The first idea comes from this simple random mockup. Paper marks created the edges and corners,makes each panel have a different shape.
The sketches I drew for my idea-- a chair .
Using Rhino and Sketchup to make my 3D model.
My design comes out.Its basicly a chair with different triangular panels randomly extending from the top pentagon.
Each panel can represent one of the ideas. And once you open the door on one of the panels and store your idea, that panel is really become an idea.
Each panel can be opened and store your note or small sketches.
The internal space of each panel is triangular shape as well, as it has more relationship to the outside shape.
The reason I use transparent material is becauce people can look though the internal and realize the notes inside, make them to be curious and take a look.
Imagine everyone in our studio have one of this chair=v=...
The design you have come up with shows a good basic understanding of the brief. The chair concept shown is very personal to its user and has the potential to replace a locker if the design was taken further. As you say it could indeed be used by every student in the studio space. As far as the function of the chair goes I'm not sure about the comfort! It also is really just an object and there is no real experience or interaction available to the owner. Perhaps a more communal idea could be to move away from a piece of furniture like it is currently. I think this form has more potential to create an installation of much larger proportions available for students to gain inspiration from others, which would move away from this slightly limiting, personal concept and be more beneficial. The triangular shapes however are very appealing to me and the transparency works well displaying fragments of different drawings/ideas. Photoshop skills are also quite convincing! Well done. Perhaps to extend this even further you could have included some display of these drawings facing out from the panels of the chair to really show how it would look in the studio environment.

The trash can you have designed has met the requirements of the brief and the required use of 3D modelling is evident, although it is a shame that no one could print their projects using the 3D printer! The overall concept looks good aesthetically with the use of random polygons and the use of transperant reflective material gives it a nice finish. However, your concept does lack depth in the sense that the form was created arbitrarily, I am unsure to why you have used random paper forms to influence your design. The space in the trash-can could have also been utilised more effectively as it appears that only the outer edge spaces seem to be usable. The fact that your trash-can is meant for mass use and placed in the design studio which is a relevant and well populated area makes idea networking easily achievable. This would be very helpful for students looking for inspiration. Perhaps this interactivity could have been developed further by increasing the involvment of the students.

Your trashcan idea was a very applicable one to studio and interesting in that each student would have their own chair to fill with personal ideas and fragments of themselves.
ReplyDeleteI particularly liked how the ideas in your trash can are visible for everyone to see, and the notion that people would be encouraged to explore and gain inspiration from the display of other people's ideas. However you seem to have limited yourself by placing ONE idea in to each individual space. By isolating each idea, it is difficult to see these ideas in a new light or context. Could you have thought more carefully of the re-birth of ideas? Instead of just storing the ideas for display, could these ideas have been placed in a way that is more interactive? However I do like the fact you have incorporated an important part of architecture (the sharing of ideas, inspiration ) in a way that students can involve themselves and interact with eachother. Well done :)
