Photo op

Yesterday while it was still dry and sunny Bob Marshall and I had a look at the SoundUnit from a photographers point of view. From extreme distorting wideangle to flattening tele.

Edge and floor

Subbase

We were lucky to finish the brickwork last week while it was still dry. Now we hope to construct the concrete floor, which will be cast on the subbase.

The images of today show the compacted ‘MOT Type 1′ and an indication of the shape or edge of the concrete. We will add to the concrete some black dye to colour it as dark as possible. The triangular line in the floor will be steel, and refers to the string used to create the shape of the ellipse with three foci. I used strings to draw this shape at the beginning to sketch and draw the initial ideas and Robin Hankin created an algorithm to make it possible to model it in 3D. Now its great to see the result of this mixture of digital and tactile way of working.

Today the Project group (Reps of University, Rolls-Royce and CDC)  had a meeting about the opening. Probably somewhere in November but more about that later…
