Project no.2
[ Isolation Structure ]
-Structure and Body: Materials ,Anthropometry and Ergonomic Exploration
What is the structure?What is tension, compression, bending, torsion, and shear? What are anthropometry and ergonomics? And what is material and how is it important ?
Project 2 ,students will go on a journey to answer all the questions mentioned above.We will be working with several materials to understand the nature and characteristics of these materials and how it is to be used in our design.You are to design a structure for self -isolation and to show your personal behavior during this pandemic period. .You will explore constructions details,joinery,and structural quality and how the selected materials work together.We are to have an imaginary north point to located your tectonic structure,indicating the direction of sunlight.The next step is to amalgamate your design intention(from P1)with anthropometrics and ergonomics to form your structure
​Brief
Design Intention
Inspiration:
​
Form formed by the tube like material in creating a boat like structure to convey a sense of floating effect like on the ocean / waves symbolise the freedom and escape .
Materials Selected :
-CPVC Pipe (main structure ) waterproof and floatable
-cardboard & paper
Anthropometry &Ergonomics -banal action
banal action is chosen: Lounging Position
-The most relax + comfortable position that makes me feel release
-Shoulders and arms is relaxed
-Body lean against the structure
-Legs posit in a comfortable manner
Narrative:
I start the Project by questioning myself what is my personal responses to the pandemic and the lockdown.And I ends up feeling self -isolation is really disruptive and annoying as it have heavily affect my levels of anxiety and Mental health issues with feeling of depressed ,lost ,unnerving.
The ways to overcomes this negative consequences is acceptance with having a relaxation techniques / a relaxation spaces as a valuable tool to help me remain calm and continue protect my mental health

Intension: what kind of structure i want ?
Tattoo Stamp
The Design Elements + principle I i have selected for my structure design is Line and Rhythm as it best shown the concept of waves /ocean with a pattern of up and down design .I have uses different line weight to present this tattoo stamps with the darker thicker line + thinner lighter line to shows the contrast of 2 different line rhythm pattern.
The Anthropometric + Ergonomic tattoo stamps I design it in a section of 2 in order to show 2 different atmosphere for the 2 diff experiences follow on my structure .The thicker and darker section indicates the darker and more enclose atmosphere conversely the other section is with big opening and brighter atmosphere
FINAL MODEL
Here are my final structure showcase. In translating the tattoo stamps into 3D, this model uses liner organization with the cpvc pipe all arranged aligned each other but in a rhythmic pattern .The rhythmic flow of high to low and from low to high is presented in this structure by viewing the structure from L to R
