Standard Joint (pictured left) the right side here will read more dominantly. Untreated wood will biodegrade without any issue. Usable scraps to Reuse Stations, unusable scraps to wood dumpster behind shop. Tilia Americana (American Basswood) DISPOSAL The tree becomes mature in 10вЂ“15 years at which point it is harvested and cut down to desired sizes, then shipped. The American Basswood tree is native to states as far west as Minnesota and as far south as Missouri, stretching all the way to the east coast. Cuts with the grain must be carefully made to ensure the blade does not follow the slight curve of the grain instead of the straight edge cuts against the grain must be scored and made in a number of passes.

Basswood accepts all types of glues, especially craft glues, and can be cut by hand at thicknesses up to 1/8вЂќ. Sheets, Rods, Dowels, Structural Shapes DESCRIPTIONД®xcellent modeling material.

Almost all cuts are best made with multiple, low pressure passes-this reduces the chance of slipping and increases the precision of the cut.Д«alsa wood grain types Tangent (A), quarter (B), and random (C) grain types SAFETY NOTESДЄlways be careful when cutting-use a sharp blade. Untreated wood will completely biodegrade without any issue. Ochroma Lagopus (Balsa Wood Tree) DISPOSAL Balsa wood enjoys a relatively quick regrowth rate of 6вЂ“10 years. These trees donвЂ™t grow in farms, and tend to be harvested directly from the jungle. Trees harvest for balsa wood can be found in northern South America, and 90% of all balsa wood comes from Ecuador. Because the wood is so light, it also distorts under pressure from anything but the sharpest blade, making clean joins more difficult to make. The very apparent and sloppy looking grain keeps balsa in the realm of mostly massing or sketch models. USESД«alsa wood is easier to cut and lighter than basswood, but much more difficult to make into a good looking model. Tan, heavy grained and slightly textured wood.

It constantly changes and reacts with its surroundings like weather and music performance. Undefined open space does not mean an empty space. Undefined open space is spatial medium, which can be used as multi-purpose space and also extended for supporting other programs. Open System as Programmatic and Spatial Concept: The interaction and relationship between the disparate materials create a new distinct language, each iteration depicted a stronger expression without losing its original identity. These formal languages, physical models, were parsed through the lens of various mediums, in which the translation between different materials and methods was an open system that allowed the model to develop a new character or identity. Initial departure for the project consists of generating a formal language for what is to be called an open system.
