        Lee, Chang Sup : AssignmentsEdit Lee, Chang Sup : Assignments here.Assignment #7 11.17. 2007 Oct. 29 07 lecture PART ONE Summary The topic discussed in this lecture was about urban planning and history of urban forms. For example, professor explained origins of American Urbanism begun from the New England, showing the details of Sudbury Center. It contained lot of variable dimension, grouped around a common. At that time the common was used for pasturing cattle, though grass and hay were in short supply. Meeting house was operated as public building. As we approach modern period, some of the aspect developed such as transportation and some of them disappeared. PART TWO 1. I did not know the meaning of the word township, claimants and Venue. I misunderstood some of the slide because of this. Actual meaning of these words are. 2. Township- The term township generally means the district or area associated with a town. However in some systems no town need be involved. Specific use of the term to describe political subdivisions has varied by country, usually to describe a local rural or semi-rural government within a county. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Township (Canada) Claimants - someone who claims a benefit or right or title; "claimants of unemployment compensation"; "he was a claimant to the throne" wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn Venue - The place where an action is tried, generally based on locality or judicial district, in which an injury occurred or a material fact happened, or ... chicago.chicagotribune.il-foreclosure.com/legalterms.asp PART THREE This lecture was interesting in a way of showing historical picture of buildings. There were a lot of bird eye view pictures on this slide show. I could see difference that diverged from the war, cultural changes and trends in urban planning form. As more time passed, It gets more strict and convenience and efficient in a way of people interacting. I could see some of the township and range remains the organizing principle well into the present. Also, I could figure out that the logic of movement and cul-de-sac pattern prevails in land subdivided after World War 2. QUESTIONS 1. How about history of international urban form? 2. Does politic matter in urban planning? 3. What is the future of urban form? 4. How architecture related to urban planning? Oct 31 2007 Organizations Summary: It was not a lecture. It was about introducing three organizations, AIAS, SCA and ID CFY organization. AIAS is a student governed organization that serves as a voice for students. It is also the only official representation of students to the architecture profession. SCA (Student Construction Association) concentrates on more of how to step up on business after the college. SCA help students how to start own company, how to develop a community, techniques of interview and how to find internships. ID CFY organization concentrated on going other presentations, observing other’s work together. Nov. 07. 2007. Capital City. Design PART ONE Summary: It was about building great streets and building great cities. How street is important in the city? City exist for access, access requires mobility. City need to minimize the transportation and maximize exchange. The professor explained and integrated the role of transportation. The street is important to not only automobiles but also people who are walking. Also he talked about the walmartization, how business interferes with city design and change. PART TWO 1. I did not understand the word of Coffer, volute, and colonnade in the lecture. 2. Coffer - In architecture, a coffer (plural: coffering) is a sunken panel in the shape of a square, rectangle, or octagon that serves as a decorative device, usually in a ceiling. An example of this can be found in the ceiling of the rotunda dome in the Roman Pantheon. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffer volute - In classical architecture, the spiral ornament on a capital. www.lynnerutter.com/glossary.html colonnade - a series of columns set at regular intervals, usually supporting the base of a roof structure. www.copper-beech.com/glossary.html PART THREE I very much liked this lecture. It was concise and straightforward. Also, the lecture was widely explained such as New York, Canada, and Europe. The slides were precisely ordered. The future implication was strong. Story of history of highway was interesting. Ultimate results of this lecture were importance of designers. The design of street will be rise in future, because the streets have to be regulated. QUESTIONS 1. How can you personally improve the conditions of street currently? 2. What do you think of Georgia Tech as an example? 3. Would Perfect Street exist? 4. How can architecture and industrial design can interfere with street design? Nov. 12 07 lecture PART ONE Summary Two guest speaker introduced the history of buildings in Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech started with Tech tower and kept adding. It was very interesting to know the chronological building orders in campus. This include, innovative learning resource center, women’s softball field, North Avenue apartment, Marcus Nanotechnology building, Campus Recreation Center and fifth street. The green project is currently on plan. PART TWO 1. I did not know the meaning of the word Emission, potable, cistern 2. Emission - the release or discharge of a substance into the environment. Generally refers to the release of gases or particulates into the air. ngv.org/ngv/ngvorg01.nsf/bytitle/Glossary.htm Potable - Water that is safe to drink. www.nachi.org/glossary/p.htm Cistern -Rainwater storage tank, often underground. www.thedrainsurgeon.com/terms.html PART THREE This lecture was not very interesting to some students because they already knew the building history of Georgia Tech. The future plan was introduced; make Georgia Tech campus more environmental friendly. I enjoyed watching what have happened in Georgia Tech before current structures. The atmosphere of lecture on Nov 12 was not great, but I enjoyed personally. QUESTIONS 1. Why solar decathlon moving right in front of architecture building? 