The Triangle Collective

We, The Triangle Collective, is a group of 3 students studying Architecture at the University of Auckland who are participating in the annual Auckland Architecture Weekend 2010 competition- SKYRISE city.

The event will be held on 16th October 2010 in Sheds 1+2 on 135 Halsey Street, Auckland CBD.

The competition brief is to design a 8m tall skyrise with a 2m x 2m square footprint at the bottom.

Our Design 4 group brief is Recasting, where we have to recast an everyday material and put it into an environment that we will not normally associate the material to.

The blog is to note down important sessions, crits and experiments throughout our design process from the beginning to the night of the event.

Hope you enjoy the project as much as we do.

Thanks for your support,
Cameron, Kassidy and Kelvin @ The Triangle Collective

18.09.2010 Tamaki Session

Uni started again so we haven't had much time to upload on to our blog.
So just a brief update of what has been happening :

- For the second half of the semeseter our whole design group has moved to Tamaki Campus for more space and room to build our 1:1 skyrise.
- Our group has been looking for more sponsorship and wants to thanks 3M for their generosity and big help with double sided tape.
- We also want to thankyou Flexilight NZ for their generous offer and discounts with our lighting samples.
- Right now we are trying to test out how to make a net for the inflated tubes so the whole design becomes an integral module and not separate.
- Also we sorted out a bouncy castle blower! Yay! a 2 horse power one which is quite strong. Now we need to think about hiring a generator for the night
