept/ approach models and cant wait to sink my teeth into the program.
