Proposed Fulham StadiumResearch and Development
Research and development led to many new methods of producing decorative techniques.
These illustrations demonstrate one such method.
) 1 | No.1. is a small model machine able to produce textures to a given scale. These small panels were put together to produce the gable end to a block of flats. |
) 2 | No. 2: To obtain the full scale pattern I bought an old mangle and made a concrete roller with the pattern produced in a similar manner to a cylinder seal. |
) 3 | No. 3: When the clay carrying the impressed pattern was cut into rectangles, it was placed under a home-made vacuum forming machine. |
) 4 | |
) 5 | I purchased a large number of unused refrigerator sides and via the vac machine sucked these down onto the shaped clay. When set they were removed, placed in full-size moulds, concrete was cast against them and the resulting panel was erected on the building (No.5). |
