Week 1: An introduction to hand-thrown bricks
In this session, we were shown the process of hand throwing bricks. Tools & Materials: Wet Clay Sand Brick Mould Water Pallet board Metal Bow Kiln Method: Firstly, prepare the mold (wooden.) This should be made to standard size of a brick.

Brick Making Demonstration
Demonstration from Adam Wattrus (above) We were taught how to throw a brick by Adam Wattrus. His demonstration was interesting as he had learned recently as well which made him conscious of many of the mistakes he had made when

Make Do Facade: Display Iteration 1
We have now completed the first iteration for the display system. After a (virtual) discussion between artist, engineer (students) and gallery, the main points of discussion are: To play with the contrast between the fragility/lightness of aluminium and the heavier gauge

Display Prototype
The initial scoping phase has now progressed to the second stage of the Production Show: Prototyping, Discovering, Analysing. The students are developing a display system that acts as a functioning working prototype as well as exhibiting artefacts from the creative

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

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
