Update: In-Ex and Growth

Update on
In-Ex by Joe, Bikram and Harshil
Growth by Chin Siang, Joon Hong and Feridson
Both our groups(timber groups), 'In-Ex' and 'Growth' had decided to proceed with our bench making using timber at the carpenter workshop at Puchong Perdana, the workshop same as 'Pandora Box''s.

We had already discussed with the carpenter yesterday. The carpenter agreed with the making of both benches. We will be paying the expenses by ourselves.

Estimated time of completion of both bench mentioned by the carpenter is in 2 weeks time from yesterday, which is exactly 2th Dec.

As for the wood finishes, we had decide to use wood coat to give it a dark wood texture, but will further decided upon seeing the final product.

We will be arranging our own transportation of our benches to the workshop upon completion, hopefully before 2 Dec.

Final Evaluation Sheet

Dear Benchmakers,

We believe in self development. Even to the core. For this final assessment, we want your feedback on yourselves. A reflection. Your failings. But predominantly and prominently, your successes. Tell your story:

At this point, half of the group has not completed their work. This is unfortunate, but it is worth a dialog, as part of the learning process. Alright, final bench submission is on Dec 2, Friday 3.00pm at the Timber Lab. Nothing later, as marks must go through the university's system, but this evaluation must still be passed in on the aforementioned dates.

Time Lapse Video Documentation

Dear all,

The link below is what I trust to be a time-lapse video of works from the Masters of Architecture students in Melbourne University as they built their 1:1 parametric designed installation.

I say 'trust' because the computers in uni won't allow me to view it for some reason. I'll check it later to make sure that it is indeed the video I have in mind to share with you.

Nevertheless, do have a click and a view and let it inspire to ways of creatively and inspiringly documenting your design process and product.

Updates on the Slant

We have been in contact with Nani over the last couple of weeks through email to inform her of the new quotation of our bench and a slight change to the choice of material from plywood to balau,reason being, plywood doesnt weather well outdoors. We will be meeting her tomorrow to further discuss on the quotation as she felt that the cost of the bench could be lowered and would like to suggest to us a few options.Hopefully we will get a confirmation from her tomorrow.

Updates 13/11/11 : BEN[T]CH

Finally, our bench has entered Publika this morning. Carrying the piece into the mall was really a disaster. We'd limited manpower and that leads to one of the clients helping us transporting the beast to site.

HOWEVER,

In less than 30mins or so, sadly....the bench left the mall. Reason being, there are still some minor touching up on the welding seams. Ms Nani prefer it to be a little more seamless (well, it is quite obvious right now) and the front seat to be a little flatter as it is slightly 'tapered'.


2 photos that i've managed to snap within the 30mins time before the benTch is being carried away. :/




















I guess our very first cute little customer enjoyed sitting on it =)




















The BenTch is in a makeover right now BUT i have the confidence that it WILL make a stunning comeback.

Stay tuned ;)

ORIGAMI RULEZ PUBLIKA

The benches have been delivered to Publika this morning. However, there are some refinement to do on the 1 seater bench as it doesnt work well in smooth flooring. The 1 seater bench will be joining one of the 2 seater benches making into 3-3-2 seater origami benches. As so, we need another rm240 for the refinement work later on.
