THE NEGOTIATION MACHINE #3
PROJECT Sensing: Control and Change |
The Bartlett School of Architecture
COLLABORATOR Zhu Lin, Anchal Shamanur
SUPERVISORS Enriqueta Llabres-Valls, Zachary Fluker
DESCRIPTION
Negotiation Machine #3 is an alternative dynamic sensing tool to Negotiation Machine #1 (used in The Garden) and Negotiation Machine #2 (used in the Negotiable Boundary). The idea behind this tool is about The Three-Body Problem, the perennial problem of the dynamics, where three interconnected entities that exist in the same space has an equal impact in regulating that space, and each of their changes is restricted in relation to the other two entities due to the nature of their own gravitational force. Thus, each entity's action will result in a dynamic space transformation.
The design is based on three simple pulley systems on a rack connected to three acrylic sticks by a thread. Each pulley is connected to a dedicated mini servo motor to control and change the thread rolls that would change the stick's distance relative to the rack.
