PROJECT 1 : CRISIS KITCHEN
Paying special attention to the craft of connecting two components or materials together, students will use prototyping and model-making as a way of exploring this process of joinery creation. It will emphasize on the understanding of prototype making towards fabrication methods. The representation of image and identity would become an added value that will reflect an understanding of material, joinaries, ergonomics and appealing to consumer’s taste. A3 Presentation board, Mini prototype model (1:10) , Model of detailing joints (To Scale)
Step 1: Choose 4 (four) words from this list.
Step 2: Define what each word means. Research the actual meaning then, use your own words to describe them.
Step 3: Find an inspiration (I would prefer that it’s an everyday object like a scissors or a belt) that relates/describes that word.
Step 4: Sketch them into diagrams (showing the movement & connections) Each word must have 5 sketches.
PROJECT 2 : EXPLORING CONNECTIVE JOINERS
PART 1: HUMAN ACTIVITY & UNDERSTANDING YOUR USERS (20%) The second project will run concurrently with Crisis Kitchen. Introduce one human activity that can be done in/with/on your edible garden system. Can people sit on it? Lay down on it? Update their social media? Determine your target group. Who are you designing for? Senior citizens? Kids (12 years & below)? College students? Young professionals? Small families? People with disabilities? People with small pets?
1. Research on appropriate anthropocentric & ergonomics.
2. Research on appropriate color palettes, materials & design trends suitable for your target group
