SPECIALIZATION COURSE:
Incrementality is a way in which a series of small amounts of objects are collaborated together to make a specific larger structure.
We started by figuring out some of the elements like ramps, staircase, arches, and windows which we would use by doing alternate permutations and combinations to finalize a structure. The elements we finalized are shown below:
We tried to create incrementality by using more abstract elements. So we created a Rubik's cube type of structure by making a grid of 3 by 3. It will be a structure with cuboidal grids and have spaces to insert the cubes and pyramids. We tried experimenting with various materials so first, we tried to make a wooden model
Next we finalized our material to be ACRYLIC and the inserting elements in the grid of the above structure will be wooden cubes and pyramids. The dimension of each grid was 3 by 3 and the thickness of the acrylic was 8mm.
The topmost and the bottom most grids of the cuboid are kept fixed whereas the internal and adjacent members are movable and can be rotated to form a grid on the other side.
The movable grids are placed together by a peg joint i.e. using bamboo skewers. Hence they are easily detachable.
So in these grids formed, the blocks of pyramids can be easily inserted and placed.
JOINARIES:
Instead of sticking the acrylic elements together and keeping the form rigid, we figured out a way of holding them together by the peg joint.
PROCESS :
We started by making a cuboid of height 18m and breadth 13 cm and then figured out the grids which should be kept fixed i.e. the top and bottom most grids and the innermost core of the cuboids should be fixed and the rest movable.
The base and the top grid of the cuboid has dimensions 13 cm by 13 cm and there are 4 vertical elements of height 21cm. The grid is formed by joining elements of 3 cm together as shown in the diagram beside.
The structure has grids where cubes of the same dimension as the grids can be placed. The grids on the 4 sides of the cuboid are movable and they can be rotated to form a grid in the internal areas. The centermost vertical column of the grid is kept fixed. Acrylic is a better material than wood as we can work with a lot of precision.
TALLEST MEMBER- 4 - each of 21 cm.
OUTER SQUARE GRID MEMBERS - 8- each of 13 cm.
SMALL MEMBERS TO FORM INTERNAL GRID -60+32=82 pieces- each of 3 cm.
The insertion elements in the grid will be cubes cut into pyramids of dimensions 3cm by 3cm. The cubes are made of teak wood and they are to be cut into pyramids by chopping them from the center and divided exactly into 2 halves.
