Crit Day

Crit Sheet

Presentation day - Due to weather conditions I did not have much physical work to show on site. 

We presented to our tutors, and guests for 20 minutes, in powerpoint form. 

The feedback was all positive, (the sheet above) .

I had various models to show at 1:50 how elements would go together 

Tyre foundations with plinth wall.

Possible adaptation into mortise and tenon joints

willow weaved plinth wall.

Main points from the crit: write-up wise, get my facts and sources figured out.

build the best possible for the site, and then have write up and theory behind the adaptations.

Sketchings out on site

Sketching/Doodling... the best way to remember is not to forget....

on site sketches

Alternative options for making the base and top ladders out of the Branches and Timbers I have at home on site.

Using a timber frame with mortise and tenon joints with pegs to hold the bales in compression.

This will eliminate the need for wires and lorry straps and can make a very aesthetically pleasing feature to the finished building.

For temporary structures like the one I will be erecting, Tyre foundations are useful if you have them lying around like we do.  They are easy to ram with earth and also have a bit of give from concrete foundation rigidity.
