There is always something ...today Wroclaw went dark ... till 14.00 the entire area was off power - luckily Jerzy had a battery powered track saw and was able to get an aggregate within minutes ...so the little power shortage did not stopped us that much.
Each group is working hard in their project and the group that works on an urban garden for the elderly already finished one bench element and a flower pod.
One group who is working on a cardboard house that will be fighting fire had a great idea to solve the problems of the open corners - thats an easy spot for the fire to attack - lets make round edges without open edges at all ...so today we started to test bend cardboard corners. Works well in general but takes quite a while to dry - so tomorrow we have to build more moulds to speed up the production.
The best time at the day ( at least for me ...) is lunch time, we have a great catering who seems to be run by an old grandma, cause it tastes like grandma had made it ... having put a long table in the front of the workshop allows us to enjoy lunch all together and with a group of 45 its quite a happening. Its also the only moment of the day its calm ...today we also witnessed a dancing performance next to the usual discussions and chats.
Jerzy and myself danced also a bit ...
this blog is dedicated to the Bucky Lab from the TU Delft faculty of Architecture. Within the mastercourse we design, develop and at the end build architecture and building construction related prototypes. Its a "get your hands dirty" approach in which the students learn how to translate concepts from sketch into working prototypes. We try to live the spirit of buckminster fuller: what ever you can imagine, you can also build!
