thinking studio - design showcase 2013
DESCRIPTION
The studio attemps to replicate the condition of a deer running through the corn field. The subject is inside a foliage in which he can’t easily walk through, it is not a rational system, but a system which estimulates the writer’s thinking process. It is a studio for precarious thinking; it is the gazing-thinking-writing studio for the book entitled “From Computer and Beyond.”TRANSCRIPT

Concept summary
The ends of the steel columns are welded to steel plates, which is then bolted to the Steel beam. The columns are also to receive a high gloss painted �nish.

This base connection is a pin connection. It has only one bolt going through a lapped type connection, therefore it can permit rotation.
A pin connection works essentially like a lapped joint. It transfers vertical and horizontal shearloads and cannot resist any bending or moment (rotational) forces. The amount of load to be
transferred through the joint will determine the size of the bolt and the plate thickness. The diameter of the bolt must be large enough to have enough cross sectional area to handle the
shear force. The thickness of the plate must be adequate, when combined with the bolt diameter, to resist pull through.
The ends of the branches of the tree will be inserted into this pin connection. As can be seen from this image, all of the columns meet their pins at slightly di�erent angle.

The studio attemps to replicate the condition of a deer run-
ning through the corn field. The subject is inside a foliage in
which he can’t easily walk through, it is not a rational system,
but a system which estimulates the writer’s thinking process.
It is a studio for precarious thinking; it is the gazing-thinking-
writing studio for the book entitled “From Computer and
Beyond”
