| Marie, not to be too argumentive, but temperature does have a very dramatic effect on relative humidity. That's why it's called relative humidity. And then there are condensation concerns related to dew points. Recent research shows that temperature can effect dimensional change in some organic materials more than previously thought and can even cause failure of some adhesives and glues. A lot depends on number, range, and duration of cycles. | |||||

| ... tolerance and whatever joy is to be our lot on this plane of existence. What you pass on to us from this research, seems to corroborate my own long-held view, that it might be a miracle that any of us can communicate or share any part of our thoughts and experiences with each other AT ALL (and hope to have them comprehended) considering (I had thought) our various origins and individual experiences. Now the added concept, that these individualities may be basic to our biology, adds a much greater dimension to the argument, that we had better value and enjo ... | |||||

| A Secret Component of Value | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | cracker | General discussion | |
| A Secret Component of Value There is a dimension Hamilton missed. Years ago I walked through the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art with my friend Robert Riley, who was then the Curator of Media Art at SFMOMA. He pointed to a sculpture in the museum?s collection and remarked, ?Now that?s fully inhabited.? Bob is one of the smartest people I have ever met. Usually I let remarks like this slide because there is a chance I?ll be out of my depth, anyway. For some reason, this time I stopped and asked what he meant. His answer precipitated one of those life-chang ... | |||||

| shipping The chair's too big for a standard size box, I'm afraid. It's roughly 26 x 26 x 26 intact, and taking off the base removes ~10-12" from the height. It's not heavy at all, but it's so large most shippers use dimensional weight to calculate the cost. Thanks for the help with the screws, too. I was afraid to try without getting some advice, first. | |||||

| Weight I'm sure the seller would tell you -- he answered all my questions promptly and candidly -- but a Womb chair weighs 38 pounds, so I'd expect the settee to weigh under 100. With something that large, though, it's the dimensional weight rather than the actual weight that matters, so if you're trying to get quotes from Plycon or Craters & Freighters or whatever, just tell them it weighs 100 pounds. | |||||

| Sports & Leisure is my... Sports & Leisure is my favorite category in Trivial Pursuit. But I have a pretty good memory too, so maybe don't ask me twice what the capitol of Iceland is. The pursuit of happiness has become these days in America a three dimensional scary illusion where our every sick lunge for a form of pleasure or desire or satisfaction - from NFL football to the newest movie to Dancing with the Stars - turns very finally upon the seeker of such things to hunger and need and fear. I, for one, am a lazy opponent of the four day work week. Our pu ... | |||||

| I agree. It does act as a pli... I agree. It does act as a plinth or pedestal. Perhaps this reveals a bias of my art training. A contemporary view of three dimensional art that I strive to keep in mind with my work is that the pedestal is a trope that serves to isolate a work from it's environment. It also serves to make a work say,"look at me! I am art with a capitol A". I do not want my furniture to do that for the most part. I want it to be great design merely by being so, Not by proclaiming it's greatness. There are cases where this plinth effect is less ... | |||||

| ... usually, you can pick a dimension for say the length, and it tells you 4", well, if you are not happy with it, you can type a new dimesion, and the square will change it's shape to the new dimension. If you add stuff to you cube, and relate the new parts to it, you can change them as well. Draw a table with table top of 36"x60" and leg height of 35", then tweak every aspect of it later, making it bigger or smaller, lower or higher, without having to redraw the whole thing, just type in new numbers. | |||||

| parametrics simplified Hi GuyinSF, I'll try to keep it simple. A parametric modeller is a computer application that allows you to change one variable in a design, like a dimension or a geometrical relationship, and all other variables will be updated automatically without you having to redraw them. So if you consider a simple shape like a 2D rectangle with sides A and B, and you give a relationship of A=3B (meaning side A is three times the length of side B) then any time you change one dimension or the other, your computer will always update the size of the ... | |||||

Dried plant life appear as trees or foliage in this landscape, while softly glowing louvered or grilled "lanterns" stand in the room as objects. The ceiling fixture has been obscured behind a floating ceiling-colored plane (as described elsewhere); a glow extends softly across the ceilng. Opposite the long. low wall piece (which actually departs the room through door openings at each end) is the ... | |||||

| Gustaf is right: It's about... Gustaf is right: It's about dimensional weight. And that's why shipping with USPS (or any other airmail service) is either too expensive or impossible for larger items. Sea freight is quite slow, but still the way to go here I guess. Bongo seems quite trustable, I've seen some forwarding services which seemed dubious or got bad reviews on the net. Maybe Bongo's worth a try. | |||||

| I think the problem is that s... I think the problem is that since Deco and the boom in cheap veneer people have come to see wood as being a 2 dimensional highly consistent material...which it can be but its not the whole story. So when they see posts and rails and darker end grain it isn't quite what they expect, its the sheerness and roundedness of so much design from the 20's onwards that have led us to expect disguising surfaces. | |||||
