Congrats

Hi all,

I would like to say congratulations on a excellent presentation and project.
I am proud of what you have achieved in such a short time.

Even though we did not win, I feel that we achieved a great deal from this project not just the outcome but the skills and teamwork we gained.

I think we should try build a final Tensegrity Structure and we can even modify it from the original if we wish. For all those interested we can discuss futher after class on thursday.

Phil.

Skin

When we build the real thing (becasue we're going to win) we could possibly cut the sking into the shape we want tehn stretch it a little? like how they did it with the green "minimal surface" in customs house:



I'm already excited about building this thingy :D

we need to have a list of people who REALLY want to participate

THANKS ALL

Hi everyone,
Thank you to all of you who helped out and really made an effort to get to where we are, sorry it wasn't a better result although of course i think we genuinely deserved the win.
In any case it looks like our pavillion will be built at some point very soon so stay posted. For those of you who are passionate about the project we would appreciate your help.

MONEY: the total cost was $695 for the project, the price increased dramatically because of the printing costs today.
So everyone for next thursday bring in $41, correct change please.

THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE GREAT EFFORT!!!!!!!!!!!
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE COMPLETE STRUCTURE REALISED VERY SOON.

Money Matters

On a final note regarding money i would appreciate it if you could give the money to me tomorrow because we are all together amount owed: $18.
argh felicity about the photos :S never mind. i think the video, from speaking to emma today, is done, so it's all good. if we win and we need them then i have them to be used.

Grace yesterday I looked in that folder and there was nothing there… none of your files which was weird. I tried to drop my vid/photos but it was protected for some reason. I put my stuff on Christen’s USB, I know Jess and Emma were working on it yesterday so maybe email them your files?

 

Thanks heaps for doing the blog book Keiran. But as the blog was designed as an open forum for exchange of ideas I would like to contest the title  of ‘the playbook’. Don’t get me wrong I love the idea of printing our blog as a book, but the title though superficial needs to be coherent with the rest of the layout/concept.  We want them to take us seriously, the blog wasn’t an opportunity for ‘play’, it reflects a lot of hard work. Christen what was the title of that book that Diller + Scofidio did? Maybe we could do something similar. Admittedly I don’t know much about NRL, perhaps Keiran you could explain how sports fits into our concept of the GFC and notions of world hunger. I think we need to vote on this..


Sorry Keiran no hard feelings :)

is there anything else you want me to do?

photos and video

hey

On Monday I thought we were collaborating the photos and so on, so I made a folder in the student files (the drop box wouldn't allow a new folder to be made) called tensegrity and my photos and videos are in there. I'm really sorry I forgot to tell anyone, but they are there if you need them Jess. It's too late now, so I'll bring my stuff in tomorrow just in case the files are no longer there tomorrow. Sorry!

Is there a meeting tomorrow with final collaboration?

And Felicity, maybe post all the names up on the blog or bring them all in tomorrow and we can just vote on them.....

Grace

book

ALI-
ive followed christans ideas for the blog by just copy and pasting it as is and not cleaning up. (i dont really like the wai it looks, looks pretty shit) i thought the one that i did earlier was more presentable, but hey we can customise whichever one you guys see fit tomorrow.

and screw you all, i want the book to be called 'the 'playbook'.. Felicity you wont understand the meaning of this, obviously you dnt appreciate the nrl. OR any sport man!. its a teams holly grail! its got everything that one team needs n went thruu..
hands up for PLAYBOOK'
Guys the book is being taken care of don't worry about it....and as far as name start putting out ideas...tense.integrity.... i don't know know..but what ever you can think of should be put on the blog so we can storm our brains tomorrow and choose the most appropriate one... Its time to get this baby bouncing....
DIDO for the comment below this. I havent been able to attend meetings due to training and work and feel like I have been left behind, ever since this blog became less important than the physical building of the project. If ANYONE needs help on anything just holla!!!!!

project title

Thanks heaps Maddy would you please put the blog book together, 1 x bound copy.

Alex/Ali/Jason we need 4 x small versions of the pavilion to give to the panel no specific scale. The bamboo skewers/rubber band versions will do so long as they are replicas of our module.

Any suggestions re project title...anyone??? Any and all suggestions welcome!

Couldn't be any worse than my suggestion of 'sticky' last week...


Integrity

Emergent Dynamism


Felicity

hey.. 
its only a few day left to presentation and feel bad as i am not really doing anything to help out. if there is anything you want me to do let me know 
maddy
plus i like the idea of making a book of the blog as it shows our development 

FELICIRTTYYYYYYYYYYYY

Hey felicity i need t o speak to you could you please call me 0423 171 356 its pretty urgent.
Hey Eleanor,

I'm not sure if your still at uni, but we need the video desperately.
Can you please try and send it somehow...and any photos if possible.
Thanks

Jess

Idea

I know your pressed for time.
but is it possible to have the fabric float in the air (eg not touch the ground like in the montages)
then you can build the base abit lifted off the ground to hide the reels/motors. and drill into the base so the string can go through that.

the lights could just run on a wire into the floating fabric. i think it will look more pure to the idea of tensegrity.

if you dont have time dont worry about this.

Phil.
Meeting after History??
