Ummmmmm, turbines?

TURBINE- Any of various machines in which the kinetic energy of a moving fluid is converted to mechanical power by the impulse or reaction of the fluid with a series of buckets, paddles, or blades arrayed about the circumference of a wheel or cylinder.

Thank you dictionary.com!

The simplest turbines have one moving part, a rotor assembly, which is a shaft or drum, with blades attached. Moving fluid acts on the blades, or the blades react to the flow, so that they move and impart rotational energy to the rotor. Early turbine examples are windmills and water wheels.

Quarantine Unit- project development

Sticking with the main themes of my glove- layers & textures- the design for my unit will both enhance and downplay the aspects of isolation within the space. The site will also serve as a public interactive space/ pier. Which will allow the quarantined person to have contact with the outside world.

site selection and first process model

After visiting the Port of New Orleans on a rather rainy day, I have selected to position my unit between the bridges. I have also decided to make my unit into a public space- a pier situated off of the sidewalk. This allows for my units inhabitor to feel less isolated. After revisiting my initial diagrams, I have decided to use one major axis (a hallway) as my major circulation. This hallway will branch off to allow for visiting other spaces.

Project Two- Individual Quarantine Unit

Sticking to the ideas of my first project [protective glove] I have being to develop a series of diagrams dealing with textures and touch. Using light as my second input, I have begun to lay out a series of 'rooms' dealing with textured, non-textured, light, and dark.
