making it

Putting the components together required a bit of experimenting. I tried molding insulation foam to form one of the seats in my field of points. I also mixed a batch of concrete to make a more solid seat, which might last outside longer than a couple days. I bolted the metal bases and made the connections stronger with these metal anchors I got a Lowes. Overall, the entire seat is very sturdy and I think will be able to stand a couple days out on the site.

Bug skin

Yet another study shows how the shapes of the seats on the landscape came to be. Taking the shapes on the skin of a common bug, I generated this pattern and cut it to make each individual seat.

Cylinders

Another variation of my project are these cylinders which create a gradient from one corner to the opposite one. Using the same grid system as in my last studies, I varied the heights of each cylinder as the slope of the landscape got higher and toward the wall.

The next step in the process is to experiment with components and materials. This "landscape" of seats I found in the skin of an insect.
I then took the pattern and imitated it onto the point field I previously layed out on the site. This small scale model is made with cardboard. Next I will move on to do some cast models with silicone and also mix that with wood.
