Lid of Lids Mockup

AOP in Architecture, Professional Work, Research

Our team finally decided to go forth with our second full scale mockup of the suspended mason jar ceiling and here are a few shots from this weekend's test.  I was pretty satisfied with our connection detail between the mason jar lid and the fishing line that we are using to suspended the lid from the peg board ceiling.  We were able to come up with a system that eliminates all knot tying by threading the fishing line through the back of an ear ring and sandwiching it between the ear ring back and the back side of one piece of a circular velcro strip.  It did take a little practice, but overall the system seems to work pretty efficiently.  The velcro also allows for some adjustability which will hopefully work in our favor once we begin final assembly.
