Steps :
Tests to determine the material and the forces at work on it:
Make a frame work to tie the form
Leave some parts hanging onto gravity
Apply paper mache/resin and let it dry
Experiment 1
Material- Glass Fibre
Hardening substance- Resin
Wooden framework: 3000mmx3000mm
Cloth: Length- 2600mm Width- 2600mm Fabric sag- 600mm
Using plastic as the base support, the middle formwork was achieved and the curving sags created by the glass fibre were controlled.
Stretching the plastic from the edges gave a comparitively flat surface at the intersection.
Using a cotton cloth as a stencil we derived the geometry on the glass fibre.
Using the exhibition stands as supporting posts we let the resign applied glass fibre to rest on it giving it a form of a pavilion.
