Photokeratitis: On Site

After having completed the full scale mock-up in the Department of Architectural Science, the [R]ed[U]x Lab team proceeded to bring the pieces over to Cornerstone at the Junction and begin the initial install. Once again it was a coordinated effort by students from 1st to 4th year lending their time and hands on the project that made it successful. One can see from the photos that it was a very organized and relatively quick install.

Mock Up Assembly

The adage "Think twice, cut once" is something the [R]ed[U]x Lab team completely embraces. Throughout the group's formation, the 1:1 mock-ups are often installed in the atria of the Department of Architectural Science at Ryerson University. This allows the team to identify any missing pieces, gaps in the production process, as well as understand the design at a full scale.

The team led by second and third years had a great deal of support from enthusiastic and invaluable student volunteers including [R]ed[U]x Lab veterans and energetic first year students.

The Assembly of the Foot on Site

Naveed, Craig, and volunteers had an interesting installation session as the rather large foot components were assembled in the modest Stantec Gallery.

Almost There...

The Stantec Window Gallery should be complete very shortly.

Putting It Together...

Here are some photos of [R]ed[U]x Lab's Stantec Gallery Team on site assembling and fitting the project into the modest display alcove fronting on Spadina Avenue.

Almost Complete the Production Phase...

Here are some additional images of the production of the CNC structural profiles and the laser cut leg/argyle elements. The project has been coming together quickly in the past 24 hours!

The priming and prepping continues...

The Stantec Gallery team has been very busy and given the fine balance of deadlines (most notably in what has been rumoured to be a rough second year studio), it would seem that the students have been able to get things assembled in a fairly decent rate. 

Here we have a few of the students priming the material including sorting out the contoured profiles and painting the internal structure to blend in with the laser cut cardboard.