2. Does Solar decathlon worth to open to public? 3. How can Georgia Tech solve drought situation in Atlanta? 4. Personally, I think Solving drought problem for future is more important than make GT green What do you think? Nov. 14 07 lecture PART ONE Summary Guest speaker concentrated on future town planning. It started with phrase ‘quality than quantity’. Also, he emphasized the housing programs, retail/ commercial development, public education, neighborhood beautification and public safety for the town planning. The national and local housing market trend is growing over the future aspects of planning. He showed the slides of the problem pictures in designing process in Universities as well, since real estate of the colleges and universities is directly upon our majors. PART TWO 1. I did not know the meaning of the word catchments, amenity, displacement. 2. Catchments - An area from which all the drainage water passes into one stream or other body of water. www.hubbardbrook.org/6-12_education/Glossary/Glossary.htm Amenity - the pleasant or normally satisfactory aspects of a location which contribute to its overall character and the enjoyment of residents or visitors. wychavon.whub.org.uk/home/wdc-planning-gen-jargon Displacement - A change in position. A displacement may be a translation a rotation or a combination of those. www.arch.virginia.edu/~km6e/references/glossary/struc-glossary.html PART THREE This lecture was well focused and intense. It went over the demographic shifts, housing market trends, and community activism. For example, how planning related to aging African American and White Ethnic Working Class Populations, social institutions and networks impacted by shifts and organizing efforts supported and subverted by the university. I learned that how real estate shifts for the value of the land. It ultimately depend on the land owner, how to manage it. QUESTIONS 1. How does it affect on Georgia Tech? 2. What is the definition of Dual city? 3. What happen if the plan is not affordable? 4. How can Georgia Tech develop real estate? 30-40entries. Anonymous.

First of all, he showed the changing physical status in America. The obesity was increasing. In order to correspond to this problem, he introduced one of the solutions, the stair use. Also, he introduced the efficiency in building element. This could increase recovery speed and decrease welfare assets in a long term. In other words, stair for promoting physical activities, windows for natural view and light, acoustic ceiling for reducing noises, and efficient space use in a hospital should be improved. PART TWO 1. SPACE SYNTAX -I thought it would be analyzing and using space in efficiency. ACTIVITY-FRIENDLY ZONE - I thought it would be comfort zone such as place where you can take a rest. EVIDENCE BASED DESIGN - I thought it would be like space syntax, analyzing space figure in order to produce best use. 2. Space Syntax The term space syntax encompasses a set of theories and techniques for the analysis of spatial configurations. Originally it was conceived by Bill Hillier, Julienne Hanson and colleagues at The Bartlett, University College London in the late 1970s to early 1980s as a tool to help architects simulate the likely effects of their designs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_syntax Activity-Friendly zone Considering everyday physical activity, considering social and other supports or inpediements. Evidence based Design Evidence-based design is a process used by architects, interior designers, facility managers, and others in the planning, design, and construction of commercial buildings. An evidence-based designer, together with an informed client, ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence-based_design PART THREE This lecture was interesting in a way of developing the structure of building for people’s physical activity rather than only make it look nice. I think this evidence based design buildings will be benefit for our future architecture. Also looking at the question how design at different scale affects individuals and society, how characteristics and motivation of individuals and society affect design was quite interesting questions to mull it over. I realized constructing building should think about not only look, but also convenience such as environmental psychology, sociology, behavior. Ultimate design can not be determined without these factors. It is interesting that building makes us healthy. I remember the quote from Churchill in the slide show, now I understand what it meant. This method of building requires research and development at large. But I believe this should be promoted as future architecture above all. For example, hospitals will construct like this way in a future which are less dangerous, stressful and expensive. This is one of finalized architecture in between science and art. Thus, those hospitals will cure patients faster, and reduce health care assets. QUESTIONS 1. How long would it take to transfer all the hospitals in the way of evidence based design? 