Light

I addressed the issue of light in my last blog. More is occuring in the motion of light and the movement of the eye. Light is reflected off the oval walls and brought down to the ground plane in the museum. This balances the space and unifies the white walls of the museum. The same is occuring in the display cabinet. The curvature of the top (light) is brought down to the ground plane through the reflection of door shelf curvature and reflected by the metallic kick plate and caster wheels. The eyes are led by the implied curve with the rhythm of stacking. Artificial light could be added under light block shelving. This would cause the artifact to glow much as the walls of the museum do.

The linear rythm is evident in the shelves on the interior of the display. This moves horizontally along with the kick plate and drawer. The vertical motion is displayed in the seperation of the doors and large piano hinges. There will be a diagram for this on a presentation board. The liquid fluid motion is occuring on the top edge of the display case. This is done to reflect the essence of the oval transom opening in the lobby. Since oval form can not be displayed upon the cabinetry in any suitable form on a one dimensional plane, the curve is used. The defined aedicule of the museum is now transmitted to the display case. The weatherspoon overhead shape is irregular in an oval conical form and now overhead is fluid irregularity on the defined aedicule of display. The irregularity is balanced out by offsetting the doors.
This is still dealing with the overhead of both units. However more is occuring in the motion of light and the movement of the eye. Light is reflected off the oval walls and brought down to the ground plane in the museum. This balances the space and unifies the white walls of the museum. The same is occuring in the display cabinet. The curvature of the top (light) is brought down to the ground plane through the reflection of door shelf curvature and reflected by the metallic kick plate and caster wheels. The eyes is led by the implied curve with the rhythm of stacking.

These are the affects of light upon the art museums ground plane and yet what must occur upon the ground plane with the influence of light still must be art. Therefore art must occur within the art museum. To define space adequately must be artistic minimalism. Rectangular box with fluid terminal top to occupy open space with fluid terminal top. The balance of positive space is the display case, and negative space is open floor surrounded by positve boundaries of structured walls.

Just make it out of Birch! Maybe with a curved top.

Steel Wheel Caster

http://www.hamiltoncaster.com/Casters/Stainless_Steel_Casters/Workhorse_Stainless_(WHS)_Capacity_to_1_600_lbs.aspx

The product engineering department at Hamilton Caster is proud to release this first of its kind heavy duty stainless steel caster series rated up to 1,600 lbs. load capacity! This caster is designed for extra heavy loads in severe applications where corrosive environments or sanitary considerations demand having all fork and hardware components of stainless steel. The forged stainless steel swivel caster construction includes a 3/4" diameter integrally forged kingpin that is guaranteed for life!

Each caster undergoes a special process after fabrication to insure the removal of embedded contaminants, edge burrs, and surface stresses. The resulting high-lustre finish not only enhances appearance but provides a smoother, less porous surface that-s impervious to dirt and easier to clean - making these casters ideal for chemical factories, food production facilities, pharmaceutical houses, and other wash-down environments.

Wood Caster Wheel

Cabinet too heavy for wood wheel casters

Unsure of weight ratio.

Light Wood Wheel Swivel Casters

Wood wheel swivel casters have steel horns and light color hardwood wheels. Swivel casters have ball bearings on which the inserts sit for enhanced swiveling. These shank type wood wheel casters are used with grip-neck steel sleeves (included).

Testing for weight capacity is relatively new - as wood wheel casters are reproduction antique casters testing has not been done.

Piano Hinge at 30"

This is the vertical moment of the horizontal kick plate. If Piano hinge has no stop the pin can be placed on the outside of the cabinet

Speeches

I thought the speeches were fluent in form. Most people performed well in organizing their presentation. I didn't visit the speaking center but I think I preformed adequately in my ability to relay my topic. Perhaps if I had visited the speaking center I might have done better.

I posted this on the wrong blog.
