Graphic information extracted from the polarization patterns formed suring creation and melting of ice on the river St Lawrence used to study and predict possible melting paths and hence used in the design for structural stability and temporal modification of architecture
![Page 21: GAD portfolio book 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051004/568c4b341a28ab49169b4d48/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Using the graphic information extracted from the polarization patterns formed suring creation and melting of ice on the river St Lawrence used to study a possible configuration of a foundation was derived that would contradict or support where neccessary the melting of surface ice with increased stability.
This foundation is made of a material called Pykrete, which is a combination of wood pulp and ice and has been found to be as strong as reinforced concrete.
This material forms the main part of the underground landscape and supports the neccessary structure for the architecture.

Final model of exhibition gallery by the use of wood as a structural material and fabric as the main design material on which the ice is made to form.
The fabric is designed to increase inherent movement and facilitate increased formation of ice on the surfaces

The fabric is designed to increase inherent movement and facilitate increased formation of ice on the surfaces
The design on the fabric is reminiscent of the veinous patterns on leaves that help in easy transmission of water to all parts and all the structural ingenuity of dragonfly wings

MATERIALITY TEST: HEATSHRINK EXPERIMENTS
Progressive decrease in the surface area of the heatshrink material to about 50% of its original area on heatingWhile the material shrinks it adapts to the geometry of the existing structure within it.

42
Progressive field change of a composition of heatshrink tubes with modification limited in areas as a result of the interaction of individual tubes with one another. The change is composition relative of each other is similar to the effect found in the ‘Inclusions’ installation with paper and ice. The change in texture is found similar to the effect of digital polarization on surfaces
Initial composition of heatshrink tubes After 10 minutes of heating After 30 minutes of heating