2. What is the barrier of building those hospitals? (expensive at first?) 3. How evidence based design building can be used other than hospitals? 4.Is there any government support on this subject? SEPT 19 07 PHOTOGRAPHY BY Ruth Dusseault PART ONE Summary: The concept of this lecture is the life cycle of the buildings. Many people think the buildings in the world built from nothing. However, if there is building, there is demolition because building has a life cycle. This lecture demonstrated the death of Atlantic Station, and birth of a new town. She explained in reading a personal essay with picture slide show. PART TWO 1. TOPOGRAPHY I did’t know what it meant at all. CAISSON I knew this vocabulary as a ‘box’. But in this lecture, caisson meant the 2wheeled horse drawn carriage, which brings peace and justice into a new town after the demolition of Atlantic Station VERNACULAR I thought it was something domestic, in lecture it meant the action of blooming local people 2. TOPOGRAPHY The shapes, patterns and physical configuration of the surface of the land, including its relief (local differences in elevation) and the positions of natural and man-made features. www.wisconline.com/wisconsin/geoprovinces/glossary.html CAISSON Caisson is a two-wheeled, horse-drawn carriage used to hold and transport the coffin during a military funeral or a state funeral. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caisson_(vehicle) VERNACULAR a localised style liked or performed by ordinary people. www.ffotogallery.org/th-edu/glossary.htm PART THREE I did not understand this lecture at first since it was different from previous lectures. I did not notice the crux of this lecture. It was about the life cycle of buildings. The historical Atlantic Station torn down, and gave birth to new town. Before this lecture, I thought architecture as only designing, concerning convenience, and connecting materials and human. However, there was the life of itself. It was interesting to see the death and birth of buildings in an hour lecture. Honestly during the lecture, I did not like the total concept. I thought demolition was only started from contractors, but there was something more. The memories of people were in building before demolition and starting a new life. QUESTIONS 1. I think it would be very messy to torn buildings down (dusts). What did constructors did for those matters? 2. For me, Atlantic Stations does not mean nothing but look old in pictures. I mean, what happened right before the demolition? It seemed there was nobody. When did it started not to use the Stations? 3. We saw the video of demolition scene. I thought there were not many workers with white cloth (maybe 5?). How/ what are work for? What are they doing exactly? 4.How long did it took start point(demolition) to end point(end of constructing new town)? SEPT 26 07 PALLADIO by Sonit Bafna PART ONE Summary: Mr. Bafna concentrated on style of Andrea Palladio, how his style is was significant during his days and today. Mr. Bafna introduced Palladio as renaissance man, beyond art and science, emphasizing proportions and qualities of his buildings. Palladio’s buildings are symmetrical, using not much of ornaments, using polygons in design, and can be divided by three parts in design. Building seemed simple outside, but well decorated in inside. He certainly has his style that distinguishes from other architecture. PART TWO 1. PALAZZO I had no idea what it meant. VILLAS I thought this word to be more of a village. But it actually refers to Roman mansions or country houses with a surrounding estate. KEYNOTE I thought this word as essence of his style, method and way of his design. 2. PALAZZO Palazzo is more broadly used in Italian than its English equivalent " Palace". It Italy, a palazzo is a grand building of some architectural ambition that is the headquarters of a family of some renown, or of an institution, or even, in modern times of what the English call "a block of flats." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palazzo VILLAS Villas were Roman mansions or country houses with a surrounding estate. They were built to a regular plan and often had luxury features such as bathhouses, under floor heating and mosaic floors. This way of life was soon copied by native Britons who gravitated towards this Roman ideal, although their attempts at this gentrification were rather more humble. www.teesarchaeology.com/glossary/ KEYNOTE •the principal theme in a speech or literary work •set the keynote of; "Comfort keynotes this designer's Fall collection" •a fundamental or central idea •tonic: (music) the first note of a diatonic scale •give the keynote address to (an audience) wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn PART THREE I was surprised that one architect has certain style and pushed it to the end. It was very interesting to see division of his building. I thought it was too simple, rather boring in design. However, I really loved the picture from the final slide show. I realized that architect who has been remembered have certain style and significance. QUESTIONS 1. What was the constructing method, reflecting the time period? 2. What is significant rather than his symmetrical design? 3. How did he started as an architect and developed (as a designer)? 