Details

These drawings are relevant to my client Jiro Ono. The word that I am focusing on for him is Sushi. 

Here is a look at my new platform. It has slimmer columns with tapered edges to reduce the mass on structures appearance. The platform has also had a change up, with a smaller profile to minimise its impact of the building. 

 This section demonstrates the profile. One thing I am unsure of is the overhang that is possible on the right of the picture. I think 4m is too long (??) - I haven't changed the drawing as I felt it made the structure look less chunky. How should I approach this problem? 


Tomorrow I will attempt to push this structure a step further by using the honey comb structure to distribute the weight. Have this pattern stem from the columns will create an interesting aesthetic in the Gallery space.

    Hi Mitchell,

    It's just been a really hectic, thanks for asking.

    I like the size and proportion of the architecture, I think 4.3 metres is fine, it depends mainly on the thickness of the slab.

    I like the honey comb structure, Im looking forward to seeing how you showcase that within your concrete structural elements.

    I would like you to review the profile of your columns though. I dont think the profile is echoing the physical forces that the column is experiencing. If you think about it the columns would rather curve the opposite direction like how you had it before.

    Good luck and do reply if you have any questions.

    Jo

      Hi Jo,

      Glad to hear everything is fine. I always think being busy is always nicer than being too quiet. Also thanks for the feedback. I'm finding I'm getting a lot more done now then at the beginning.

      I guess we can always get into the specifics of the measurements during class - probably easier that way.

      I've been testing with the honeycomb structure, but its not as easy as it looks. I'll keep trying and post more progress on my blog up until our tute on Tuesday.

      I'm a bit lost when you say 'opposite direction like you had it before' and 'the physical forces that the column is experiencing? Would you mind elaborating on that for me?

      Thanks,
      Mitch : )
