For our deliverable we are hoping to make 2 abstract 3d prints using seasonal data collected from these two pools. Specifically, we will be focusing on the PH, ORP (Oxidation Reduction Protentional) , Temperature, and Water Flow. For each model representing each pool we will be using a combination of different color filaments in order to make the models more visually appearing and interesting. In the end , we hope to be able to make 3d abstract art that an be displayed on the wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are planning on first making a rectangular plane to represent the &#8220;timeline&#8221; grid of the data. The starting date will be  july 2020 until  2021. For each day a small cylindrical figure will be printed in a space in the grid formation we have.  For each figure, the temperature will control the height,  the water flow will represent the width, the ORP will bend the figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As far as what we expect the data to look like, we do not know fully know what the finished figure will look like but we definitely expect to see some interesting trends in the ORP (chlorine level) and flow level due to the change in season and changes in activities \/ activity level in the pool (for example : summer season vs in school season). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we have additional time in our project , we plan to  incorporate changes in colors  to represent if the PH falls below 7.2  (Black) or above 7.8 (Red).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Team Members<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Alan Paz<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ian Kahn<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Timeline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Week 1 (Nov 1 &#8211; 11 ) &#8211; Organizing the large data set to be parsed, creating the python script to read in \/ output data correctly in the format we need.

This academic article delves into the benefits and opportunities offered by data physicalization, such as offering an intuitive and memorable way to model data that might otherwise might be too confusing or not engaging enough to properly understand. This is certainly the case for our project as well. The various measurements we are looking at in the pool, PH, ORP (Oxidation Reduction Protentional) , Temperature, and Water Flow quite simply just seem like numbers to the everyday viewer, but with the help of a model, especially a 3d physicalized model, it truly brings the data to life and much easier to comprehend and significantly more engaging and accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second academic recourse we used was the various water data physicalisations \/ visualizations from the United States Geological Survey (USGS). On this site there a lot of really interesting and insightful visualizations on topics about water ranging from unequal access to water to a map of the drought in California. In particular , one data model that we found especially interesting and relevant was the &#8220;Gages Through the Ages&#8221; model. The USGS made an interesting and accessible visual representation of this water data through chronological time stamps and similarly in our project to visualize  PH, ORP (Oxidation Reduction Protentional) , Temperature, and Water Flow , we will be using chronological time stamps as well (likely daily). In both cases , of both our project and the USGS &#8220;Gages Through the Ages&#8221; model , the data is used to improve water quality \/ recourses while in our project the data we model \/ measure is also used to improve water quality \/ recourses while also helping ensure a safer swimming environment for patrons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As far as our artistic inspiration, we were inspired by both of these pieces in particular. The first one by <a href=\"https:\/\/herschelshapiro.com\/\">Herschel Shapiro<\/a> we both found very inspiring due to the use of various shades of blue \/ purple and the incorporation of different filament colors, this is something we are both really wanting to implement in our project. Additionally, the use of the swirl pattern \/ texture was really appealing to us as well. The second design project (linked below) we also found very inspiring to us. In this one , we found the concept of 3d printing masonry to be very applicable since it is essentially a form of wall art in a way as well. Additionally, we found their design and printing process to be very organized. In their process , they first designed a computationally symmetric and cohesive 3d model and then began testing different scaled mockups, we plan to follow a similar plan on testing smaller scale mockups before committing to our final , large print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/278688799_Opportunities_and_Challenges_for_Data_Physicalization\">https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/278688799_Opportunities_and_Challenges_for_Data_Physicalization<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/labs.waterdata.usgs.gov\/visualizations\/index.html#\">https:\/\/labs.waterdata.usgs.gov\/visualizations\/index.html#<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artistic Inspiration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-144-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-144-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-144-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-144-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-144-1140x760.png 1140w, https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-144-920x614.png 920w, https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-144-575x383.png 575w, https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-144-380x253.png 380w, https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-144.png 1360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Credit : <a href=\"https:\/\/herschelshapiro.com\/\">Herschel Shapiro<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/herschelshapiro.com\/maelstrom\">https:\/\/herschelshapiro.com\/maelstrom<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"580\" src=\"https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-145.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-145.png 750w, https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-145-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-145-575x445.png 575w, https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-145-380x294.png 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong> Credit: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/parametric-architecture.com\/advancement-of-technology-in-the-aec-industry-hive-3d-printed-masonry\">https:\/\/parametric-architecture.com\/advancement-of-technology-in-the-aec-industry-hive-3d-printed-masonry<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Description \/ Deliverables For this project, me and Alan are going to be using data collected from the UNM Olympic and Johnson pools, since we both work as lifeguards there, we both thought it would be really interesting and beneficial.