4. Why did you pick Palladio for your presentation? assignment 09.16 Sept 10th 2007 Lecture ¨A multi disciplinary approach to disability research PART ONE Summary: Dr. Sprigle introduced how to approach disability projects with showing examples, data and definitions. Disability projects mainly include assistive technology and CATEA. Assistive technology is related assistance for individuals with disability, CATEA (Center for Assistive Technology & Environment Access) researches and outreach for accessible training and education programs. Overall conclusion of lecture was that disability research is complicated as subject forwarded to myriad approaches. He presented with basic concepts first, then showed examples. The terms of AT (assistive technology) and CATEA was emphasized. Also three main factors (Technical, business, human factors) were pointed out. PART TWO 1. At first, I thought AT is program that helps constructing building for disabilities in order to improve major life activities (including communication, ambulation and self-care, eating, dressing and bathing). I though environment access was disabilities access to real life such as working place. Also, Rehabilitation engineering gave me sense of treatment for physical activities in hospital. 2. Assistive Technology - any item, piece of equipment, or product system that is used to increase, maintains, or improves functional capabilities (Tech related assistance for individuals with disabilities, Act of 1988) EA of CATEA (Environment Access) - Accessibility of informal learning environment such as zoos, aquariums, amusement. Home design and modification should result in safe & functional living environments. Rehabilitation engineering - Improve workplace accessibility, create scientific knowledge to address problems faced by workers with disability and facilitate. AT and CATEA was crux of this lecture. These two main terms explained how it outreach accessible training and education programs, online tutorial and make possible face to face workshop. Also, both term related to engineering, architecture, industrial design, web design, programming, educational technology, physical, occupational and speech therapy as whole. PART THREE 1.What if the product is not popular enough to make profit to organization? Abort producing product? 2.Is there any support from the government? 3.In order to consider all of the matter (expense, convenience, etc), how long does it takes to produce? (from the start of design to mass producing) 4.What is it mean that developing accessible distance education focusing on 'STEM'? Sept 12th 2007 Lecture ¨AEC Integration, A view from the center PART ONE Summary: This lecture dug into the construction industry today, historical roots, project delivery model, meaning of integration, barriers, current industry and how it affect on Tech. The factors such as economic, manufacturing, transportation, services and group activities high lighted as consequence of integrations. Also focused on how contract relations evolved with time, how basis of industry today formed, and finally what can we do for this matter. The presentation was very detailed and accurate; there were a lot of terms in this lecture. The terms of turnkey and lean construction seemed important. PART TWO 1. I honestly had no idea what are the meaning of lean construction and life cycle costing. I thought the value engineering was considerate of supply chains and alliance contracting in order to make best profit for engineering business. 2. Lean Construction - A design and construction administration process which is designed to promote efficiency and eliminate waste. (www.theboldtcompany.com/mrc/terms.htm) Life Cycle Costing - A procurement evaluation technique which determines the total cost of acquisition, operation, maintaining and disposal of the items acquired; the lowest ownership cost during the time the item is in use. (www.mmd.admin.state.mn.us/mn06008.htm) Value Engineering - An analysis of materials, processes, and products in which functions are related to cost and from which a selection may be made so as to achieve the desired function at the lowest overall cost consistent with performance. (www.lancastercountyheritage.com/planning/cwp/view.asp) These vocabularies are significant to architectural and industrial design student which is their future vocabulary in their business. PART THREE 1.What is similarity between today's industry and medieval industry other than difference? (Contracting by separate trades, craft guilds established, payment by day or by pieces, relaxed schedule, procurement by reputation, management by client) 2.How can we monitor changes occurring in industry? 3.What is the way to encourage grad and post grad student from the view point of 'company'? 4.The 'project delivery model' is perhaps prototype. Is there any exception in order? Sept 14th 2007 Lecture ¨Geographic Information System: whenever/where matters. PART ONE Summary: Dr. French mainly focused on GIS, interpreting landscape with different factors. He showed us pictures of land covers (understanding with forest), thermo image, land suitability analysis, land use interpretation and also future condition of geographic circumstance. Ultimately this understanding of geographic condition goes with bases of city and regional planning. We saw a lot of different interpreted picture during the presentation which means there are many factors that effects regional planning. The terms of converging technology, GIS, remote sensing and GPS highlighted. PART TWO 1. I thought GIS is only about interpretation of different view point (population, employment density or energy consumption). Also, I thought regression analysis was opposite of city development. 