In class exercise & launching of new project...

Monday, 10 Nov 2008

We were given a piece of steel wire during the lecture. With this piece of wire we need to use it to intertact with a body part and it has to be worn on the body.
















After the lecture, the new project project was launched...Sense & Sense-ability.

In this project, we need to work in a team of 3 to 4 people and create a machine that reduces and enhances our 5 senses to experience space.

Seaching for shophouses...

Wednesday, 5 Nov 2008

As a group, we went to chinatown and haji Lane to look for the shophouses. We need to look for shophouses with one airwell and without courtyard to measure and record the dimensions so that we could proceed on to draw the construction drawings.

Intect assignment: The body shop

Before we started on the assigment, we learnt about anthropometry and ergonomics. We need to understand that proportion is important as it enables comfort and the use of the ease of use of elements. Therefore, in this assignment, we measured and documented our drawings and dimensions of our body.

In Exercise 1 & 2, we explored variations of different stationary and moving position. From these positions, we measured and recorded the dimension of our own body.

After completing Exercise 3(measuring of staircase), we learnt that the riser, thread and railing have certain standard dimensions as ergonomics is important to provide comfort and ease in the enviroment for human use.

In Exercise 4, we explored the relationship of the working body with different kinds of furniture.
