O(U)R EXPERIENCE
Professors Vikramaditya Prakash and Professor Mark M. Jarzombek commissioned an exhibition through the Fabrication Lab at the College of Built Environments to showcase six of their futuristic projects they have created over the years through their firm Office of (Un)Certainty Research. Their work speaks about futures we should be designing for related to climate change, traditions, ceremonies and the necessary research needed for combining humanities and sciences.
Through this design we created a floor plan of the winding wall that would work with the existing gallery, created enough space for the viewers of the exhibit and kept the fire exits clear for safety. We then designed and CNCed plywood plates that would house the 2x4 studs. These plates acted as the structure and design throughout the wall's assembly by creating the curves needed for a smooth wall and the ability to make it stand. The wall was made of 36 different plate-2x4 units that were bolted together, stretching about 125’ in length. Once these units were in place, sheets of flexible thin plywood were attached to the studs, then a thin layer of plaster on the uneven joints to smooth out the surface for the final vinyl sheet to be assembled on top.
