Arch me
To continue from where we left off, its been a week since the last post and a lot has happened. Within the week we not only received new homework, a somewhat refresher for a project was given.
Here is how it went...
Remember how many a times we have big ambitions but sometimes we are restricted by our abilities? Yeah. That was pretty much what happened. We had plans to reinterpret "The Parthenon" by merging its design with that of a dome. But it was later that we came into realisation that we didn't have the time nor the skills to perform it. We had to improvise and make it workable in order to save time.
This is our process...
Test : Load
We needed to meet the basic requirement of a minimum of 4 phones. Hence to achieve the required mark and above, we tested our arch in several ways. However, following the footsteps of our forefathers, we studied the different types of arch throughout the ages; looking for one that suits our use and enables us to alter it without compromising it's integrity. The reason to why we scout for one where room for creativity is available is because we did not want one that would be rigid, restricting us to add our style. Upon deciding on the framework, we chose to proceed with the arch held by a keystone as we thought it be elegant in its function along with how it demonstrates stability by one piece.
Through the different alterations, we were literally overjoyed when ours was able to hold more than our expectation. 11 phones, a thick covered book and a bottle. It was really more than what we could have hoped for.
Test : Seismic
Although we did wonderful in the previous test, only one word could describe this. Utter desolation. Not even halfway through the levels of the test, ours crumbled like an undercooked cake taken out to be served. It shows that we lack in this area. We cared so much about the load till we neglected this.
