I set my design on a star shape as it would be easy to construct and curving the spaghetti wasn't able to curve as sussesfully as I thought.
I firstly placed the sections into the correct shapes as they would look once they have been glued. testing out how the structure would look before gluing. Once I was satisfied I used the glue gun to secure them in place.
I separated the sections into triangles as two triangles creates a star shape which therefore four triangles creates a 3D star.
Once each indival piece was glued I then created a 3D star and attached the parts together.
In my opinion the out come of the structure could have been better as spaghetti was miss-shaped when I used the glue gun as the heat from the glue gun makes the spaghetti become weak which creates the structure to become miss-shaped.

The next part of the task we had to produce a paper packaging that would help protect the spaghetti from being crushed. The shape of the structure was very angular, I used this shape as a basic temple to create the packaging. I used the skill of origami to create the same angular shape as the spaghetti structure among this the tension from the ball would be spread from the four edges of the packaging resulting of the structure from be destroyed.
For the strip around the bottom acts as another support to hold up the fold paper on top so tht it would be harder to ruin.
This was the completed structure and packaging.
This was the packagings and structures before it was destroyed.
Theses were the packagings and structures after they were destroyed.
My structure was sucsesful to keep some of its shape after being swashed by the ball. In hindsight I should of made the edges of the structure a lot stronger by adding more spaghetti so that it would of been harder for the ball to destroy.
After the process of producing a spaghetti structure I then had a better design basing it on three diamond shaped structures so that the overall structure would have been alot stronger and rigid.
In my opinion I didn't like the outcome of my structure as the shape wasn't that appealing. If I would do it again I would of thought through my design and use more planning before creating it as it didn't look very unique to the other structures that was there.

When I visited the Tate Modern For these structures in particular reminds me and relates very well to the spaghetti structures I created. instead of using spaghetti Gego Gertrud Goldschmidt uses sin titular and bronze creating these groups of floor-based sculptures.

Do Ho Suhu's Silk Replicas (Vaious Abodes)
He was born in 1962 his work evolved around the past and present homes Presenting a 'home within a home e.g. 'Fallen Star' is in the Stuart collection in San Deigo, CA, it is a cottage built from scratch which was permently attached to an exsisting house I'm my opinion this particular piece reminds me of the house from the disney film 'Up' as in the last sence the house is left on the tallest clif. It was built during 2011 after seven years of the initial design it was ready to be looked at by visitors. The perfect home 2003 replica of Suh's New York apartment
