Just a short post about the second Exercise in Construction. The task was to draw a construction manual on how to braid the hat. It proved to be terribly difficult to just imagine how to braid three strings of two rattanthreads in 2D and even more difficult to draw that out. The resulting manual in A1-format looks quite poor and I am not very satisfied (so was our assistant...) but I did not have enough time and energy to fully think and draw out every thread so I just drew them as lines (cheap, I know). Also for the untrained drawer it seems to be quite challanging to sqetch the hat as a whole.
Perhaps on a side note some words on the name of the hat. In lecture we heard about the similarities of hats and houses providing a protective covering from above (most houses do that from sides as well, though). And looking at our finished hat we had associations like airy, light, white, sky, and so on. So after throwing around random thing that came to our minds we finally chose Casa Blanca to be the name, for obvious reasons.
