Probe # 1

Conclusion//Discovered effects

Materiality

On a smooth surface (e.g. copper)

specular reection of visible light occurs

On a rough surface (e.g. concrete casted with rough

texture) reection is diffused/light is scattered

Furthermore, shadowplay occurs

Perforated or translucent material lters light

Orientation/angles

Depending on the material properties reection will

vary according to the angle of which light reaches the

surface (e.g. an acrylic membrane will only be visible

from certain angles)

Conclusion//Discovered effects

Materiality

On a smooth surface water will

easier be shed off. In general,

waters surface tension makes it

stick onto any material until gravity

overcomes it

Materiality

On a rough surface water will stick

due to its texture

Orientation/angles

Due to gravity water moves verti-

cally from its weight

If the horizontally angled material is

not rigid enough, the waters weightwill bow it

Probe # 3

Conclusion//Discovered effects

This probe investigates the relation between modularity versus variation.

The three-dimensional units can facilitate double layer of membranes. In this probe the application of different membranes are limited to a single module.

If each module in a larger/whole structure is applicated with variating membranes, different spatial experiences can take place within the same structure.
