Site Visitation

On our second site visit, we had discussion with uncle Joon, his wife, and P’Muek about the construction process, which includes, the size of bamboos, the sequence of the construction, and seasonal condition of the sea in correspondence to our construction period. We considered the alternative choice of using or middle size bamboo for the curve roof canopy structure instead of using a large bamboo or like the main scaffolding in the water since it would enable us to blend them as designed. We also discussed in the belt weaving process where they suggestes we hired professionals to ensure that it is replaced by with diameter of 1-1/ 2 to 2 inches.

Actual materials mock up

After we have ordered the constractor to build the actual material mock up to study the close to real scale structure.(Due to the non predictable storm, the constructor could not build a real mock up on the ground) The knot and joint connections as well as the leavening agent string are in real scale which allow us to see the real details of it. We tried different techniques of roof to see the different budget range and appearance of our project such as using slant as a roof cover. After that we tested the structure load bearing roughly to see if it actuallt worked.

Change of material

Due to the limitation of budget, and time. We decided to changed material of the roof/ shades from the weaved belt to the slant roof As Slant roof is easier to construct, cheaper and save a lot more time. Its material property is also is not persist wind that would cause the tall structure to fall apart.

Construction Duration

Due to the storm season the project construction has to be postponed from planned in July which is when the proposal was
