Updates 2 on Shipwreck
We are now on Kickstarter! Click on the image below or on this LINK to kindly back our projects.
Little summary of our productive day at Westminster with Chris Ingram and Georgia Collard-Watson: We produced a 1:1 physical model of the wood laminate technique recommended by Ramboll (drawing shown in previous post). We will us this technique to form the twisting longitudinal spines on our building.
The openings on the back ribs are now defined parametrically by a sine curve and unroll with the strips for fabrication.We tested couple options and are happy with the one shown below which breaks the direction of the strips.

Resolving Shipwreck’s structure – Working on the interface between back stripes and vertical ribs.

Modelling the ribs and notches – We are currently adapting the ribs and spine to add strength.
