Oregon Health Museum

Health is a social conversation. Our health relies on the health of our environment. OREGON Nearly 25% of the medical industries demand is caused by environmental hazards. As Oregon Health and Sciences University of Portland conrtinues to expand their HEALTH campus to the south waterfront the characteristics of the neighborhood will adapt over time to accomodate the people who gather here. Health affects all generations MUSEUM and races. With an advancing medical field, the industry is consistently adapting Portland, OR to new knowledge. Translating new understandings to the public can foster a Winter 2016 community of diverse individuals to come together and promote new standards for what defines a “healthy” society.

A stress analysis tool helps determine weak-points on the model and software increases the mesh density of the structure to compensate. Though Root notes further analysis of the weight distribution and point loads will be needed to create a human body exhibit fully functioning limb.” The optical or light microscope uses visible light transmitted through, refracted around, or reflected from a specimen. The resolution of a specimen is highly dependent upon the light waves. Some light frequencies must be absorbed to different degrees by structures inside the cell and this allows you to see the specimen. Microscopes are limited in resolution by the frequency of the light waves. http://www.microscopemaster.com/how-does-a-microscope-work.html#sthash.v3ayMlzc.dpuf “BLOOM” -Odesza FIBER FIBERS HEMP OPAQUE STRONG Not only is hemp strong, but it also holds its shape, stretching less THIN than any other natural fiber. The cellulose content is about 70%. The LIGHT main uses of hemp fiber were inrope, sacking, carpet, nets clothing, FLEXIBLE paper, and webbing. TISSUE PAPER AMBIENT Tissue can be made from recycled paper pulp. Absorbency, basis LAYERED weight, thickness (caliper), bulk (specific volume), brightness, stretch, SOFT appearance and comfort. Hygiene, facial tissues, paper towels, ABSORPITIVE wrapping tissue, toilet paper, paper towels, acoustic disrupter TISSUE TISSUES VOLUMETRIC FIBERS COMBINED HEMP Hemp naturally does not hold its form easily. When wrapped around a hollow volume, Elmer’s glue, helped in solidifying the strings around the volume. The hollow form is imagined through a redundate layering of various length pieces of hemp string. TISSUE PAPER Tissue paper can naturally hold its form if there is a fold applied to the surface, but the result is weak structure. Using a similar method as hemp, the result is an ambient hollow volume frozen in time. Capturing light and shadow through various thicknesses and wrinkles in the paper. VOLUMETRIC TISSUES urban entrance entrance to waterfront.
