Drawings of the Salz Platz




For the past two weeks I have been working on technical drawings to represent my project. The Drawings shown here are perspective, plan, and section respectively. The smaller structure on the left is a place for storing the SaltMaker's tools, gear, and work clothes. The structure on the right is where he will reside. I put these on opposite sides of the ravine to seperate the workplace and the living place. There is a small pedestrian bridge linking the two that will go over a small dam that will collect seeping salt water running down the ravine. The cables connecting from the structures to the ground are made of a fine web of nylon fibers in an aluminum casing. This will cause a capillary action that will pull the salt out of the pool and it will collect on the cables. This is where the SaltMaker gets his supply of salt. A final model is soon to come.