2. Impervious Surface - Those surfaces in the landscape that can not infiltrate rainfall, such as rooftops, pavement, sidewalks, driveways and compacted earth. (www.greenworks.tv/stormwater/glossary.htm) Geographic Information System - An organized collection of computer hardware, software, geographic data, and personnel designed to efficiently capture, store, update, manipulate, integrate, analyze, and display all forms of geographically referenced information. (web2.gov.mb.ca/mli/glossary/e_l.html) Regression Analysis - Regression analysis is a tool used by economists and others to estimate the relationships among a dependent variable Y and one (or many) independent variable(s) X. The purpose of regression analysis is the "best fit" data points from a straight line down on an XY graph. (www.utmem.edu/CENTER/cgi/htmlos.cgi/004579.71.1265379809442816711) These terms are significant as they are used a lot in business. Understanding GIS will be helpful to architecture student. PART THREE 1.How GIS is related to industrial design student? 2.What is the progress of analyzing development consequences and visualizing alternate solution? 3.In these days there are so many databases. So does it mean there are limited or less subjects to research? 4.How long does it take to estimate, calculate and evaluate each photo image? (employment density and thermo image) assignment 09.09 1. Part One: Playback Aug 29 2007 Lecture Classical Architecture PART ONE Summary: The lecture was about classical design curriculum. The 7 architects from New York, Florida, Georgia showed their actual work, emphasized on classical vs. modern building. During this lecture, we mostly saw their perspective sketches, schematic drawings, details and elevation of the building; rather than the whole progress. I found that each architect had slightly different perspective, which made this lecture valuable. They found their own classical design from historical concepts, reforming, or following old procedure. PART TWO The lecture based on Power-point, 7architects showed their architectural design concepts. Each of them came out with similar but diverse perspective. They followed classical or historical concept, however, they certainly had specialty on different subject. Jeremy Sommer found his attribution from historical concepts, which based on history of architecture. I found his work was not too classic, but somewhere between less modern and more classical way. Trey LaFave have been working on reforming house, modify tedious house in custom, to grand classical way. William Rutedge from New York who is working for Fairfax & Sammons introduced traditional architecture for modern world. Stefanie Wahl, graduated from Georgia Tech, showed meticulous classical design of her. Mike Watkins, from Duany Plater Zyberk & Company, mentioned not only housing but town planning as well. David Pearson introduced condensed information on design process including schematic drawings. In this lecture, the classical architectural way (The form of style developed by the Greeks and Romans and revived during the Renaissance) was highlighted. The argument started between tangent line of classic and modern architectural way, how they accept and build structures. PART THREE I wondered how it is different from learning in school and working in actual field. Also, I want to know how it is different from working as a group and individual. Aug 31 2007 Lecture Solar Decathlon PART ONE Summary: The lecture focused on specific program called Solar Decathlon. Solar Decathlon is competition that many of engineering colleges participate, seeking for most attractive, efficient, and energy-saving solar- powered house. The firmness (suitability, material), commodity (facility of program) and delight (comprehensive) are the main points of this subject. The speaker introduced this program, how he progressed with software and how it completed. PART TWO This lecture concentrated on introducing program, concise and lucid than last lecture. However, it was not simple as it looked. Building solar-powered house was not just ¡®building house¡¯. The question asked was the traditional model of the design studio viable, cross-disciplinary collaboration better prepare students for the team based professional world, and a place in the design education for both methods. The collaboration vs. isolation and the importance of process (drawing what I see, build what I draw- from critically looking, to designing, and to building-) were spotlighted. PART THREE Solar-powered houses are effective and efficient, I wonder why there aren¡¯t so many. Also why group projects are uneasy to join? Sept 5 2007 Lecture CADCAM PART ONE Summary: The lecture showed the whole progress of constructing artifacts. The speaker explained each step of making structure, clarified relation between designers, architects, fabricators and contractors as well. The using of computer software was emphasized, which called ¡®translation¡¯, communicating with computer programs. We saw the progress of speaker¡¯s four main works and design which was wooden and three plastic. The development of idea in order was considered focus point in this lecture. PART TWO The lecture was very detailed, realistic and valuable in the way of showing the construction process from start to end. The speaker explained what he is been doing, going to do, how to build structures in Tech with facilities in GT, why and how it affect us. First, he gave details of CADCOM (computer aided design, computer aided manufacturing). The linear design process showed the order of creating, conception to development, documentation, production and assembly. The designer and architect develop, put