Experimental Structures: The Use Evolution of Physical Models for the German Pavilion 1967
Просмотров 906Год назад
This video tells the amazing story of how physical models were used to design, analyze, and test the experimental cable net structure for the German Pavilion at the 1967 Montreal Expo. This ambitious project the world's largest cable-net structure was designed by Rolf Gutbrod and Frei Otto (with his research team at the Institute for Lightweight Structures (IL) in Stuttgart). It completed under...
Body Structures 2: Lab Activities for Architects, How High? and How Far?
Просмотров 4472 года назад
In this video, I'll explain how enacting two basic challenges for body structures (How High Can You Reach? and How Far Can You Span?) can be used to quickly and effectively basic structural principles (equilibrium, loads, force flow, stresses, etc.). The video shows how to create a lab activity, examples of various poses and the critical lessons to be learned from each. This lecture and lab occ...
Body Structures 1: Learning Fundamentals of Architectural Structures through Haptic Exercises
Просмотров 7492 года назад
In this video, I'll explain a basic, but profoundly effective method for learning about basic structural principles (equilibrium, loads, force flow, stresses, etc.) using human body. This video shows how certain poses with one's body can be enacted and diagrammed to reveal fundamental structural concepts. This lecture and lab occurs at the onset of the "Structures by Design" sequence I teach at...
Body Structures, Part 3: Teaching Structures to Beginning Architecture Students
Просмотров 5752 года назад
In this video, I'll explain a basic, but profoundly effective method for teaching structural principles that relies upon the human body. This video presents basic information for how forces, stresses, equilibrium, and connections can become readily accessible to early learners. Students see how far they can span and how high they can reach using their bodies. This lab is one of the first in the...
Experimental Structures: The Evolving Use of Physical Models in Shells (Isler and Otto, 1959-1974)
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.2 года назад
This video, from an Experimental Structures course at Iowa State University, looks at the evolving uses of physical models in experimental architectural shell and membrane structures. The video shows how models transcended simply representational roles; physical models were used in form-finding and analysis methods for double-curved concrete structural shells (Heinz Isler) and lightweight cable...

Просмотров 623 года назад
This video is part of the CELT, Innovation by Design: Project-Based Learning workshop series offered at Iowa State University by Prof. Rob Whitehead. This video explores the design and ideation phases of project-based learning to show how planning, activities, and formative feedback can nurture the process of learning in collegiate-level courses. Teaching tactics are discussed that promote crea...
Develop & Situate Project-Based Learning: Planning, Participants, & Purpose
Просмотров 213 года назад
This video is part of the CELT, Innovation by Design: Project-Based Learning workshop series offered at Iowa State University by Prof. Rob Whitehead. In this video we go back to some of the basics about course planning to examine how to make distinctions in the inquiry-based approach and how it coordinates with the participants and overall purpose. The video describes how to scaffold of course ...

    great video Rob. But if you notice, the video/image quality immediately reduces and is blurry from :10 seconds in. Are you able to fix and re-upload or is there a link to another version?
