ARCH 169- Final Project
This project was an exploration of the different applications of wattle and daub, more specifically the different densities and the permeability that can be achieved. The first step was testing the possible densities and permeability of just the wattle through both tight and spaced weaving patterns. The different patterns show that there can be different real world applications for wattle outside of just structural walls. These patterns suggest the potential for partition walls, curtain walls, doors, screens, and just regular bases for the application of daub. Next was applying the daub to the screens through two applications. The first is a mud wash on a tightly weaved screen and the second is a mud infill/casting on a screen with spaced weaving.
The applications explored above were later explored at a larger scale with a section model of a corner showing how the spaced and tight weaving meet and how they interact with the daub. The model shows the different layers that make up a wattle and daub wall, also showing the instances where the wattle can just exist without the daub.
