ʻElua ʻano o nā hale kalepa: ʻano huinahā a me nā hale hoihoi. Inā ʻaʻole i kūkulu ʻia nā hale huinahā kiʻekiʻe a hāʻawi i nā hiʻohiʻona kupaianaha, ʻaʻole lākou e hāʻawi i ka nui ma mua o ka hana pono a me ka pono kūpono ʻole.
ʻOiai kēlā, he nui nā mea kālai hale e hoʻokūkū nei i ka orthodoxy, e moeʻuhane ana i nā manaʻo kuhikuhipuʻuone e hoʻohiwahiwa ana i ka maka a i kekahi manawa he mea hoʻohauʻoli. ʻAʻole ia he hoʻonui ke ʻōlelo ʻana, i kekahi mau hihia, ʻo ka hiʻohiʻona mai ka hale mai ua like ia me ka hiʻohiʻona mai ka hale mai.
ʻO ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo Solomon R. Guggenheim (New York), i hoʻolālā ʻia e Frank Lloyd Wright, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ma luna o kahi ʻano o nā mea poepoe, ʻoiai ʻo ka Zurich Insurance Group North American Headquarters Building (Schaumburg, Illinois), i hoʻolālā ʻia e Goettsch Partners, e hoʻohana ana i nā mea i ʻano huinahā nui e hāʻawi i ka poʻe i kahi manaʻo o ka hōʻoluʻolu. He ala poina ʻole e hui pū ai. Ua hele nā ​​​​​​mea kālai hale e like me Frank Gehry i waho, e pale ana i ka noʻonoʻo maʻamau a me ka hana ʻana i nā hiʻohiʻona me ka ʻole o nā ʻano maʻamau a i ʻole ka wānana, e like me ka Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles) a i ʻole ka Guggenheim Bilbao (Bil, Sepania). Bao).
He aha ka mea e hana ʻia ke hoʻokūkū nā mea hoʻolālā i ke ʻano o nā ʻāpana a me nā mea i hoʻohana ʻia e komo i kēia mau hale, e hoʻololi ana i nā ʻano maʻamau i nā mea maʻamau ʻole? ʻO nā lima lima, nā puka makani, a me nā ʻūpā puka he mau mea o kēlā me kēia lā e hoʻonui ai i ko mākou ʻike o kahi hale a i ʻole ke kūlana i kekahi ʻano, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole mākou e ʻike. ʻO ia ka makemake o Poole, Timeless Tube ma ʻEnelani, kahi hui hana i hoʻololi i ke ao o ka tubing ma kahi liʻiliʻi o kāna iho i ka hopena o nā makahiki 1980 i ka wā i hana ai i ka paipu oval kila kila mua o ka honua. Mai ia manawa, ua hoʻomau ʻo Timeless i ka hana ʻana i nā huahana tubing groundbreaking no nā ʻano noi like ʻole, e hoʻomaopopo mau ana i ka motto āna i hana ai nona iho: "Beautiful Design of Metal Tubing".
ʻO ka hihiʻo o ka ʻoihana ka hoʻolilo i ke ao nei i wahi ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. No ka hana ʻana i kēia, hoʻohana ia i nā ʻōmole metala i hana ʻia e hoʻololi i nā ʻano hana maʻamau i nā ʻāpana hoʻolālā kupaianaha.
"Ua hoʻoikaika ʻia mākou e ka mea hoʻolālā ʻoihana ʻAmelika nui ʻo Charles Eames, nāna i ʻōlelo kaulana: 'ʻAʻole nā ​​​​kikoʻī nā kikoʻī. Hoʻolālā lākou,'" wahi a Tom McMillan, ka luna nui a me ka ʻenekinia nui.
"Ke holo nei kēia ʻuhane ma o kā mākou hana āpau," i hoʻomau ai ʻo ia. "Makemake mākou e hāʻawi i ka hoʻolālā maikaʻi me kā mākou mau paipu, inā paha no ka hoʻolālā hale, nā lako hale a i ʻole kekahi mea mechanical loa."
