WEEK 8 S2: Soldering (Attempting Repairs)

In order to understand the human and personal scale of the project, I decided to take on my own task of observing one of the repair activities. Therefore, I decided to fix my broken laptop charger and begin soldering:





After doing some research on YouTube, I came across two people who helped guide the way to fixing my laptop charger. After last week's tutorial, I have begun considering the virtual, in terms of how people may engage with the virtual in repairs. These days people would be quick to go to the internet to find a solution for fixing a broken item. I want to capture this notion and embody it within the building. Below are a sequence of photographs showing the deconstruction and fixing of the laptop charger:




The timelapse below shows the full sequence of how I fixed the charger:


The tools used are illustrated below:


I will be creating some illustrations to accompany this as well as other images demonstrating the functioning of some of the repair spaces.

Have a look at Parker Morris space standards for housing. Perhaps you can create space standards for enjoyable repair work?... so that it can become an activity of leisure!
