Recap from the previous post, I was explaining regarding the durability of the connectivity of bamboo joints of its methods and process. As for this week, the effect on the form of the connectivity of construction joints will be explored through model making.
Assuming the linear structure will be a specimen resemble to the material of bamboo; whereas the circular ball will illustrate the metal clamp-liked connector to assemble the bamboo rods.
The joints can be scaled for different rod thicknesses and also for the lengths of rods. But in this model making, a standardized connector and rod is being used throughout the entire model. Although there is a uniformity and chances being monotonous due to the repeated of similar structure, but the connectors have turned this monotonous structure into an engaging mechanical riveted form.
The assemble of rods attaching to the 6 sided joints created a weight transfer effect. These linear rod structure; known as the lattice structure system; in the form of a network of elements; having its load-carrying mechanism; increases its durability due to the increase of the amount of the structure; leading to the three-dimensional weight transfer manner within that specific area. It may takes the form of a flat or curved surface.
These irregular arrangements of structures have provided a dense packing under a different spatial determinations; provide lightness and durability. The placing of the structures create these vacant spaces with lack of uniformity, they generate irregular patterns that are irregular complements to the perfection of the fluidity abstract form themselves.
According to this sculpture, the nature is one of a world connected and interconnected, its laws relied upon to unfold consistently and uniformly. The art itself has assumed the very literal imagery of certain contemporary scientific projects. The close packing of objects are the most efficient way to pack solids in an infinite space; arranging solids in configurations that minimize the resulting empty spaces.
