TOOLS
Overview
The goal is to create a tool that reveals the influence of sound on our physical environment overtime through translating collected environmental sound data to wax.
This project focuses on subjects of the non visual, in-describable, emotional, and ephemeral with
hopes to quantify, document, and rationalize.
Method Through the repetition of listening and carving, similar to a timelapse, or rock formations due to wind and water over millennia, the robot will create a physical representation of the sound over a set period of time.
Inspiration
The projected started with the concept of modularity, to create a machine that generates architectural modules that represents a given space.
Soundscape as Architect
The end of the process is attempting to take
sound’s effect on the wax and remapping that back
into the physical space. This will change the sound
profile of a space by introducing an architectural
work that has been influenced by the sound before
its installation.
Fabrication
This project covers the entire spectrum of fabrication. From welding steel frames, to 3d printing components, to machine alumiunum weight-bearing components, to hardware, and finally software.
