December 19th, 2014: T_ADS Christmas Party

Published 2014年12月19日 by T—ADS


On December 19th, 2014, T_ADS hosted the Annual Christmas Party!

Every year Obuchi Lab hosts a Christmas Sushi Party for all the lab’s staff and students. Fresh fish from Tsukiji transformed into nigiri sushis by students and staffs, and served to everybody who came. Good time was had by all, enlivened with sake and beer.

It is also a tradition for a new staff member to take first year students to Tsukiji Market early in the morning to purchase a lot of fresh sushi-grade fish meat.
This year, we bought scrumptious pieces of tuna, swordfish, salmon, octopus, and shrimps.

Shifting Shifts

In the past two weeks everyone had shifts for guarding the pavilion while providing information for passers by. We had a little intervention =]

Casting Chopsticks on site at Commune246

We finished (!!) the process of casting Chopsticks onto the main wooden structures of our food cart in Commune 246. They are still covered by blue tarps until getting finished by water-proof coating but we are all super excited to unveil the tarp very soon!

The construction of our food cart project in Commune 246 now get started! YES!! We designed our food cart to be wrapped by Cast-On-Site Chopstick finishes, which fabrication system has been developed by our Digital Fabrication Lab at T_ADS in collaboration with Shimizu Corporation. Now we completed an assembly of main wooden structures capped by a roof steel frame with transparent tent roof on it. We will start soon the Chopstick casting phase!

3D Scanning

Published 2014年11月20日 by T—ADS

Today we scanned the pavilion to check how accurate we have been while installing the STIK panels. We have used both traditional methods of checking the accuracy, as well as a projection / scanning system while placing the panels. The construction process has largely been driven by our research into computer scanning and projection methods. We found that our process has been quite accurate to date.
