Project 1: RARE Architecture (Mod-5) relocatable classrooms - part 7

Trial model
Material: Sticks and plastersine
The sticks represent the structure and the plastersines are the ball joints.



The trial model was a failure, it could not stand on its own. However, we did learn from this that the structure needs to have a more stronger and stable shape; like trusses. The ball joints also did not work because it does not allow the structure's shape to be altered without breaking apart, so another type of joint design is in order.
