PROJECT 2

TECTONICS: DESIGN PRINCIPLES, ANTHROPOMETRIC AND ERGONOMIC EXPLORATION

The design project allows students to work with timber and understand the nature and characteristics of timber and it is used in our design. We will learn about the timber's life cycle, joints, joinery and structural quality. Moreover, to develop tectonic with anthropometry and ergonomics structures using other supporting materials like steel or fabric. 

SKETCHES AND INSPIRATION IDEAS

The idea came from the shell structure above, giving the design a sense of homelike. the sketches were drawn by me and the inspiration and idea exploration came from pinterest. Different materials and method helped me explore further and understand the structure better. Not to exclude, studies on Ergonomics was definitely considered for this Assignment. By the help of my Tutors and friends, I came up with a narrative before constructing. My narrative was giving users the sense of being comfortable alone in a space, someone who wants to temporary escape reality. While, staring at the outside world from the inside.
