TEMPORARY INSTALLATION AT GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY CENTRE AND GYM PAVILION

Assessment 3 - Body and Place Sissel Morley - S5288742 Location: Under pavilion Temporary structure was designed to be installed under the aquatic pavilion, between a section of the columns. The sheltered location would o er protection from sun and rain. Maximum sun and wind exposure from west (pool side) due to geographic location.

Function: Playing - Climbing Main intention of use to this installation, is to be used as warming up exercise before swimming.

Measurements Hight 4m Length 5.5m Width 5m

Design Development The iscal consequence of the inal structural model, started with the investigation of a single tubular rectangular shape, that have been twisted to create a stronger form.

This new shape is mostly made from multiple triangles that supports with other.

The uni ication between three of this new shapes, resulted into the inal model.

Reinforcing the temporary aspect and evoke playfulness and interaction.

TRIANGLE INSPIRATION The triangle repeatedly appears on the shape of the body, during the many di erent types of swim styles. As highlighted on the diagram above.

Research shows that the muscles used doing swimming are the same muscles used during climbing, with the exception of chest and higher back muscles. Diagram on the right displays muscle groups used in the two sports.

Development process documentation sketches and drawings including colour and material are displayed below.
