Casting with Air
EXPERIMENT 1
AIM: To obtain an investigation into phenomenological, geometrical and volumetric aspects through experiments of air casting.
MATERIALS - 8 kg Cement ,9 Durable thick rubber Baloon,Water:Cement 1:1 ratio,Plastic box container 45x14.5x9 cm
PROCEDURE:
Take the plain cement and mix it with water in 1:1 /2 ratio to make a fluid plain cement mix without aggregate.
Fill up the container by compacting air balloons in the container keep the radius in a range of 50-70 mm.
Pour the PCC mix into a container of balloons and put a heavyweight over the box to counter the buoyant force experienced by submerged balloons.
Let this set up dry for 24 hours after
Remove the hardened PCC block from the by overturning it burst out the balloons the experiments generate a box with different surfaces and porosities.
EXPERIMENT 2
AIM: To obtain an investigation into phenomenological, geometrical and volumetric aspects through experiments of air casting.( controlling the geometry through the idea of form and order
MATERIALS - 12 kg Cement ,2 Durable thick rubber Baloon,Cement:Sand:Water 2:1:1 ratio,Plastic box ,container 45x14.5x9 cm
PROCEDURE:
Take the plain cement and mix it with sand and water a 2:1:1 ratio to make a spreadable concrete mix of sand and cement.
Fill up the container with compacting air balloons in the container to keep the radius in a range of 80-90 mm.
Pour the PCC mix into a container of balloons and put a heavyweight over the box to counter the buoyant force experienced by submerged balloons.
Let this set up dry for 24 hours after
Remove the hardened PCC block from the by overturning it burst out the balloons the experiments generate a box with different surfaces and porosities and a geometric order is tested in this experiment.
EXPERIMENT 3
AIM: To obtain an investigation into phenomenological, geometrical and volumetric aspects through experiments of air casting. ( controlling the geometry through the idea of form and order) .Testing out the role of light and surfaces for different porosities.
MATERIALS - 15 kg Cement , Durable thick rubber Baloon,Cement:Sand:Water 2:1:1 ratio,Plastic box ,container100 x45x10 cm
PROCEDURE:

Pour the PCC mix into a container of balloons and put a heavyweight over the box to counter the buoyant force experienced by submerged balloons.
Let this set up dry for 24 hours after
Remove the hardened PCC block from the by overturning it burst out the balloons the experiments generate a box with different surfaces and porosities and a geometric order is tested in this experiment.