ʻOi aku ma mua o ʻekolu mau makahiki o ka ʻike o Timeless Tube i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā hoʻolālā lima lima ʻokoʻa. ʻO kāna huahana mua, nā paipu oval a me nā hui kūikawā i hoʻohana ʻia e like me nā lima lima o nā waʻa. Hana ʻia mai ke kila kila 316L i hoʻopili maikaʻi ʻia e kū i nā kūlana kai ʻino, ua apo koke ʻia kēia huahana groundbreaking e nā mea kālai hale moana a puni ka honua. ʻAʻole wale ke ʻano oval nani i ʻoi aku ka nani ma mua o ka paipu poepoe, akā he pono palekana hoʻi ia no ka emi ʻana o ka paheʻe ʻana i ka wā e hopu ʻia ai e nā limahana a me nā ohua.
"ʻO nā moku holo moana hanohano e pili ana i ka nānā ʻana i nā kikoʻī," wahi a McMillan. "ʻO nā waiwai hoʻolālā e pili ana i ka maikaʻi kīnā ʻole a me ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻohana. Hoʻohana ʻia kā mākou mau paipu e nā mea kūkulu moku kaulana loa o ka honua. He akamai loa nā mea kālai moku - ʻaʻole lākou e hoʻokuʻu i nā kikoʻī. Kūpaʻa kā mākou mau paipu oval, a no ke kumu maikaʻi."
Eia nō naʻe, makemake ʻo Timeless e hana i nā ʻano hou, inā hāʻawi lākou i nā pono ma mua o nā paipu poepoe a hāʻawi i nā pono maopopo i ka mea hoʻohana hope. Ua hana hou ka hui i kahi ʻano hou o ka paipu no nā lima lima ma nā waʻa hoʻohiwahiwa: nā paipu radius huinaha. He paʻa kēia ʻano paʻa a hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia akā he lahilahi nā puka i waho no laila ʻaʻole ia e kū nui i waho. Hoʻopili maikaʻi a paʻa ka lima a puni ke ʻano, me nā ʻaoʻao i piʻo mālie ʻia.
ʻAʻole pono ka lōʻihi o ka paipu e hōʻike i kahi manaʻo. Hāʻawi kēia lima pōkole ma luna o kahi moku liʻiliʻi i kahi pā nani.
Ua hoʻomohala nā ʻenekinia kuʻuna i ʻeono mau ʻano paipu kū hoʻokahi, me ʻelua mau paipu wili. Hana ʻia ka hapa nui o nā huahana o ka hui mai ke kila kila 304L a me 316L, akā hoʻohana pū nā ʻenekinia i nā mea hoʻohuihui alumini, titanium, a me ke keleawe. ʻO ke kila māmā wale nō a lākou e hoʻohana ʻole ai no ka mea ʻaʻole ia e kū i ka pala a no laila e haumia ai ke kila kila.
"Eia kekahi, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā noi a mākou e hāʻawi aku nei he kiʻekiʻe loa, inā he mea hoʻonaninani, kūkulu a mechanical paha," wahi a McMillan. "ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi o ke kila akahai, akā he mau palena kona no nā noi a mākou e hana nei."
Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole ia manaʻo e kaupalena ana ʻo Timeless i kāna hana i kēia mau ʻano nui ʻeono. Ua hāʻawi kahi papahana hou e pili ana i kahi kahua pāʻani i nā ʻenekinia o ka hui i kahi manawa e hōʻike i kekahi mau hana noʻeau a me ka hana hou.
I ka makahiki 2019, ua hoʻolako ʻo Timeless i nā ʻauamo lima no ke alanui ma luna o ke kahua pāʻani kaulana o ka hui pôpeku Pelekane Premier League. Hāʻawi ke ala hele wāwae i nā hiʻohiʻona panoramic o North London mai ke kiʻekiʻe o 130 kapuaʻi, kahi e hiki ai i ka lehulehu ke hele ma waena o nā kahua i hōʻike ʻia me ke kau ʻana i nā kaula palekana, me nā ʻauamo paʻa no ka palekana hou aku.
