Task
This is an individual assignment. First, I was required to look back at my bamboo project and develop the design to create spaces. Next, I have to study the materials that I want to use for my model. Then, I will have to produce a model that does not exceed 20m3 with a 1-to-10 scale. Lastly, I was required to make 6 A2 presentation boards with drawings and tattoo stamps on them and present them verbally.
Progress
Research on the materials
I have chosen timber and steel as two of my materials. Therefore, I research the pros and cons and some of their characteristics as the information can be helpful afterwards while I am designing my model.
Ergonomics study and design sketching
I have also studied on human ergonomics (mainly focused on myself ) and developed my design by starting with sketches.
Making Test Models
After gathering all the necessary research and design sketches, I started to develop them into 3D models. The first model was made with a 1-to-10 scale while the second one was with a 1-to-10Â scale.
Outcome
This model describes my sensorial experience as a first-year student at the university. The enclosed space was to show my behaviour of being shy and not opening up to people at first. Then, I started to step up and begin to explore. Throughout the exploration journey, there are obstacles everywhere but I managed to hold on to these obstacles (steel structures) and move forward and learn. It also showed the ups and downs feelings I have throughout my first year of uni experience.
