Fragments from a walk –
Phase one –
Photograph in site, measure distances –
Select 3 plam-to-hand size fragments from a walk arround campus. Aim for a range of qualities in your. Fragments should be selected from 3 distinct locations. They can be natural or manmade. Before removing the fragments from their locations,document each one. Photograph in situ, measure distances from any surrounding landmarks, and maje note of surrounding materials(dirt,grass, rack, vegetation, water etc.,).

Phase three –
design a wooden mass –
Next step was to design a mass that incorporates all 3 voids for the fragments collected. The design of the container must fully enclose the voids and must balance mass and void according to a clear design logic. The overall volume of the container should not exceed 3375 in3

Phase four –
photograph then expose the voids –
After that each was asked to cut her/his box into several pieces, identify 3-5 orthogonal cuts that will reveal the voids, each cut should pass entirely through the box. At a minimum, you must expose all three voids. keep all pieces. sand each piece

Phase five –
construct the terrain –
As a team we worked to construct the terrain for the next phase. The terrain was composed of stacks of cardboard and organized according to a 9-rectangle grid. Each rectangle was a 13” x 19” site per student. In concert with the drawings, we begin working on the model. Each box was located on the surface of its designated cardboard plinth. As a group we found a temporary methods for visualizing the levels of inundation in the space of the model. we cannot eliminate material (cardboard or wood), i.e. any additions (fill) must come from subtracted cardboard (cut). Each student was responsible for envisioning and designing for change through 7” of water rise due to poleward shift.