Akā, ua paʻakikī ke kiʻi ʻana i kēia paʻa lima kila kila no nā mea kālai hale ma muli o kona ʻano kikoʻī ʻē aʻe: pono ia e lawa ka nui e kūpono ma luna o ka ʻāpana o ka pahu kila e hoʻopaʻa ana i nā ʻaoʻao o ka ʻupena kila kila i ke ala hele aniani. Pono lākou i kahi paipu maʻamau ʻole i nani ke ʻano, ʻano contour ma mua o ke kihi, a hoʻohālikelike ʻia e loaʻa kahi lua i ʻoki ʻia e ka laser ma kona kumu.
Ua loaʻa i nā mea kālai hale ʻo Timeless Tube, kahi i hāʻawi i kahi hopena no kahi paipu oval pālahalaha me nā laina poepoe maʻemaʻe. He ʻano paipu ia i hana ʻia e nā ʻenekinia he kakaikahi, akā he mau pono kūikawā kona ma mua o nā paipu poepoe. "ʻO ia ko mākou ʻano paipu ikaika loa," wahi a McMillan. "He mea pono maoli ia inā pono ka hana hou ʻana, no ka mea, he maʻalahi ke kūʻai aku i nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe, e like me nā spindles a me ke aniani a i ʻole nā ​​​​ʻāpana kaʻa, mahalo i kona mau ʻaoʻao pālahalaha," wahi āna.
I mea e uhi ai i nā ʻāpana kila, ua koi nā mea kālai hale i ka nui o kēia paipu e ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka mea i loaʻa i kēia manawa. He hui liʻiliʻi a wikiwiki ʻo Timeless ʻaʻole pono e hana i ke kaumaha o nā hana nui a me ka hana nui, no laila hiki iā ia ke hoʻolilo i ka manawa a me ka hoʻoikaika e hana i nā prototypes a me nā nui maʻamau no kāna mea kūʻai aku.
I ka hana ʻana i nā ana hou, ʻaʻole hiki iā Timeless ke hoʻokō i nā ana pololei i noi ʻia e nā mea kūʻai aku, no ka mea, ʻaʻole paha e hana kēia mau ana i kahi paipu me ka pono o ke kūkulu ʻana, a i ʻole ʻaʻole paha e like ka paipu me ke ʻano i makemake ʻia. Ma hope o ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka lakio ma waena o ka ovalization a me ka flattening, ua hoʻokō ʻo Timeless i kahi paipu e ana ana he 7.67 x 3.3 ʻīniha (195 x 85 mm) me ka mānoanoa o ka paia o 0.118 ʻīniha (3 mm). ʻOi aku ka haiki o ka ana lōʻihi he 0.40″ (10mm) ma mua o ke ana i kuhikuhi mua ʻia.
"Hoʻokumu mākou i kā mākou mau paipu ma ke kahakiʻi anu ʻana i nā lōʻihi paipu poepoe maʻamau ma ke ʻano o nā ʻōwili," wahi a McMillan. "ʻO ke kaʻina hana o ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka paipu he ʻano hana noʻeau. ʻAʻole loa ia he hihia o mākou e 'kuʻi' wale ana i ka paipu. Ke hoʻoholo mākou i kahi nui a mākou i ʻike ai e hana ana, hoʻoponopono mākou i nā hoʻonohonoho āpau i hiki iā mākou ke hana hou a hou i ka nui pololei. Akā me ka nui hou ... ʻaʻole mākou i ʻike pehea e pili ai iā mākou. Hoʻopuka nā metala like ʻole i nā hopena like ʻole. Pono ka hoʻokolohua.
ʻAʻole pono e hoʻopilikino pinepine ʻia ka paipu manawa ʻole no ka hoʻohana ʻana ma ke ʻano he pale hoʻonaninani no nā hale kūkulu, no ka mea, ua paʻa mua ke ʻano.
ʻO ka laina huahana a Timeless Tube e komo pū ana me ʻeono mau ʻano: Flat Oval, Oval, Twisted Oval, Twisted Rounded Square, Rounded Square, a me D. Aia i loko o ka laina nā nui maʻamau i kuhikuhi ʻia e nā code hana lima, maʻamau 32 a 50 mm (1.25 a 2 in), a me nā mea ʻē aʻe he nui.
