We have decided to deploy the canopy in two phass on both sites. A day configuration (labeled the 'infinity' shape) and a night configuration ('star' shape). The daytime configuration will allow for inhbitation of the volume created by the canopy, while the night configuration transforms the canopy into a lantern sculpture. mesh will be incorperated in both phases.
In Roxbury, we will use our original siting and fabricate the canopy with tails large enough to fully reach the extents of the external connections. In the alley, we will flip the configuration 90 degrees vertically (such that the star shape is in plan, and one walks under it to observe the shape).
PRODUCTION AND SCALE:
We have elected to produce two square canopies using the scheme 3 stiching scheme (with elongated tails). The size of the canopy is dependent on a stretch factor test to be done in field with the 10x10 mock-up canopies.
WORKFLOW:
- Terry will begin to produce a construction documents, detailing each patterned component with appropriate dimensions for fabrication.
- we need a 2' cube mock up with the stiching pattern. this will allow us to test multiple ring points, the stiching, and mesh integration studies.
- we need to test the flex ring concept in full scale.
- we need to seriously mock up a working light integration.
