3D printer doing job at its best. Printing the sound that had been recorded to 3D form

Short montage showing the process that our team had been doing in the event Sound and Space.

Taking back the printed sound to site.

Our team at site with the sound printed in 3D. The project was a success

playing around with Processing software and learning how to code the software to design.

sounds recorded along Market street being generated in 3D form by using Processing.

We used processing to analyse and translate songs into a 3D form ready for 3D printing

Using Processing we convert our sound file in to 3D form, resulting in the form. You can clearly see the busier areas of NQ such as Oldham street as they form larger spikes.

final day taking the printed sculpture back to our site.

By changing one single number in the code the size of the spike can be reduced and the form can also be smoothed at the touch of button

Section of amphitheater in context.

Similarly as building of Revolution de Cuba which has a basement located under the ground level, amphitheater set up is partially under the ground which this diagram and panorama emphasize.

Today we learnt how to setup a code file to 3D Print using Makerbot!

Site analysis 2 involved visiting amphitheater located in front of Revolution de Cuba and taking a note of it’s the most important features such as the access from the street and contrasting to Revolution de Cuba silence which fulfill the space.