"Ma UK, he mau koi paʻa loa kā mākou no ke kūkulu ʻana a me nā mea a mākou e hoʻohana ai, a ua hoʻokō piha mākou," wahi a McMillan. "Ua hana mākou i nā hoʻokolohua deflection koʻikoʻi, e hōʻoia ana he 54 pakeneka ka ikaika o kēia paipu oval pālahalaha ma mua o ka paipu poepoe maʻamau. Akā, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o kēia pale ma mua o kahi 'pale kino' e hoʻomaha ai me ka ʻoluʻolu," wahi āna.
Ua ʻike ʻia ka hana a Timeless ma kekahi mau hale kaulana a me nā hale, me nā lima o ke alahaka hele wāwae kaulana o Foster + Partners (i ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo Millennium Bridge), a me ke kahua kaʻaahi futuristic i loko o Canary Wharf ma Lākana. Ua kuhikuhi ʻo Ron Arad i nā paipu oval a Timeless ma ka atrium o ka Hale Opera ʻo Tel Aviv hanohano, kahi i hōʻike pinepine ʻia i nā puke hoʻolālā.
"ʻAʻole kūpono ke hoʻolālā ʻana i ia mau hale kaila a laila hoʻopau iā lākou me nā paipu poepoe maʻamau," wahi āna. "Manaʻo wau ua ʻike nā mea kālai hale maikaʻi loa i kēlā, a ʻo ia ke kumu e hauʻoli ai mākou i kahi waihona mea kūʻai aku honua."
I ʻApelila 2020, ua kūʻai ʻo Gigi Aelbers, ka mea nona ka mea hoʻolālā kūloko o Synergigi lāua ʻo Montana, i 5.8 m (20 ft) o ka paipu oval kila kila 316L a me 8 mau mea hui mai Timeless e hoʻohana ma ke ʻano he mau wāwae no kahi komisina papa ʻaina kope maʻamau.
Ma ke ʻano a Aelbers i wehewehe ai he "hui pū ʻana o ke kūlohelohe a me ke geometric", ua hoʻokomo pū ke komisina i ʻelua mau papa ʻaina asymmetric kupaianaha - hoʻokahi i loko o ka walnut ʻeleʻele a ʻo kekahi i loko o ka ʻoka keʻokeʻo - i kau ʻia ma ke ʻano U mau ma luna o nā mea hoʻopili oval i hoʻopili ʻia. Pono ʻo Aelbers e hōʻoia ʻaʻole i uhi ʻia ka moena palupalu o kāna mea kūʻai aku e nā wāwae papa ʻaina chunky. Pono ʻo ia i nā paipu nani a ʻaʻole e hoʻopilikia e hoʻokaʻawale i ka moena i ka hiki. Ua kauoha ʻo ia i nā laʻana mai Timeless e hōʻoia i loaʻa iā ia ka nui o ka paipu kūpono.
Hoʻohana ka mea hana kila kuhikuhipuʻuone ʻo Daniel Boteler i nā mea hoʻohui e hoʻohui i nā paipu ma nā kihi, kahi āna i ʻōlelo ai he "maʻalahi ma mua o ka hana ʻana i 45 degere ma kahi ʻoki" a loaʻa ka hopena maikaʻi aʻe. ʻOi aku ka laumania o ka wili ʻana no ka mea he wili pololei ia ma kahi o ka wili fillet. Me 20 mau makahiki o ka ʻike hana metala, ʻōlelo ʻo Boteler makemake ʻo ia e hoʻohana hou i nā paipu metala i hana ʻia.
Ua hoʻoheheʻe ʻia nā wāwae papa ʻōwili i ke one no kahi ʻano ʻano mua. Hoʻohana ʻo Albers i ka pena a me ka beeswax e hana i kahi uhi metala "pale i ka pōkā" āna i kāwili ai iā ia iho. I ka nīnau ʻia ʻana no ke aha ʻo ia e hoʻoikaika nui ai i ka ʻimi ʻana i ke ʻano kūpono no ka paipu, ua wehewehe ʻo Ebers: "Aia nā mea āpau i nā ʻano maʻalahi. E ʻike ka hapa nui o ka poʻe makemake lākou iā ia, akā ʻaʻole lākou i ʻike maoli i ke kumu. , ke ʻole lākou he intuitive loa. He mea hou ia i ka maka - ʻike paha ka noʻonoʻo subconscious he mea hou ia. Ua ʻike lākou ʻaʻole ia e like me kahi papa ʻaina pikiniki ma ka paka, "wahi āna.
