Our design explorations drew from molecular assemblies to the saddle found in Pringle™ chips. After initial experiments, we found routed pringles from foam to have the 'best fit' when disturbed by the environmental force of a leaf blower. All work was shared collaboratively with Seth Denizen as research assistants to UVA landscape architecture faculty Jorg Sieweke. <img src="http://payload48.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/3269591/Pringle_white-01_500.png" width="500" height="222" width_o="1296" height_o="576" src_o="http://payload48.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/3269591/Pringle_white-01_o.png" data-mid="16760804" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload48.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/3269591/Chemistry_white-01_500.png" width="500" height="222" width_o="1296" height_o="576" src_o="http://payload48.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/3269591/Chemistry_white-01_o.png" data-mid="16760778" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload48.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/3269591/JAckAgg_white-01_500.png" width="500" height="222" width_o="1296" height_o="576" src_o="http://payload48.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/3269591/JAckAgg_white-01_o.png" data-mid="16760792" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload48.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/3269591/NinjaStar_white-01_500.png" width="500" height="222" width_o="1297" height_o="577" src_o="http://payload48.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/3269591/NinjaStar_white-01_o.png" data-mid="16760794" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload48.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/3269591/Aggregates_round1_8_500.png" width="500" height="556" width_o="504" height_o="561" src_o="http://payload48.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/3269591/Aggregates_round1_8_o.png" data-mid="16763963" border="0" align="left"/> Exhibition Images <img src="http://payload48.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/3269591/P1010349_500.jpg" width="500" height="281" width_o="1024" height_o="576" src_o="http://payload48.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/3269591/P1010349_o.jpg" data-mid="16763725" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload48.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/3269591/P1010338_500.jpg" width="500" height="888" width_o="576" height_o="1024" src_o="http://payload48.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/3269591/P1010338_o.jpg" data-mid="16763704" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload48.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/3269591/P1010343_500.jpg" width="500" height="888" width_o="576" height_o="1024" src_o="http://payload48.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/3269591/P1010343_o.jpg" data-mid="16763715" border="0" align="left"/> Particle Aggregation is an abstract research proposition initiated by Jorg Sieweke to try to design particles that fit together so that they would aggregate... http://www.joeyhays.com/Gardez-L-eau http://www.joeyhays.com/following/joeyhays.com/Gardez-L-eau Thu, 30 Dec 2010 22:36:52 +0000 Joey Hays 892339 In the 1890's Pittsburgh city engineers decided it would be more economical to combine sewer and storm water pipes.

Inspired by terraced rice patties, the Greenscape is a vertically integrated water retention system. The 450 gallon tank collects rain water from the roof and irrigates the plants through a gravity fed drip-line. The water grows native species and food crops before it is filtered by the ground level wetland plants. The modular planting design allowed the fully grown plants to be installed temporarily for the competition in DC and permanently at Powdermill Nature reserve in Ligonier, PA. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/888376/SolarD-001.jpg" width="500" height="400" width_o="500" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/888376/SolarD-001_o.jpg" data-mid="4255110" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/888376/SolarD-002.jpg" width="500" height="333" width_o="500" height_o="333" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/888376/SolarD-002_o.jpg" data-mid="4255111" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/888376/SolarD_003.jpg" width="500" height="375" width_o="500" height_o="375" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/888376/SolarD_003_o.jpg" data-mid="4283461" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/888376/SolarD-004.jpg" width="500" height="400" width_o="500" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/888376/SolarD-004_o.jpg" data-mid="4255113" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/888376/SolarD-005.jpg" width="500" height="375" width_o="500" height_o="375" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/888376/SolarD-005_o.jpg" data-mid="4255117" border="0" align="left"/> A collaboration with Claire Hoch and Will Schlough as part of Bob Bingham's Environmental Sculpture course, Greenscape is the landscape component to the Carnegie... http://www.joeyhays.com/Recycling http://www.joeyhays.com/following/joeyhays.com/Recycling Wed, 29 Dec 2010 13:12:27 +0000 Joey Hays 888325 A lump of Velveeta™ cheese melts from the upper funnel into the blue dog poo mold below.

GRRC uses a wireless signal from the plants in the cars to activate a micro controller that sends them on a ride when the levels stabilize or they become “bored”. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/GRRC-001.jpg" width="500" height="400" width_o="500" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/GRRC-001_o.jpg" data-mid="4252913" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/GRRC-002.jpg" width="500" height="400" width_o="500" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/GRRC-002_o.jpg" data-mid="4252898" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/GRRC-003.jpg" width="500" height="400" width_o="500" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/GRRC-003_o.jpg" data-mid="4252899" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/GRRC02_w_500.jpg" width="500" height="337" width_o="1118" height_o="755" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/GRRC02_w_o.jpg" data-mid="16951188" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/GRRC05_w_500.jpg" width="500" height="666" width_o="528" height_o="704" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/GRRC05_w_o.jpg" data-mid="16951193" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/horizbandsaw_w.jpg" width="432" height="576" width_o="432" height_o="576" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/horizbandsaw_w_o.jpg" data-mid="16951214" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/GRRC01_w.jpg" width="432" height="324" width_o="432" height_o="324" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/GRRC01_w_o.jpg" data-mid="16951217" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/Grinding_.jpg" width="470" height="352" width_o="470" height_o="352" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/Grinding__o.jpg" data-mid="16951222" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/GRRC03_w_500.jpg" width="500" height="336" width_o="755" height_o="508" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/GRRC03_w_o.jpg" data-mid="16951225" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/GRRC04_w_500.jpg" width="500" height="750" width_o="2048" height_o="3072" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45414/887417/GRRC04_w_o.jpg" data-mid="16951229" border="0" align="left"/> Green Roof Roller Coaster (GRRC) was a commissioned BigBot installed at the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh for the Robot250 festival.
