so i just finished reading the article for this weekend, and I have to admit it took all day to get through, mostly because I could only read a page or two at a time. The article did a fairly good job of explaining the construction process, and I enjoyed looking at their new idea for a node connection, but I thought the article could have been more critical towards the process, there is little explanation of parts that did not work as well as they could have. The main problems I gathered from the article in regards to construction seem to be the length of the materials (so many finger joints) and the construction method itself, as in pulling and pushing the gridded mat up and down to get the shape. It seemed there were alot of changes in the process as the building went up, which I think is inevitable in the construction of any building.
I wonder if there could be a way of staggering the lathes of material, so as to avoid problems of joining two pieces into a single length.
hmm...
