ITERATION 2
MATERIALS USED:
WOODEN FRAME, 24” x 4’4”
WATERPROOF OUTDOOR
FURNITURE LINING, 6 PVC
PIPES, 6 1/2” THREADED RODS,
12 NUTS, 12 1 1/4” WASHERS
VARIABLES: PVC PIPE LENGTH
= 3”
KEY TAKEAWAYS: LEAKAGE,
WAS NOT FILLED UP ENOUGH,
LEVEL DECREASES BY 1”,
FABRIC STRETCH OUT A BIT
From our last experiment, we
deepened the form ties from 4
1/2” to 3”, which created a more
exaggerated pillow surface. The
difference was that because the
tension was shorter, this made
the outer pillow sections to be
more pronouced.
Additionally, we made sure
to seal around the edges of
where the fabric met the wood
framework, but leakage was
still present. Another difference
we presented was to push in
the bottom wooden stud further
into the volume to create more
of the roundness of the shape.
Additionally, we used another
wooden stud to secure the
fabric at the top.
The fabric itself was still
resusable, but needed to be
cleaned off quite a bit. We also
noticed some of the fibers on
the fabric was onto to the form
itself, and we questioned the
longevity of the material.
