This diagram inspired the idea to look at flat planes instead of curves Source: archinect.com |
The shape wasn't the only thing I had to re-think. I mentioned early on that I wanted this to function for one or two people. That meant I needed to create something that would work from multiple sides.
Symmetrical shell with flat planes |
My next goal is to explore deeper: Are the openings necessary for convenience of use? Does it make more sense for it to be entirely enclosed? How big is it? What is it made out of? Am I implementing a recording device? Only time will tell..
...looking forward to seeing the acoustical diagram... particularly, examining the drawing in section and plan should inform the geometry of the shell. So far, I can imagine by looking at the draft 3D model that the sound would effectively travel and be reinforced near a prospective duet partner, but having a drawing show the anticipated reflections back to the original singer would allow others to fully appreciate what you're trying to do.
ReplyDeleteAlso, start thinking about the materiality and the construct-ability. The posted model reads like generic planes, but I believe the aesthetics you temporarily set aside can be brought back into the equation while this continues to develop.
