Material Test

Gabion walls are mainly made up of a steel wire mesh basket filled with stones. They are usually found on embankments and highway retaining walls.

Because of its strength, versatility and constructability, recent use has found its way to the NATO forces , differing from the usual gabion by using a huge sandbag instead of stones.

Today, they have found its way into my design.

Aside from its strength, low maintenance, versatility and ease of construction, the gabion walls, if the right thickness can produce an excellent lighting effect.

Today's Tutorial

Since this is my first post on this project, allow me to explain.
Our project requires us to design a rock climber's clubhouse on the site of a popular rock face in Batu Caves.

I choose to build at the top of the cliff.

My concept is about movement. Rock climbers move an enjoyable awful lot, hence the dynamic design that suggest movement.

Each of the three spaces have very different feels, brought about by the different views, size of space and different lighting qualities.



Brought my drawings today, edited my model but I don't like the new addition.

Showed Ms. Veronica my drawings:

Ms. V: Where's the context?
-I haven't done that yet.

Ms. V: You have to show the context, where it connects to the cliff.

Ms. V: You should show the walls as cut-sections of the gabions, not just solid walls.


Asked about safety rails/balustrades:

Ms. V: Usually its assumed that the safety rails are there on the model but you have to show them on your drawings.

Overall comments:

-Your form is good, start drawing first before proceeding further with the design.
-Need to show context in drawings, improve on design communication skills.
