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:

• 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.
