After finishing the structure we tried to partially clad it as we first decided, however we could not source the steel or aluminium sheeting that we wanted. As a compromise we tried to clad it with traingles of steel mesh, however we decided that the effect wasn’t refined enough, and the sharp edges of the wire would be potentially to dangerous. Therefore we decided to go without, and instead allow the copper frame to be the main focus of the piece.
We tested out the chairs, and they easily hold our weights! The traingular shapes are also successful.
We worked on the doorway, and distorted the shape by adding extra bars in a kind of swing door shape. This also reflects the original ear shape.
Claire and Holly did the layout of the A1 sheets for the exhibition, which talk about the R2 visit , design process and final design etc.
We printed them with some blank space to the sketches and some drawings as well. But after that, we decided to scan it anyway, and add the drawings onto the A1 sheet. Fortunately, we printed it out just before the work shop closed! The sheets along with this blog and some extra drawings will make up the exhibition in the Civic.
