Full house, all groups are busy and even the first parts prom the lasercutter arrived. So while the Romazo
sunshading groups were busy with their prototypes, the cardboard dome groups flavoured the air with the sweet smell of glue. Some groups started a little factory to assemble their parts, quite a logistic task.
Our new sanding table was already very handy and we are very impressed how even the most difficulty tasks are mastered from our students, but we have to admit, seeing the parts that arrived from Laserbeest our laser cutting service, which looked like bought from the shelf ...we really need our own lasercutter - in a box of course !
Such a shame that we are not able to build all the domes in total....
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!
