Looking from the distance it feels very full, but if you approach it you will find so may wonderful models and details, so don't miss the exhibition which will have to take away already next week Wednesday.
What did we do this semester ? Here is the text from the exhibition:
Bucky Lab – Terrace shading
This semester we teamed up with CRH one of the international
leaders in building materials. Within their huge range of materials and
products CRH also owns a couple of companies producing shadings in all kinds of
variations. Sunstock to name just one helped us together with the Dutch group
of CRH to define this semesters assignment – a solution for a typical Dutch row
house terrace shading.
While the common solutions have problems in harsh wind
conditions or limit the use while it rains we challenged the students to find alternative
solutions for this special kind of clients – the common Dutch row house owner.
Being asked to think out of the box we can see a huge
variety of concepts that address different problems, all suited to be placed in
the garden of the house.
Due to the fact that we can’t build an entire full scale
prototype of a terrace shading we decided to build the entire prototype in 1:10
scale and one 1:1 detail of the most difficult
construction.
Have a look, did you find a solution that may improve your
home ?
The results are made during the last BT semester and not
only the effort of 73 students who just started their study in the master but
also our entire team of docents and teachers:
Casper van der Meer, Sedar Asut, Boris Bähre, Truus
Hoordijk, Regina Bokel, Peter Eigenraam, Fred Veer, Hans Hoogenboom, Marcel
