  Nylon is widely used in the construction industry for a number of different applications. It is ideal for the construction industry because of its low weight, high pressure-bearing capacity, high wear and corrosion resistance, and excellent impact resistance. Another advantage is Nylon’s low coefficient of friction, which means that it can often be applied with low or no lubrication. Nylon is often used in rods, sheets, tubes, sheaves, wear pads, outrigger pads, drapery hardware, roofing bolts, fixtures, plumbing fittings, window frame spacers, and even safety nets. As the nation rebuilds post-COVID, we’re helping the construction industry literally rebuild. Did you know cast nylon is a popular material for many construction building supplies and applications? Keep reading to learn more about how cast nylon is used in this vital industry. APPLICATIONS The typical applications for cast nylon in construction and building are vast and growing each year. Here are some of the most com...

 Once I went for a walk to find something out of it. I prioritised seashore as subject so I went there. The thing amazed me was those different type of wave and those sounds that was making by it. So I came out with some deep research why and how its having differences with different types of waves. What I find out was even amazing. After some study i came up with some results. The first thing I saw pebbles movement depending on those wave. Those pebbles were when the wave is stronger and after the wave’s is gone those sands are making some kind of texture that’s visible in the picture. I made a conceptual section that shows those texture. The time I was doing my long section, I give it a thought about my subject that I’ll be working for further. And because of most was related to seashore so I saw and study about the waste of seashore both man-made and natural and tried to make something up out of it. In my study I found we can get a lot of fish net that s been thrown out by the f...

 Engagement with a marginalised 'backyard' community HUMANS ACTIVITY FLORA  AND FAUNA TECHNOLOGY WEATHER INFASTRUCTURE

 This project started with “Take an object for a walk”. I’ve walked through that way and blocks I have made sections for them. My task was to identify a marginalized “backyard” community which includes humans, non-humans, flora and fauna, constructions, technologies, weather, infrastructure, journey, etc. from this long section. I started my journey for situational analysis at a school where those students were walking, shouting, running, and playing with one another. Where they had to be careful while crossing the road. Which is a matter of concern for the parents. Then I saw a big lorry which interests me. Because it was carrying building materials like wood from Scotland to here for assemblage. To explain situational analysis for this lorry it's scary for people who are trying to pass the road. In fact, sometimes people who are driving small cars and motorcycles are afraid to drive beside this kind of huge lorry. Because it's carrying huge loads it also affects those specifi...

 FROM WASTE TO WONDER 3D PRINTED LAMPS MADE FROM RECYCLED FISHNETS A subdivision of Signify, Philips MyCreation are small regional 3D printing hubs that 3D print lamps from filament made of recycled fishing nets. Fishing nets are made of very tough nylon, but have a short life span of only 3-6 months, because they break or become cloudy and no longer catch enough fish. Often, broken nets are seen as useless and either end up on the landfill, or worse, are left behind, creating dangerous ‘ghost nets’ in the ocean. The filament is developed by the UK-based company Fishy Filaments. Their polymer blends are 100% recycled without added pigments or other modifiers. The nets, collected in Cornwall, are sorted according to colour and wear, and processed separately. Using this filament, Philips MyCreation created the Coastal Breeze collection, a variety of lamps in gradual blue hues. The lamps are printed on request.

 FROM WASTE TO WONDER A helmet made of upcycled shell waste Japanese company Koushi Chemical Industry, in collaboration with the village of Sarufutsu, developed a helmet made with discarded shell from the food industry. Shellfish use their shells to protect themselves against enemies. Scallops are the shellfish that Japanese people eat the most, and consequently, these shells are what are discarded the most. Using the discarded scallop shells, Koushi Chemical Industry designed a hard hat as protective head gear for the fishing community in Sarufutsu village, where around 40,000 tons of scallop shells go to waste every year. The shells are first washed and sterilised, pulverised and turned into pellets by mixing it with recycled plastic. The pellets are then poured into moulds and formed into shape. The structure of the helmet, called Shellmet, was also inspired by shells. The ribbed structure increases the helmet’s strength by 30 per cent.

 All of a sudden one day I went to the seashore at midnight. And it surprises me in many ways. I saw a group of fishermen walking by the seashore to catch fish. And I was lucky to witness a fisherman catching a fish which I made a video of that you watch here. It felt amazing. I talked to that fisherman and they said mostly at night fish come to the seashore as it became safe for them to be and that's why they used to come to catch fish at night. It was very quiet, and dark and the sound was very soothing. It really was a memorable incident.It was an assemblage of fish huk,fish,storage box,some people

 Before I came back from the sea I heard a sound and I stopped looking for it. I saw a hovercraft coming towards me. Which causes loud sounds, a splash of water, and heavy winds. Lots of people were looking at it just like me. I made video of it which you can watch here.Besides this, I wonder if something else was happening there like fishes in the path could get afraid and try to run here and there. It was a combination of both good and bad after a situational analysis of a hovercraft.

Here comes the most interesting part. “Rhythm of ocean waves sound”- I found out there are different types of wave sounds. I recorded 7 different types of sound and collected them from the different seaside. Which you can hear Quite interesting   RHYTHM OF PEBBLES AND SAND 

 

 We've been told to bring four pages of work about situational analysis. Situational analysis involves assessing the internal and external factors that may impact an organisation's performance, including its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. It is an important tool for strategic planning and decision-making. On the first page, we have to choose a picture that lets us express what's on our mind. The second page should be about arranging pictures according to the method of a matrix with a measurement of 5*5. Especially those pictures that we get from colour workshops, epc workshops, taking an object for a walk, sticks, and situational maps For the next 3rd and 4th pages, we have been told to write about what happened in situational mapping. That's why I made a long section for the third page. where I talked about different situations like trees, lamp posts, school, dog walkers, birds dropping, the seashore, hovercraft, etc. and on page 4, I made an abstra...

 

Our visit to “FORT WIDLEY’’ We’ll be talking here about the Fort Widley. The Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom recommended that Fort Widley be built on top of Portsdown Hill. It was designed to protect the city from attack from the rear. We’re tagged in a team of 5 member to go and visited this historical place under the supervision of Milena Metalkova. Thanks to her for scouting us to this place and her husband hospitality. We all are thankful to both of them.  The receptionist talks to us as we enter the building. The Fort Widley Tunnel is assisted by a person.  SITE ANALYSIS One of the forts named after the Prime Minister was intended for the defense of the dockyard. It's very close to Fort Southwick. The roofs concealed by earth were built by Captain Crossman, Royal Engineers. The scarp and counterscarp walls are made of flint. After completion in 1871, the fort was given to the navy. The Royal Engineers Bomb Disposal Unit was based at Fort Widley durin...
