Week 4 Review


Group Members: Pierce Wolcott, Alexandro Flores

Problem: There is not enough sitting space or enclosed spaces that balance the separation of the park from the city.

Solution: We plan to design flexible boardwalks and benches that are enveloped by loosely woven rubber meshes.

Tire Usage: The tires will be used whole in the supports for the boardwalk and the benches. If weaving the shredded tires into a mesh is feasible, the enclosure could be made of tires too.

Question: what are our options for manipulating the tires' material

  2. Since we can’t granulate it, cutting or using as a whole would be one of the solutions. If you are cutting it you can give shape to it or knit it.
