CONCEPT

Being the shortest mushroom, 1.5 meters high, we challenge to make a mushroom as wide as possible. In one side we open the mushroom to welcome everyone come inside the mushroom, on the other side we created a space to seat and enjoy the view of Valldaura scenery.

FIND THE BEST SHAPE

We try different shapes and chose the one which look natural and welcome.

FIRST TRY

The first model we try in layer cutter failed because of the connection between purlin and substructure
and the lack of basement.

SECOND TRY

We improve the model by fixing the failure, adding a basement and change the angle of joint. However, there are more problem.

1.First, the structure can not stand by itself.
2.Second, we need a bolt to close the joint between column and purlin otherwise purlin will loose and fall.
3.Third, the structure is too big that can not fit the site.

FINAL 3D MODEL

1. Scale the model to fit the site.
2. Change the purlin to linear shape because we find out the 9mm plywood can not be bended when it is short.
3. Add a strong base.

FUTURE

Fliping the charater of mushroom who live on other organism,
the frame we created provide a home for climbing plants to grow.
