Notes - probes 

Summary of discussion about which kind of structure we should investigate:
Investigation of how the structure will behave in wind when:


Static structure >< Dynamic cladding  - will behave as in our earlier investigations 

Dynamic structure >< Static cladding - We already know how a structure can be dynamic/changed from phase 2 in our case study archive where group five was working with dynamic structures.

Dynamic structure >< Dynamic cladding: We will on the basis of above-mentioned work with this kind of structure in our investigation because we think this kind of structure both could give us the possibility to both work with a structure which moves in a greater or lesser extent and we can slice in the structure and make it possible for the structure to open up in certain areas and be closed in others. etc. 

We have decided to focus on one of these structures to get a better chance to investigate more specific subjects to the structure's behavior both in relation to material - which kind of material can be dynamic when it is un-frozen and static (remain in differently dynamic forms) when it is frozen and how can it be formed and thereby behave in different ways.
And in relation to form; how can it be formed for instance angled according to the direction of the wind? How can it be wide open in some areas and closed in others? How can the modules vary between being dependent of the rest of the structure or being more independent? How should the structure be attached to the ground? 
Etc.

Proposals to probes:

Probe_1: Form of the structure
Probe_2: Connection to the ground; stringed or directly
Probe_3: Materials: Wood, paper, glass(thick transparent paper), plastic

Preparation:
We need a box which can create turbulence wind for our probes 

Precise location: 
The valley Horgardalur - nearest city: Akureyri

Reason: In the winter is the temperature always below the freezing point and in valleys occur turbulence which thereby will change the structure in different directions.

Titel for our investigation programme:

"Transitions // Dynamic><Static conditions"

Intensions - further investigations 

Static><Dynamic:

- Dynamic structure >< Dynamic cladding

- Static structure >< Dynamic cladding

- Dynamic structure >< Static cladding

- Flexible material or flexible joins

- Dynamic in the summer and static in the winter - partly dictate/direct the transformation in the structure so it will make lee for the       wind in the winter

- Which visually influences will the frost have on the structure

Preprobe - Investigation_4

Winds ability to pass through unfrozen/frozen covering

Result: Slightly no change in winds ability to pass through the used fabric frozen or not. The surfaces will either way serve as protection from the wind.
Turbolens makes greater impact on the curtain we placed, than wind blowing directly through the fabric. 

Preprobe - Investigation_3 

Frost closing gaps on surface

Result: The frost will not fill out the greater gaps, at least not if you don't have a situation where there simultaneously is added water during the freezing process. 
Smaller gaps within the fabric is covered by frost. 

Preprobe - Investigation_2

Windlapse - Dynamic Structure(unfrozen) // Static structure(frozen)

Left: Windlapse - Structure >< affected by the wind >< dynamic structure

Right: Windlapse - Frozen (dynamic) structure >< not affected by the wind >< static structure

Preprobe - Investigation_1

Windlapse: Dynamic structure affected by the wind - Expansion

Book - Phase 3.1

Programming

Parameter: Structure transformed by the wind <dynamic> and made rigrid by the frost <static>

Location: Iceland

Time-scale: 12 - months - cycle

Phase 3 - Overall parameter; Dynamic >< Static Structure/Cladding

Sketch; dynamic cladding transformed by wind(dynamic) and fasten by frost(static)
