Probe

Folded/sliced cardboard - Flexibility >  Dynamic structure

Folded/sliced cardboard - sketch models -  Flexibility <Dynamic Structure>

Variations of openings in the material (cardboard) - flexibility

(Sorted out in the final book because it did not had a big influence on the further development of the project but it does of cause have a big influence on our process and the direction of the project as it shows that we have take another material in to consideration and in that context we come up with the idea with a flexible material which are controlled by rigid elements which gives the material different behaviors depending on the shape of the props)

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
