The main aim of Project 2 is to expand the interpretation of the users by exploring the relationships between human body and designed form. We as the users will define the intention of the space and its form based on their personality and human body. In this project we will also be introduced to basic design principles such as rudimentary ways in which to order and organize spaces and forms. Furthermore develop an understanding of scale and proportion with relation to the human body.
Project 2 will be divided into 2 stages; first we shall explore the notions of scale and proportion. This is done through a series of exploratory in-class exercises where we explore human form (anthropometry). We will then progress on to understanding how the human body relates to space, and further developing an understanding of scale and proportion in relationship with body and space. The 2 stages mentioned will be presented by groups in the intention to enhance the ability to articulate space and form from interpretations of the users. This development will be through a series tests and investigations involving scaled models ‘study models’. The Final Design will then be produced as a 1:1 scale assembly and installation work. We will specifically translate their design intentions thru designing ‘Small Shelter’, using materials that replicate the idea of ‘in-situ’ and ‘pre-fabricated’ construction, while exploring the architectural expression and possibilities of both. We were required to build and use the shelter to test its suitability.
Throughout this assignment, I have adapted thinking and problem solving skills; generate design concepts through the process of exploring various sources and abstracting ideas. In addition, I have know the importance of interpersonal skills, we explore together as a group to learn the dimensions of the body installation.
