Using strips as a base element allows great opportunity

for relationships and pathways between the lines. They

have the ability to change direction, reconnect to where

they started, move through different parameters and be

influenced by surrounding fields. Loop_3 by Co-de-iT

architects particularly employs the idea of strips looping

back around itself, gravitating back to a central pull, and

bending around pulled out points. It seems as if there are

pressure points or gravitational pulls which influence the

direction of the curves.

Strips and folding might also be used as a definition of

surface. In Silico’s Curved Folding Pavilion applies the

idea of individually manufactured strips which fit together

neatly along their sides to form an overall surface.

The Archepelago Pavilion lends itself somewhat to In

Silico’s approach, where it uses individual strips to make up

a surface. Differently however, the strips create a smooth

finish and almost seamless surface of the structure. It is as

if strips and folding is used to panel the piped nature of

the pavilion.

I think there is something very interesting about the idea

of densities. It suggests a variation in activity, where some

parts may be concentrated and others less dynamic. All are

important to achieve a well balanced atmosphere, particularly

at Ceres, where there is a great need for simple open space,

to accommodate for students, animals, and general agricultural

work. It is also important, to have a hub of activity, similar to

the fruit market area, where there is a sense of community and

mutual appreciation of what is achieved.

SYSTEMS

When I visited Ceres, I noticed that there were little systems across

the fields, separated into working cells. For example, the chicken

coop had its own private quarters, next to the vege patch where

each bed was neatly cropped and separated into vegetable type.

There is an obvious translation between garden bed and fruit

stall box, between chicken and free range eggs, where Ceres

participate in all of the stages mainting the animals and site. They

are incredibly proficient and self-suficient in there ways.

My proposal is a chicken / garden feeder / water dispenser suit

that is worn on the body, a uniform for workers while carrying

out daily tasks. I realise it is a very radical idea, however one of

my strongest impressions of Ceres is that it is all incredibly labour

intensive. I think that the human connection to the crops and

animals is very important, so I would not want to remove them,

but potentially create a feeding uniform, which is more efficient.

Because of the small scale, responding only to a human body, the

suit has the potential to be manually operated.
