raumlaborberlin: soap opera

raumlaborberlin: soap opera

the installation consists of hundreds of transparent, latex balloons--some filled with helium, some filled with just air. varying in size and weight, the scene when viewed from far away resemble a luminous mist of bubbles floating between the old bath house and the grove of birch trees. visitors experience the space by immersing themselves among the balloons, which are illuminated from within.

'soap opera' temporary softens the precision and hardness of the architecture on site--the industrial shaft tower, metal trusses, and brick-clad facade--by its material and form. visitors, who are the real actors in this performance, are encouraged to part the installation by taking parts of it along with them, resulting in the installation gradually dissolving as if it were made of foam.

Yuichi Higashionna

Yuichi Higashionna lives and works in Tokyo. He started to create works that led to his current work style around 1994.
He is an artist whose works of paintings, objects and installations are inspired by unexplainable odd and canny feelings emerged from something strikes him in his everyday life.

He creates installations of intertwining light sculptures, shadowy stencilled paintings, and striped and moiré pattering.

Inspired by interior decorating of Japanese homes in the 1970's during a period of economic prosperity, the artist explores the aesthetic of fanshii. Reffering to that which is kitsch or odd, almost to the point of tackiness, fanshii ultimately reflected Japanese compulsive admiration for Western. He noticed the fact that the fluorescent lamp in the circular-bulb style has independently spread in its use at Japanese home in general. His works are both an homage and a satire, to the Japanese "fluorescent culture" that fascinates him and at the same time makes him uncomfortable;

he wants the pieces to be familiar yet foreign, based on the Freudian concept of the "uncanny".

(The Uncanny (Ger. Das Unheimliche -- literally, "un-home-ly") is a Freudian concept of an instance where something can be familiar, yet foreign at the same time, resulting in a feeling of it being uncomfortably strange.[1] (See Uncanny valley)

Because the uncanny is familiar, yet strange, it often creates cognitive dissonance within the experiencing subject due to the paradoxical nature of being attracted to, yet repulsed by an object at the same time. This cognitive dissonance often leads to an outright rejection of the object, as one would rather reject than rationalize.)

Porsche museum

The edifice by Vienna’s Delugan Meissl Associated Architects is an eye-catcher. The fascinating impact of the monolithic, virtually floating exhibition hall can be felt. This bold and dynamic architecture reflects the company’s philosophy. It is designed to convey a sense of arrival and approachability, and to guide the visitors smoothly from the basement level into the superstructure - this is how the architects express their dedication.
In their design, the architects at Delugan Meissl set out to create a place of sensuous experience that reflects the authenticity of Porsche products and services as well as the company’s character, while also reshaping Porscheplatz with an unmistakable appearance.

STEEL FRAME CONSTRUCTION

1. Basic System - Post & Beam (skeleton frame) and space frames.


5.Basic Structural Steel Shapes (Hot-rolled):


In general, structural steel is fabricated in a hot-rolled process under several ASTM designations, the most common being A36. This steel has a minimum yield stress of 36 KSI and a minimum ultimate (breaking) stress of 58 KSI. Many other grades are available, with A572 - 50 KSI yield stress as a choice for higher strength. A new steel grade A992 has recently replaced A572 and A36 (for W sections) as the standard grade. Like A572, it also has a yield stress of 50 KSI.



1.Wide Flange - The typical "I Beam" used in construction. Example - W18x35, where "W" = Wide flange, 18 = nominal depth of member in inches, and 35 = weight of beam in pounds per linear foot. Used for beams, columns, piles, bracing and other heavy applications.







2.Angles - Either equal legs or unequal legs. Example - L4x3x1/4 where 4 and 3 are the actual leg dimensions in inches and 1/4 = angle thickness in inches. Used for lintels, bracing, built-up beams and columns, secondary framing and other light-duty applications.










3.Steel Channels - These "C" shaped members are used for beams, built-up columns, bracing, secondary framing and other light to medium-duty applications. An example of a channel is C10x30 where "C" indicates channel, 10 is the actual height of the channel in inches, and 30 = pounds per linear foot.



6.conncections:

Light Gauge Steel Framing:
Light gauge steel framing members are used to frame walls, headers, joists, and lintels - everything that conventional wood-framing members would be used for. Most state building codes dictate that non-combustible construction be used for certain type facilities and wood framing members may NOT be used. These light gauge members are cold-rolled (similar to steel deck) sheet metal products that are available from various manufacturers in "C" shaped members in gages typically ranging from 12 gage up to 26 gage. They are fastened and assembled by use of self-tapping screws and spot-welding.
