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!

ALTERNATIVES FOR A MOBILE WORKSHOP
The students of the bucky lab started with a little research about mobile workshops, we already mentioned F1 workshops, but as usual the students surprized us again…with a very - lets say “dutch” version - of a mobile workshop in this case human powered…at the end we decides to build flightcases, but we still think we should try to cut a bike in half and attach it …

HETTICH FURNITURE TECHNOLOGY
We had a good session with the bucky lab students with Hettich today and got a proper insight of hettich products. We will write more about it later, but we couldnt wait to show you this hinges…which will be assembled toolless, not only the assembly is stunning fast, but you can also seperate them without any remaining parts, thats what we call sustainable and even better its not called the “super sustainable hinge”, we love it - constructions that are better in use and quality and also reduce the environmental impact…and not yelling it out loud in first place.
RAACO SUPPORTS THE BUCKY LAB
What is a workshop without all the small parts like nuts and bolts? Yes you are right : nothing ! How do you keep them ? In these handy small boxes or drawers, beeing mobile requires even a better system to get all the small fasternes and screws organized. We are very happy that we have could win RAACO as a partner of the
new mobile bucky lab workshop, RAACO will sponsor us with a full set of their IF Award winning BOXXSER Cases, that allows us to keep all the small parts organized neatly while we are on the way.
While the lid is made out of durable Polycarbonat and the bottom part out of polypropylene we can be sure everything stays where it belongs. We got a proper intro about the products from RAACO and are able to see
what will fit into our mobile workshop boxes the most. Thank you very much RAACO !I know from experience that these boxes will last long…

BUCKY LAB DESIGN SHORT FOR COMPLETION
Our students worked very hard to develop the new mobile bucky lab workshop, we got a huge list of sponsors as you already noticed and now with the design of the exterior of our case the boxes really looks like we are attempting a rally. Nice thats what it has to be…an adventure.
you will notice that we still have some space left…so feel free to contact us if you like to sponsor our team.

ABB / BUSCH JAEGER SPONSORS BUCKY LAB
When we started to develop and design the new mobile workshop for
the bucky lab, the students directly started thinking for other
possibilities that have to fit into the boxes than just the tools…musik
was their first idea. That seems to be next to coffie a very nessesary
demand. They are right !
But it would not the bucky lab approach, if we just put a radio in one of our cases….
Now we are very proud and happy that Busch Jaeger a ABB group is sponsoring the bucky lab with some sets of their iDock´s. Busch Jaeger well known in germany and the netherlands for its wide range of switches, power contacts, wall sockets and all the things you have to have in your house to get the power out of it or control your light, they also provide audio systems that will fit within their series of products. Internationally their products will be available via ABB.
We will use their Busch-iDock set that normally will serve an iPhone / iPod placed next to a radio unit and a small speaker directly mounted into the wall to fit in our boxes. The speaker is small, but we have to admit: very loud !
Thats definitely a device that will be recommended for every house, its small, intergrated into the wall and easy to use. Brilliant idea and while listening to the musik or the integrated radio, your player will also be charged!
Oh and for all the ones having not a device with an fruit logo…there is also a 3.5mm contact to hook up all the other players around.
We cant wait to integrate these into our boxes and have to thank Busch Jaeger / ABB for their support.
