Aim:
To test the construction system required to build a P.O.D.S (Private Occupational Development Space).
Hypothesis:
The system will hold up
Materials:
12 x 3m grey electrical conduit pipes
2 x 1 roll of white electrical tape
Methodology:
1. Put together five rings by inserting the wider tube into the smaller
2. Connect the last pipe at one end to create a long 6m pipe
3. Place the 5 rings along the pipe in their rough location
4. Joint the rings at each junction on the pipe to the long 6m tube
5. Connect the ends of the six meter tube
Results:
The pipes did not stand alone and hence the structure could not balance by itself
Analysis:
The pipes needed to be connected in the center to balance. The central ring that all the others were anchored off feel to the ground. This central ring needed to be placed on the ground. Hence, the overall balance was off and needed structural reinforcement in the center of the structure.
Experiment 2
Aim:
To test the use of a switches/buttons to allow the building user to manipulate the PODS to their own chosen configuration.
Hypothesis:
The pressing of buttons will allow the movement and shifting of pods to personalize the chosen configuration of the building. The user will discover the tracks on which the PODS move by presssing the buttons and seeing the path it follows, hence making a conscious decision as to where the PODS should sit.
Materials:
UT3
Photoshop
Adobe Premier Pro
Solid Works
3Ds MAx
Fraps
Methodology:
Allow a user to enter the site via UT3 and move towards miniture versions of the PODS they would like to move. As one moves forward and touches the PODS it will move according to the designated invisible track and when one moves back it will stop....configure the space to your own ideal set up.
Results:
The PODS were positioned to the users chosen configuration
Analysis:
There needs to be more users who hop into the game and try out the given test as the success cannot be determined by the current number of tests undertaken.
Experiment 3
Aim:
To Experience a POD and get direct feedback as to its internal possible function and success of that function.
Hypothesis:
The feedback will enhance the next stage of the POD development
Materials:
UT3
Solidwords
3Ds MAx
Methodology:
1. Walk up to "Inside this PODS" on UT3 and you will be placed inside the chosen PODS
2. Walk around the PODS and when ready exit where you entered
3. get onto this Blog page....jodilindenberg.blogspot.com and review each POD as they are listed in a BLOG dated Wednesday Sept 24th. Answer the three provided questions for each POD.
Results:
Still to be determined by analysis of questionnaire on blog
