Feedback gathered last week:
So this week we are looking at:
The hierarchical arrangement (2d)
“The complex, hierarchical structure of Pangolin’s scale makes it hard for cracks to propagate after an impact.”

This week we are expanding on a few factors from previously:
(1) Module design and Attachment development1(b) Module Details (Orthographic Drawing):
(2) Form Exploration
We explored on a few variations with focus on the transition from the head to tail.
We identified that structure development form (4) transition feels less like an abrupt transition than the rest and the transition spreads out evenly to the diminishing point. Hence, below is how we envisioned the structure (without the modules yet) to be placed in our proposed space:
2(b) Frame Structure Details (Orthographic Drawing):
We are still working out on the module arrangement of the modules. Working with paneling tool command in 3D rhino software to work out the arrangement of the modules such that it flow consistently along our frame structure.
To be updated!
Form exploration II
Fiona x Shanelle
This week we are exploring forms that:
Form Exploration:
We looked into different ways of creating a wrapping swirl effect yet not distorting the essence of a pangolin – (1)The descending surface area from body to pointy tail and (2) the triangular head,
Proposed form:
As initially suggested here, we have decided to place this at residential hall 7 in the central of the residential ground to commemorate the presence of wildlife in this area, additionally serving as a landmark for the location.
Moving forward,
Here are some feedback we received from this week’s consultation to work on:
References
For the frame structure, we looked into stainless steel tubing for its durability and strength. The above reference, known as the circular bench comes in two parts that allows you to slot them together around a tree, then secure it with a supplied Allen key. Additionally, it was handmade from tubular steel, needing for no maintenance. We are currently working on how we can possibly adopt similar techniques for our frame to stabilize the sculpture.
