Stazione di Vedetta Revisitada

For this consegna i wanted to improve the fabrication process, for this i replaced the old system made of one element repetition, for a repetition of a group of elements.

In this sense i dicided that i will work with 5 modules, that i called "Modulo A", "Modulo B", "Modulo C", "Modulo D" and "Modulo E".

The important one is the "Modulo B", this is the only module that changes and is the one that makes the floor of the station.

In this case there are 5 modules that create a group, this group is repeated with the command "array".

In this group the modules are aligned, the only parameter that is free to change is the lenght of the module "B", this way is more simply and easy to control the parametrization.

Like i said before, i used an radial array to copy the group of modules, 100 times and with 3º.

Also i created one parameter that is called "Numero", this is an text parameter that i will use in the schedule to know the number of the piece that i want to change.

The Schedule is made by 5 types, the important ones are "Pasillo" that is the parameter used for the lenght of the "B" module and is the one that changes in the parametrization, and the "Numero" that is the number of the piece that changes.

Here we can see that the Modules "B" have the number of the piece and on the "E" column we see the lenght in centimeters of the "B" module ("Pasillo").

This Stazione di Vedetta can be made with standar pieces of wood (4"x1") and has a simplyfied parametrization, witch depends only of one paramter, but the result of the parametrization is very interesting, considering that is made with just one parameter.

The objetive is still to create 2 permanent spaces for seeing and one corridor to connect this 2 spaces, also in this design is the structural issue, and the assembly one.

Hi Felipe,

very interesting update, it takes into account what we were discussing in the class 
with your personal interpretation, and I think it is very nice.

Some points:

1 - Probably in your case, holes have to be machined on the pieces, at least in the variable ones.
but that's not a problem at all, just a bit of modelling care, NOT requested by class to you! Just know
that it wold be possible, by introducing parametric holes in the families.

2 - Assembly - I believe, or maybe I am missing something, that you still need what we call "dima", meaning
one piece that "tells" to the others where to be located. We were mentioning two "dima": one in the inner circle
another one towards the perimeter of the stazione, but in fact it could almost everywhere, since one you have
two point to block a piece, its position is determined. Hope it is clear.

Aside from that, very nice and interesting design,
feel free to update it more if you feel

we look forward to see what you will think and design for the tower!

S.C.