ideas in stimulation as prototype model, fabricate, product with CNC machine (through G-code; make geometrical representation), and contractor finally put on assembly. The speaker told that ¡®schedule¡¯ is most important matter in construction, which means system of representation. (Calculate every matter, even waste amount) The questions asked in this lecture was how new tools, technology, procedure effect the design and production of our built environment. Also, how technologies change the relation between architects and constructors, medieval concept of master builder reemerge in the 21st century, and how technologies influenced 20th century notions of design, aesthetics, ornament, structure and style. PART THREE How can I ask GT to do these projects? How may I get a permission to attach projects like wooden and plastic configurations? assignment 08.29 Wooden structure Description The structure fundamentally made of plywood (about 25different shapes) and metals (nuts, volts, screws, screw axis, washers, hollow cylinders and flat flanges -about 15different kinds-). None of the joints are soldered as far as I figured. It simply screwed on axis one by one. I could observe the bended parts (cascade parts) are actually built with different pieces. The use of flat flanges starts at banister on second floor. On the second floor, the wooden structure is safely tightened with metal pieces (tightened on banister). On third floor, the structure is hanging on banister as well. There are two ends that one is hanging on banister, one is simply stretched. Between each wooden plank, there are hollow cylinders, in order to give this certain structure same intervals (similar proportions). I counted the number of the vertical planks, and it was made of 80. Thus, the chair is made of 79intervals x 3pieces between each interval = 237 237 + (3 pieces in both ends x 2) = 243 Also, this structure is not painted. I could observe that each plank have certain grain of wood. Also, there were no splinters. As we know this structure is in inside the building and lights on all night, it does not really have different mood. However, it¡¯s quite different during the early morning and night time. The shines through glass door and ceiling expose this structure in bright light. The joint of sunshine and wood made unique sensation. There was no difference on rainy day. Speculation Designer might had a question before he/she built this structure. ¡°How am I going to connect this chair to second and third floor?¡± I think that was the main challenge for the designer. Interesting part of this structure is the purpose of this structure. It¡¯s ultimately a long chair. However, unusually its sitting part is vertically built. That makes this structure very unique and interesting. The climax of this structure is in the ¡®cascade¡¯ of wood. When I look down this structure from second floor, I could taste the idea of builders¡¯ wooden impression. This structure gives calmness into the building. I will name this structure ¡®cascade wooden chair¡¯ since I felt exactly that way. In my judgment, it might have built from the bottom. Perhaps divide this structure by 10 pieces (about 24 pieces of plywood) and added together. The plastic structure Description This structure is basically built with plastic (perhaps, acrylic resin) and metal (2kinds of nuts and three kinds of volts). Since it¡¯s made of plastic matter, none of the part is soldered but tightened. The structure starts with pile of plastic (about 157 layers). The total 157 layers (start point) diverge into basically 12 parts (23layers) and start to grow taller up to about 8ft. The 12parts (middle part) are built like rectangular pipes. There is no use of brackets because plastic is already bent for volts and nuts. The pipes get wavy as it stretches out. The metal connections are used every three or four inches. The middle part goes around the pillar of the building. After it goes around the pillar, the rectangular shape closes here, each board start to twist. Fundamentally, the structure is twisted 180degree. The twist actually starts from the pillar. It seemed abstract at first, but it has certain pattern. The end of structure is astride on the building. For safety, there are strings (4left) which connect building and structure. Not like wooden structure, this one gets affect enormously by the weather. I could observe throughout sunny, dark, raining and soggy condition. Under the sunlight, light goes through like prism. Also, I could observe the dust between each connection. During the rainy days, water goes through between layers. There are holes (12 to 15) in contacted layers. (I believe these holes are for water to dry but I couldn¡¯t figure out the meaning of positions of holes.) The end of this structure is about 18 of round edges; each made of two layers. Speculation Overall, this structure is quite complicate one. I think it took a lot of time to measure, calculate and cut. However, I am concerning durability of this structure. Since material is weak for heat and weight, I believe this could melt or broke. I am not so sure about the bottom pipe which looks melted. The structure under sunny day was truly beautiful. Also I¡¯ll give credit for its transparent character. It keeps good company with window of the building. From the inside of the building, it looks nice with the sunlight. Also from the outside of the building, it gives the building with creative look. I¡¯ll name this structure ¡®jellyfish (or squid)¡¯. It looks like a jellyfish which have transparent body with a lot of legs. Link to this Page
