Material Experiments

18.05.16

I sourced some materials to experiment with from Bicycle junction in Newtown. The guys in there were great and gave me several inner tubes and tires for free. I found an example of reusing inner tubes on instructables.com which inspired me to cut and weave them into a mat. link - http://www.instructables.com/id/Bike-Tire-Tube-Rug/step5/Weave/

I didn't choose to apply the material to any specific pavilion but in doing so had creative freedom to experiment with it how I wanted. I found the inner tubes to be a more versatile material than the tires themselves and hope that they can be incorporated into and benefit an existing pavilion design.
