Exploration of wood as a bending material, during the workshop, helped us conceive multiple curves with a strip of wood spanning 10m by 0.1m. This wooden strip was made of 3 layers. 2 of which were used to achieve the length, give thickness and more tension to the strip. The 3rd layer consisted of smaller strips countering the bending effect of the joint between 2 wooden strips.

Our prototype was tested and initially built at 1:1 scale and later translated to a 1:10 scale to achieve multiple curves in one pushing action. A rail system, along the strip was used to be able to transport 20 kg of weight at the desired anchor points so as to behave like the containers on our site.

The testing is being continued at 1:10 scale with same material but different mechanisms of pushing and anchoring

A space may be defined by its usage, environment, volume and time. Port de Barcelona is one such space being characterized and having unfathomed attributes of the same, yet to be explored. An orchestrated play of such spaces may be constructive, liberating and help redefine the fundamental concept of port spaces.
