For Friday, Sept. 7

Read Atlas of Novel Tectonics by Reiser + Umemoto (entire book)

Submit 2 printed paragraph long questions from the reading at the start of class.

Construct 10 (5 for each building) models  at the same size, with the same material and same requirements as previous study models. In this iteration study the termination of structural members. Thus, rather than stopping at a wall, floor plate or ground you will demonstrate the connection through.

*Piano wire- many of you are working with cable systems, please consider using a closer representation of this material. Hal's Hobby Warehouse on Lee Trevino sells Piano Wire. You don't want to use wire that has been rolled as it will curl, rather you can buy small gauge in straight lengths, easy to cut and control in your models.
