The development of Mutant Brush into the fabrication phase has involved the production of multiple prototypes, ending in two functional nodes.

[idea and fabrication design]
Lost in translation 2.0 is the result of the convergence of two former projects, Lost in translation 1.0 and xxx. Its consists in a portable personal canopy to be put over one of the granite benches in the plaza de Santa Ana. The canopy could potentially incorporate various functionalities / devices, like lighting, vaporized water nozzles, sound and/or video…
The canopy in the actual instance that we are trying to fabricate incorporates a folded flexible cardboard skin that uses hair pins in its construction.

Botte-mote departed from the implementation of small plastic bottle as a joint [rótula] that was first built with cardboard. Then the team went on exploring the potential of the mechanism, prototyping it in 3mm plywood.
Several applications of the mechanism were developed, combining multiple joints in scissor like devices. One of the possible applications to be presented in the Plaza de Santa Ana will be small tables to accompany the existing benches, that we may use to put our fliers.
Experimentation with joints went on into the design fabrication phase building various small multi-articulated structures that can be transformed by the public… The mechanism could be thought of as the basis for larger structures to be used in public space.

Eventually today, mid afternoon, we made the brief presentation about “Free licenses, intellectual property and digital fabrication” that was followed by a very active discussion on the possibilities of translating the free software open source mode of production and distribution into digital fabrication of everyday objects, and even architecture…
Yes, we have moved the workshop final presentation for Monday, October 25th at 18:30 h. More soon.

An-forme prototype 2010.10.22

Reciclado An-forme
Nuestra propuesta nace de la necesidad de sombra en verano, de intimidad, de luz, protección, de la necesidad de interacción entre las personas y del reciclaje en lugares públicos.
Proponemos un tejido formado por la repetición de una pieza, creando tramas y colonizando el lugar de manera an-forme.
El diseño de la pieza surge de las reglas del “nesting” y del concepto de tesela o mosaico. Esta pieza ha sido pensada para ser solapada con otras y para sostener una luz o una botella reciclada.
En el caso concreto de la plaza de Santa Ana, las farolas sostendrán el tejido an-forme. Los transeúntes podrán poner su botella reciclada completando el diseño y la forma final de esta etapa.
En otros espacios públicos, otras formas podrán ser creadas.

Recycle Anforme
Our Project comes from the need of light , shade, intimacy, protection , people’s interaction and recycle in public spaces.
With this in mind we set up a textile made out of the repetition and combination of a module , creating a net and colonizing the space in a an-forme way (not specific shape).
The module´s design emerge from the “nesting” rules and from the mosaic concept. This piece has been thought in order to be solapada with others. Also the module has a hole where a light or a bottle could be hanged.
Thinking in Santa Ana square ,an-forme will be hanged from the light farolas. The passengers will be able to put their plastic bottles finishing the design process at this stage .
In other public spaces, other shapes could emerge.

Beginning with the official schedule of day 05 we have had a meeting in which we distributed coordination responsibilities. The idea now would be to start working as one single group through the fabrication process and toward tomorrows final presentation. We agreed on the following structure of responsible people for the different areas:
General coordination & logistics: Isabel and Paula
Flyers and blogging: Fran F. Gallardo
Panels: Lucas
Documentation [photography]: Silvia
Fabrication: Fran +
Thingiverse uploading: Laura

Day 04 [yesterday]… 5 projects passed into the design phase… Teams were working in moving on from idea to fabrication design: cutting / prototyping their various pieces, and building their first versions of the pieces. This allowed most teams to fine tune fabrication details and general geometry, in order to have the final cutting files ready for Friday [today].
Projects / teams in this phase include:
1/ Mutant broom / spatial structure with digitally fabricated nodes and broom stick bars
2/ An-forme / textile-urban-roof-canopy incorporating plastic bottles
3/ Shining honey [former Multireflecting lamp] / hexagonal lamps with aluminum cooking containers
4/ Bote-mote / scissor structures with small plastic bottles articulation
5/ Bench-canopy / section structure with deploye cardboard covering
Fourth prototype node Mutant broom _ late hour of Thursday
Prototyping ane-forme
At the end of the day we are a half day behind schedule. We are going to be working in the morning to recover the lost time. Through the day, depending on the level of development, we will see which and how many of the projects will eventually be built.

El proyecto parte de la idea de la colonización de un espacio a través de huertos vegetales.
Se inicia a través del reciclaje de una botella, para su uso como macetero.
El nexo de unión que se propone entre la botella y la estructura portante es el tapón. Anclando el tapón a la estructura, cada ciudadano podrá hacer su aportación individual con una botella y con un cultivo distinto.
Una de las características principales del tapón de la botella son sus medidas estándar para casi todas las botellas.
En cuanto a la estructura la pieza modular que la compone, es el resultado de la finalidad que va a tener la misma y del mejor aprovechamiento de la plancha de madera de donde se cortan. Obteniendo al final una pieza con forma de doble L.
Se propone una estructura atravesada por patios, capaz de mejorar la ventilación y el soleamiento de las plantas, consiguiendo una estructura muy porosa. De esta forma cuando las plantas comiencen a crecer colonizarán los patios en vertical.
Además esta estructura permite el anclaje de botellas tanto en vertical como en horizontal. Aprovechando el peso de las mismas para el mejor asentamiento de la estructura a través del peso de las botellas-macetas.
