Thanh-Invisible joint in acrylic

Invisible Joint: The material is chosen to be something different than the timber but also hard and solid. three pieces of acrylic are stacked together as 2 frosted and 1 frosted purple. The L angle in other material would be obvious, therefore, the use of one clear acrylic bended in angle and screwed into the acrylics. Less use of joining, The use of acrylic also gives very elegant/spiritual atmosphere since the light actually hit the frosted and self luminated

Self bending: using the middle piece of acrylic to bend and make them become one of the joining is also another option to follow the idea of invisible joint

Thanh-Invisible joint

Temporary chapel for the Deaconesses of St-Loup is one of the timber structure that can stand by itself and with very less joining pieces. Sometimes can be called the "invisible joint"

The interior has no joining. all the joints has been intensively left in outer skin and are covered by another layer of thin timber panel. Therefore, looking both inside and outside, there is no sign of joining system

DETAIL MODEL

The detail of case study of how four pieces of timber come together. However, instead of making the pieces stand as it is, they have been rotated vertically, which created more interesting shape. This can be applied as a wall/facade system

The joining is left in outer skin

The correct angle/ standing angle of the detail model

Mindy-New Steel structure and lighting

Color tube: steel structure is reduced to the minimal, connecting by several pieces of strong, bendable colorful plastic. This time, the head is made to be able to rotate, so can deal with different angles of structure
