Ash & Lacy Factory Visit
A visit to Ash & Lacy’s main production plant, our students saw a range of production methods with aluminium composite material (acm), perforated sheeting and solid aluminium. A few key considerations to apply to the project development are: The manufacturer’s

First Discussions: ‘Support Structures’
Today our students met Gavin Wade, director of Eastside Projects, in order to gain an understanding of their approach to display, working process, and role art (and of the gallery) has in the city. This collaboration will build upon the narrative

Aluminium Tectonics- Joints and Fixings
During our tour around the Ash and Lacy site we were given the opportunity to take part in the fabrication process of a panel, which allowed us to understand the folding, drilling and riveting process. We inherited these processes incorporated

Aluminium Tectonics
In my studies in architecture to date there has been little opportunity to focus, explore and construct a fragment facade detail at 1:1 scale. Drawing a technical detail at a smaller scale is very different to the manufacture of a

Tour to Ash & Lacy Building System
Students took tours to Ash & Lacy factory at West Bromwish for better understanding of the manufacturing process. The tour was lead by Mr. Tharinda Rathnapala from Ash & Lacy and guided through the factories and warehouses. He introduced the process and machineries that

Facade Panels in Context
At the end of the final presentation it was discussed that it would be useful to see the panels in their proposed context. Below are images showing two different sizes of panel, the smaller being similar to the one created

Final Concept – George Cristea
After we finished bolting the strips on the wood frame, we peeled the protection off and finalized the project concept. It came out to be very shiny and to reflect the day light, and sun light when available, exactly the

Steps to the Final Concept – George Cristea
We took records of all our steps in particular, from step one – experimenting on small scale – to creating 1:1 experiments, understanding the problems we may encounter and eventually to the final step which is the final Concept we

Aluminium Tectonics-Final Model-Alvin Amito
For the final model we chose the scale 1:2 instead of 1:1 because it allowed us to be able to show more of the screen inside the 1:1 frame and how it worked, rather than the full scale model. This

After creating the mock ups, we made a 1:10 scale model to test out the scheme and the Aluminium. This was an interesting and extremely useful experience as several issues were highlighted such as the type of connections we should

At the second workshop session we came up with more solid ideas that were based on the themes of music and motion, incorporating elements from the musical instrument, the piano. We decided on creating a screen that resembled a piano
