PATTERN 01

SPIRAL ALOE

In this pattern the aim was to emulate the sharp edges of the aloe plant, while also creating a clear & repetitive pattern (similar to the aloe plant).

The speed for this print was F600.

MEW PATTERNS I

Melt electrowriting (MEW) is a relatively new biofabrication approach (proofof-principle in 2008) that combines electrospinning with 3D printing, using high voltage to precisely deposit molten polymer into fibers with diameters in the micrometer range.

These are pictures taken by a microscope of 3 different patterns that I chose to have printed.

MEW PATTERNS II

These microscope photos are from the second stage of MEW printing. My second choice design ended up beind printed, instead of my first, because my first choice didn’t have enough overlap between fibers & it fell apart.

This pattern was inspired by the pattern that snake scales create. Although I don’t use this pattern direcly, the form is similar to the pattern I choose, & it helped inform my design.

SPACE IN LAWRENCE LIDAR SCAN

I decided to choose a space in Lawrence on the first floor, adjacent to a North entrance. I chose this space due to it’s access to natural, diffused light and its impressive verticality (30’ tall).

The image to the right is a lidar scan of this space, and the images on the right page is a photo & plan of the space.

2D PATTERN STUDIES

After deciding on my space, I decided to explore different patterns within a 6’x20’ frame. I created a 2’x2’ module with 4 points on each side, in order to facilitate creating patterns with 1-3 repeatable & connecting modules.

The image below shows an example of this 2’x2’ module, and how a pipe might connect between the points.

These patterns were created by mirroring, rotating, and copying both single modules and groups of modules.

INSPIRATION + DESIGN For my scaffold design I decided to choose pattern 05, which was inspired by jagged plant leaves.

I rotated the pattern 90° so that the jagged edge runs vertically up the wall, whichs complements the verticality of the space.

Opportunity for Trellising

I then corrected all of the angles to make them 45°, to adjust to PVC pipe joints.

I then broke the pattern down into 2 columns of Z-shaped components designed to stack on top each other.

MODEL PHOTOS

These photos show my design within a simple physical model of my space. I used thread to weave the pattern through nails attached to a wooden board.

DIGITAL RENDERS

These axons show the existing & new building system, and how they interact with each other. The main water supply for the scaffold will come from rainwater, because I have attached to an existing gutter that runs behind my wall.

I have also connected the sprinker line, as a backup for when rainwater can’t supply sufficient water. This water is brought from the opposite wall, and runs across the skylight mullion to reach my scaffold.

The second large image shows the lighting condition, and how there are grow lights that can provide supplemental light.

LIGHTING SYSTEM

These images show how my lighting system works. There was one existing light rail, so I decided to add two more higher up the wall to supply light to the upper part of the scaffold.

After running several analyses, I was able to determine that the scaffold will need supplemental lighting during the late winter and early spring months.

PLANT SPECIES & DISTRIBUTION I’ve decided to use the species Philodendron Cordatum, Scindapsus Aureum, and Hedera Helix Baltica.

All of these species are relatively low-light species, which is ideal due to my location’s adjacency to a large North window.

I was imagining that the baltic ivy would run up the sides of my pattern, and that the other two species would be placed within pockets running up the design.

PVC MODULE CONSTRUCTION

I created a 1:1 scale model of a section of my living wall system. For this model I used 2” diameter pipe, however in reality I would need at least 3” diameter pipe.

CONCLUSIONS If I were to continue exploring this pattern, I would like to play with the three-dimensionality of the system more, and experiment with more ways that my living wall could be an immersive experience. I think that my design really came to life once I decided to pull the scaffold off the wall in the middle and create a curve, so I think moving forward with different forms of 3-dimensionality could produce some interesting & beautiful results. I think that by bringing the scaffold over people’s heads, it creates an immersive experience with the plants, instead of just having a flat 2D living wall system.

If I were to do this again I would likely also explore expanding my living system outside of the narrow piece of wall that it occupies, so that it can overhang over the doorway that is directly adjacent to my living wall system. I would also explore using different species, because the time that I spent researching plant species is limited and I could’ve investigated other options. Another thing that would be interesting to explore would be design variations, such as the column design variation I explored and the ceiling fixture variation.
