May 24, 2014 – Building the basic triangle units for the Flock houses – Omaha

For 2 weeks Bemis staff and Design team members  constructed basic triangles. We use recycled metal and wood from a metal board mural and maple flooring. In the wood shop,  metal is cut into triangles and wood flooring is reshaped into a frame.

To combine these basic units into the essential TRIANGLES that will form the walls of the Flock houses, we fit two plates on either side of the triangle frames.

A plain plate is on one side and a plate with holes cut for bolts is on the other side. We place them where the wood frames of 3 triangles meet.

Triangular plates bolted to the points of the large TRIANGLE secure the tips.
