Weekly Progress 6



By this week our group had re modelled the Bus Stop Design and created AutoCAD and Illustrator documents in order to laser cut a 1/5 prototype model of the Bus Stop.

The model incorporated our rod through the entire structure idea.







This week we also met with Hank in the Studio and had a major discussion with both groups, Russell and himself. We went over various connection methods and design changes that he wanted implemented.
These changes included no gutter or back part of the roof, which were part of the original designs as well as keeping to the snake theme which we seemed to be straying away from.

He also seemed intent on making the project using only the fabrication lab CNC cutters which could only cut to a max depth of 12mm with an approx. area of 1.2m x 0.8m. This meant changing our whole idea of using Anthony Chami's cousins larger cnc cutter which could be used to cut the larger sections in one piece. 

This resulted in many design changes and caused many deadline dates to have to be changed.
The meeting produced these drawings on a whiteboard:
