3/16 full scale mock up of Patio unit. Using construction documents and images, we digitally remodeled the unit. The Mold was cut on a CNC out of 1/2” plywood and 3/8” wiggle wood. Embedded within the concrete is cut and bent rebar to support the cantilevers and height of the project.
Assembled, poured, stuccoed, and Tiled, the mock up weighs in at approximately 2,500lbs. The largest hurdle we over came was the transportation of the cured model across campus. Because of its height and slenderness we build a rig that increased its footprint to provide stability.
