ASEE WORKING

Method One: Preparing connections from dry reed (sock).
 


 Thread three connectors on each pair of reed which are intended to produce a single bow.
 


Method two: coiling a thin rope around pair of reed which are intended to produce a single bow.



Stack of bows in the open position. Both connection methods.



Bows which are connected by a rope. It was bending for a week, kept their arc shape.



Creating four bows, which produce two cross bows while using the first method. Using dry reed connectors (sock).



Finding a temporary location and analysis of the foundation ground - digging pits 20-40 cm deep for locating the bows.



Laying the bows in the foundation pits.



Cover each hole in the ground and started weaving between the arches.



View at the weaving from the inside.



Single arc detail connecting to the ground.

Bye Bye Old Location



Hellooooo New Location









Reasons to choose the new location:
  • An open, flat area, clearly visible from the bike path, the mountain, the sky and the surrounding roads (previous place was behind a 3-meter hill)
  • More distant from the Ayalon river, hence possibly safer against floods
  • Not on the bike path but next to it
  • Better working area due to the closer shed which can be a temporary storage or shelter from the sun
  • Location is in a small "No Man's Land" in the edge of the agricultural area, which is used neither for agriculture nor for anything else
