07 – Fast Installation – Joel – Mockup

:: Conclusion

Milling stage

Conclusion – Lower the spindle speed to 7500rpm

Assembly stage

Conclusion – Extra set of holes along the edge has to be prepared in the cut sheet

Conclusion -Incorporate every folding conditions with the thickness of the material.

Overall geometry

Conclusion – Bolt closer to the end corners of the geometry.

Conclusion – Reduce the length of straight line in the geometry. So as to minimize the possibility for sagging.

Conclusion – Reduce the length of metal plate/ increase the length for bifurication

4.196 Special Problems in Architectural Design Complete Fabrications Nick Gelpi Mon-Fri, Jan 5-7, 10-11, 13-14, 18, 20-21, 24-25, 27-28, 01-04:00pm, 3-402/7-432studio, 1st mtg Wed 1/5 Pre-register on WebSIS and attend first class. No listeners Prereq: Permission of instructor ; Yr-1 MArch students who have completed 4.123 only Level: H 9 units Standard A - F Grading Can be repeated for credit Lab Fee: 150 A comprehensive introduction to methods of “making” explored through a wide range of brief but focused exercises. Skills = developing complex geometries from flat components; fine-tuning press fit construction, molding and casting, and making repeatable molds for customization. A two-part workshop, the first half will contextualize contemporary tools and techniques within the trajectories of historical case studies of building, combined with hands on familiarization of tools. The second half will implement the tools of our workshop in the context of Design. Working on group design build process for three MIT 150 FAST installations, students will test and influencing designs through the instrumentality of production. These hands-on design build projects are intended to produce reciprocity between skills and design, making more complete the problems of fabrication. Subject limited to year-one MArch students who have completed core-1 studio. Contact: Nick Gelpi, 9-224, 253-9415, ngelpi@mit.edu -