Mai Tokyo a i Topeka, hoʻolako mau ʻo Timeless i nā paipu a puni ka honua, ʻo ʻAmelika ʻĀkau kona mākeke honua nui loa. Ua hoʻoholo ʻo McMillan ʻaʻole hiki i nā mea kūʻai ke loaʻa ke ʻano like a me ka nui a i ʻole ke ʻano like ma kahi ʻē.
"ʻIke loa he mau kumukūʻai hoʻouna e noʻonoʻo ai, akā inā ʻo ka maikaʻi ka mea nui, he kumukūʻai ia e pono ke uku ʻia," wahi āna.
Ma waho aʻe o nā mea o kēia wā e like me ka papa ʻaina a Synergigi, ua ʻike pū ʻo Timeless i kahi hoʻōla hou ʻana o nā ʻano kuʻuna. Ke noi pinepine ʻia nei nā mea hoʻolālā o ka hui e hana hou a hoʻihoʻi paha i ka hana metala me kahi manaʻo kahiko. Kokoke i ke kālai ʻia, ʻo kā lākou mau oval wili kūikawā a me nā paipu huinaha e hoʻomanaʻo ana i nā lako wili wili o ke kenekulia 17.
"Ua hoʻohana ʻia kā mākou mau paipu wili i nā hana noʻeau, nā kiʻi kālai ʻia a me nā hoʻolālā kukui kiʻekiʻe, a me nā balustrades maʻamau," wahi a McMillan. "I ka wā o ka hana robotic, ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei au makemake ka poʻe e ʻike i nā hana lima. Ua ʻike nā mea pena kiʻi a me nā mea hoʻolālā hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohana i kā mākou mau paipu e hoʻomaikaʻi i kā lākou hoʻolālā."
Ma waho aʻe o nā noi hoʻolālā hale a me nā mea hoʻonaninani, ke kali nei nā manawa kūpono ʻē aʻe. Ma kekahi kūlanakauhale a i ʻole ka ʻāpana kūlanakauhale, kahi e hoʻohana ai kekahi kaiāulu i nā ʻoihana, manaʻoʻiʻo ʻo McMillan hiki i nā polokalamu ke hoʻohui i ka maalea e pani i nā mea maʻamau a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea hoihoi ʻole.
"Aloha au i ka manaʻo o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ducts e hūnā i nā puka makani maikaʻi ʻole, a i ʻole e hoʻohui i ke ʻano i kahi alapiʻi hana," wahi āna. "Ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei mākou, ma ke ʻano aesthetically, ergonomically a i kekahi manawa structurally, ʻo nā lōʻihi o ka paipu i hoʻohālikelike ʻia a hana ʻia he koho ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o nā paipu poepoe maʻamau."
Ua lilo ʻo Tube & Pipe Journal i makasina mua i hoʻolaʻa ʻia no ka lawelawe ʻana i ka ʻoihana paipu metala i ka makahiki 1990. I kēia lā, ʻo ia wale nō ka puke paʻi ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau i hoʻolaʻa ʻia no ka ʻoihana a ua lilo i kumu ʻike hilinaʻi loa no nā poʻe loea paipu.
I kēia manawa me ke komo piha ʻana i ka paʻi kikohoʻe o The FABRICATOR, komo maʻalahi i nā kumuwaiwai ʻoihana waiwai nui.
Ua hiki ke loaʻa piha ʻia ka paʻi kikohoʻe o The Tube & Pipe Journal i kēia manawa, e hāʻawi ana i ke komo maʻalahi i nā kumuwaiwai waiwai o ka ʻoihana.
E hauʻoli i ke komo piha ʻana i ka paʻi kikohoʻe o STAMPING Journal, kahi e hāʻawi ai i nā holomua ʻenehana hou loa, nā hana maikaʻi loa a me nā nūhou ʻoihana no ka mākeke sila metala.
I kēia manawa me ke komo piha ʻana i ka paʻi kikohoʻe o The Fabricator en Español, komo maʻalahi i nā kumuwaiwai waiwai nui o ka ʻoihana.
