MATERIAL PHASE
PATTERN 01
CROSS RHOMBUS
In this pattern I was inspired by the geometric shape of the honey comb so I created a rhombus shapes that intertwine.
The speed for this print was F600.
In the first print the sharp cross section from the digital model has turned the physical print into curves that are now just touching each other side by side instead of being crossed with each other.

PATTERN 02
UNITED STARS
In this pattern looking at the plant and star fish I wanted to create sharp angles for this pattern so, there are a bunch of stars being crossed with each other that created different sizes of shapes.
The speed for this print was F600.
In the second pattern the star cross sections are sharp and dynamic when they cross each other. The physcial printed model makes the corners more round but also the middle cross sections start to create smaller loop hoops.

PATTERN 03
ANGULAR STRIPES
In this pattern tried to replicate Tiger stripes into this pattern.
The speed for this print was F600.
The third pattern in the digital model have a lot of sharp angles. In the physical model print the print has become more wave like and instead of the overlap seen in the ditigal they are just sticking side by side.

SOLAR STUDY
This study is examining the amount of solar exposure on a scaffold during the period of January to May. The simulation results show that the left side of the stairway has more exposure to sunlight than the right side. This discrepancy in exposure can be attributed to several factors, including the direction of the sun and potential obstructions.
Based on the lux reading, the space is receiving a significant amount of light, which seems to correspond with the solar study when looking towards the north. Specifically, at 11 AM when the reading was taken, a significant amount of light from the west was reaching the space.
WATER FLOW ANALYSIS
The water flow analysis diagram provides an estimation of the amount of water that is flowing through the scaffold. This analysis takes into account the water flow that comes off the main vertical pipes and is distributed horizontally, which is a positive aspect of the scaffold’s design. In essence, the diagram shows how the water is likely to flow into the scaffold based on these factors.
SCINDAPSUS SILVER POTHOS
-Low Maintenance
-Grows without sunlight
-Cleans the air
-Increases Humidity
-PPFD (μmol/m²/s)= 40-600
-DLI (mol/m²/d)= 4-14
-40 PPFD WITH NATURAL DAYLIGHT OF 6500K= 1739 LUX
-600 PPFD WITH NATURAL DAYLIGHT OF 6500K= 26087 LUX
- These are the calcultions of 40 PPFD and lights are providing a daily light integral of 1.7 mol/m²/d, which is insufficient for optimal growth of your pothos plant. To achieve better growth, you need to increase your light output to 162 μmol/ m²/s by increasing the intensity or duration of the light exposure.
- These are the calcultions of 600 PPFD and lights are currently providing a daily light integral of 25.9 mol/m²/d, which is too much for your pothos plant by approximately 270%. To achieve optimal growth and reduce energy consumption, you can either reduce your lighting duration to 3.2 hours or decrease your light output to 162 μmol/m²/s.
PLANTING
DIAGRAM ON HOW ITS PLANTED
In this diagram the silver Scindapsus pothos in a scaffold system. Involves cutting rectangular cut-outs from a pipe and adjusting the variations of how much each section of the pipe can hold by either holding one or two.
ELEVATION PLANT DIAGRAM
In the elevation drawing that shows where the pothos plants will be placed on the scaffold. Additionally, plan to create color variations on the wall by mixing and matching the silver pothos with other varieties of pothos.
The elevation drawing is simply a visual representation of what the plants will look like on the scaffold, and it shows the specific placement of each plant.
JOINT PIECES
To construct the scaffold, three primary components are utilized: a 90-degree PVC connector, a tee connector, and pipes. The chosen scale for building is 1:1, with the pipes having a diameter of 2 inches. This particular diameter was selected to ensure ample space for the roots to spread and grow effectively.
3D SECTION WALL DETAIL
The 3D wall detail section is intended to provide a clearer depiction of how the scaffold is attached to the wall and to highlight the specific intricacies that exist within the given space.
VR IMAGE
The VR image presents a 1:1 scale of the scaffold, providing a fascinating opportunity to visualize how it would appear in Lawrence in real-time. Observing the scaffold in this manner can be highly informative and engaging.
1:1 SCAFFOLD
The 1:1 scale scaffold serves to demonstrate how the structure will appear when actual plants are growing out of it. This provides a realistic and tangible representation of the final product.
DETAILED WALL
SECTION 1/2”=1’
This drawing illustrates the specifications for the final construction of the wall, including the installation of a waterproof backboard to prevent moisture from entering the stairwell. It also depicts the drainage and piping systems that will be used to discharge water. Additionally, the drawing outlines the layering process for assembling the scaffold in Lawrence, which involves the use of various materials.
EXPLODED AXON
The axonometric drawing provides a clearer view of each individual component, allowing for a better understanding of the new additions such as the pipes, drainage system, and scaffold. This perspective provides a detailed view of each element, making it easier to visualize the entire structure and its various parts.

Through the rendered space, we can visualize how the scaffold would fit within a residential home setting, giving us a sense of the atmosphere and aesthetic of the environment.
CEILING SCAFFOLD
This ceiling scaffold employs the same components used in constructing a traditional scaffold, but with certain modifications that create a wave-like motion by tilting some of its parts. Additionally, it features spaces where plants can grow and luminaires can hang from the scaffold.
PLANTING STATUE
This planting statue employs the same components used in constructing a traditional scaffold, but with certain modifications that create an off-set beauty by rotating some of its parts. Moreover, it features spaces where plants can grow. Depending on the context, this statue could be placed in a garden area or positioned in front of or inside the main entrance of a building.
PRODUCT DESIGN
Through these iterations, the component blocks of the scaffold are repurposed to create functional furniture pieces such as bookshelves, tables, and chairs, while retaining the original shape of the scaffold. This playful exploration not only showcases the versatility of scaffold components but also highlights the potential for sustainable design by repurposing materials that would otherwise be discarded. By transforming scaffolding into functional furniture pieces, this approach offers a unique and creative way of reducing waste and reusing materials in innovative ways.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, exploring the creative potential of scaffold components has shown us the versatility of this material, allowing us to repurpose it in ways that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Moreover, this approach highlights the importance of sustainable design by reducing waste and reusing materials. Moving forward, I am committed to finding sustainable materials that can be repurposed and will last longer than traditional materials like PVC pipes. By doing so, we can minimize our impact on the environment and promote a more sustainable future. Additionally, we can further explore the potential of the scaffold as a platform for testing and experimenting with other plants and their growth patterns. Through this ongoing exploration, we can continue to push the boundaries of sustainable design and find new ways to repurpose materials, creating more versatile and dynamic designs that benefit both the environment and the people who interact with them.
