Assignment 2: Model of Geodesic Dome

28 Julai 2010
Today we have need to make a Geodesic Dome use satay sticks and write the progress of making this project on our blog... Here are the steps that I have done for make this project...


First I manage to google the dome calculator that had been suggest by Wan B. during the lectured in the morning..I had choose to make my dome with radius 13cm.. Then I continue by cut the satay sticks into two length that had been given by the website that are 8cm with quantities of 35 and 7.1cm with quantities of 30...

Then I continue by stick the satay sticks that had been cut as shown on the website but i manage to make a little difference in the first step.. In the website it suggest to make the base first but I choose to make triangle shape and stick that together after..This are the photo what I had made...





















The second step I just follow the instruction in the website and keep following with the next steps until the final step...
Here are the picture of the dome that I had made..

Assignment 1: Virtual Construction


There are lot of problem in our daily life so we will think to do something to solve every single problem that exist. So we will start to think to make any product that can be use to solve or simplify the problem that exist. As in APEX production there were several steps to make anything. The steps are intention-act-product.

The first step that must be done to make any product is intention. To get the intention there must be someone to be the actor. Actor is someone that will start to make idea for making the product. As in the picture above we can see that the man with blue lab shirt (me) is the actor in that situation. He is intent to make something from the plywood.

The second step is act. Without any action nothing will be done and no product will produce. By the way all the act must follow some rule that had been created. As in the picture we can see that the actor act by cutting the plywood by using jigsaw. He is use to cut the plywood by following the line that had been made and using the jigsaw by one of his hand and the other hand is holding the plywood. That are the rule that we can see in doing this work. Another rule that he must follow was wearing the lab shirt.

Finally he will get the product from the intention and act that he had made. There must be some place to put the product. In the picture we can conclude that the actor will put the product near the door that already exist. The product in this picture will be the other side of the door.

In short from the picture I can say that the 6 elements that exist in APEX production are

Intention = to make a new door

Actor = guy with blue lab shirt

Act = cutting and nailing the plywood

Rule = follow the size that had been taken

Place = the door space

Product = door
