using the golden ratio, 1.6, to inform what size cylinder we will make.
We’ve decided to go with 25cm High including lid height. which means our base circumfrence is 49.06cm
hight/ratio = diamiter * pie = circumfrence 25/1.6 = 15.625 * 3.14 = 49.06
Today Minjoo asked Creig to set up a bamboo setting with her so now we have 1.83mm Bamoo ply setting on the laser cutter.
It is burning less and it gives you the clean cut.
Here are the shadow of the plateau on the wall
and on the ceiling.
We were thinking of overlapping both ends together to fixetate but we thought it might be hard if we were to put another 2 cylinders on top of other cylinder.
Therefore we made a conclusion that if we have a hole on both ends and pin it together it will make a perfect cylinder. Fin went to get a pin from bunnings in tory street.
Thinking about the golden ratio we were also thinking about how to make our models in adjustable ways.
One of them stretch in landscape and changes their size wide
and one of them stretches in horizontal and changes their height.
our aim is to minimalize materials for the sustainable purpose therefore we might keep it the way it is and just change our model into golden ratio for the balance.
Golden Ratio White cylinder beside our original prototype.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that we will stop our process and play in the safe zone but when we figure out the size of our cylinder we want to try something new such as making the model adjustable or more customizable but minimalizing the material as our purpose.
