What is a Partition?

ps e

t

JL Andrus

A partition is an object that separates spaces. It screens views by removing visuals and regulates passage. Distinguished from walls by movability, disconnection from vertical and/or horizontal surfaces, and retained light and sound permeability, partitions can be screens, curtains, book shelves and clothes racks.

My room divider will refl ect and amplify sound, perhaps based on the way a sea shell or mountain echo works. It will also potentially produce sound and will show changes in sound by it’s shape. Ideally this partition will not exceed 8’ in height and 2’ in depth, and will be a minimum of 6’ in length.

Ambiant sound travels in and is refl ected out. With multiple openings (and the possibility of varying sizes), a multitude of ocean like sounds would escape, producing a relaxing effect. Perfect for the offi ce or bedroom, the relaxation wheel willl keep the conditions calm, with the posibility of turning annoying noises into pleasant music. Great on the dash-board of any car in rush hour traffi c.

1. cut out two semi-cicular shapes from sheet of bronze. Leave a little extra piece for the opening.

2. Using heat, wrap each of the two shapes into cones of the same diameter. Weld the tips to tack in place.

3. Line up the two cones and weld together. Sand and polish as nessacery.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 until there are 8 shells. Arrange them in a spin wheel pattern with all the openings facing the same direction

UBULARKINETICS

Fabrication

In order to properly construct this instrument, it must be broken down into pieces. The initial parts should be built by size and then by thickness starting with the largest and thickest. Imperative is choosing the scale of the whole piece before begining, as the relative sizes and thickness will result from those fi ndings/studies. This instrument is meant to be variable as a xylophone, ranging from the size of a car, down to the size of a bag.

After choosing the scale and determining if any of the smallest pieces can actually be produced while retaining it’s hollow form, slice bronze sheets into the appropriate sized rectangles and truncated circles. When all the pieces of one thickness, or set, have been cut, move on to the next thickness until all the pieces have been cut. At this point the tubes and truncated cones are formed by curving the precut pieces. When that is completed, you weld the tube and cone together and smooth and polish by sanding with progressively smaller grit. Repeating this process several times, anywhere from 88 to144 pieces will be created and ready to assemble. As most of the pieces will be welded into one another, connecting the sets is unnecessary. Only at the end will extra parts need to be attached either using wooden screw posts, or a tightly wrapped aluminium.

This percussion instrument has now been completed and is ready to play, either by rain and hail outside or by a musician striking its surface with porcelain tipped mallets to create the unique sound.

Description

Combining a brass instrument’s tubular shape and conical end with a natural or human initiated hammer system, a new musical tool is born. This interestingly shaped partition has four rows of varying pipe sizes, each row, although retaining the same outter dimensions, has a differing inner thickness. Due to both the size and depth of the rings, a unique sound escapes when the surfaces are hit, creating over 80 separate tones. Unlike horns, this instrument is intertwined in addition to being somewhat twisted, creating further resonation which in turn produces evolving notes.

As the body is struck similarly to a xylophone, there are multiple options for size, within a proportionally equivalent system and could be constructed of both metal and wood. Due to the size range, this object has the potential of being played by multiple people or with multiple sizes of porcelain tipped mallets. It can be a permanent fi xture, as in an organ, or easy to pack up in a velvet lined case like a saxophone.

1. Cut out a rectangle and truncated circle on bronze sheets. Repeat 35 more times, one for each size variant. Repeat last step 3 more times to account for each sheet thickness.

2. Curve rectangle into a tube and truncated circle into a truncated cone. Weld the 2 cooresponding pieces together; smooth and polish.

3. Arrange tubes in size order with each tubes large opening facing the opposite direction.

4. After completing each of the 4 sets, decide where the tubes should connect. Number and drill holes accordingly.

5. Weld the pieces in place. Smooth and patina as desired. Seal.

Partition

As a wall or separator of spaces, the instrument functions well. It can be stacked up with others of itself to create walls, or spaced out to create interesting spaces between, or blown-up and used as a climbing wall or bridge or arch.

As water, ice or a mallet strikes the surface, sound waves travel outward, often through multiple exits. There is also the potential to have these sound waves refl ect off surfaces to create longer or constantly changing notes, without use of a pedal.

gebäude highriseANGIOSPERM EXPLORATIONBELOW AND ABOVE GROUND CONDITIONS

BRIEFUsing biomimicry as a starting point, exploring architecture through the key points of Infrastructural Urbanism. Ideas such as adaptability, fl exibility, anticipatory, responsiveness, contraction/expansion, obsolescence, ruination and abandonment are the primary considerations in addition to designing for the possibility of pre-fabrication.

Uniquely, this projects site was specifi ed to reside attached to, or within a pre-existing parkade structure in downtown Calgary, therefore becoming a parking and residential building with the option of adding additional components. Although requiring a collaboration between these two relitively separate conditions, reconditioning the parkade altogether was not discouraged, if this change benifi tted the idea as a whole.

Through the building, the structure and vertical transportation will trade places causing both inversion and transition. This idea will be further continued by creating inverse conditions of private and public between the top and bottom of the building.

Potentially, a lot will be purchases or rented seperately from the units. These homes could be moved in and out within the building, or be traded out or renovated to larger or smaller units. Owners even have the choice to move their unit to another site or to another building with compatible voids.
