PROJECT 2
In this project, we were tasked with designing a self-isolation structure through understanding tectonics, construction, materials, ergonomics, and anthropometrics. The self-isolation structure expresses the personal experiences during the pandemic.
Design Intention
My intention was to bring the overall circular design from Project 1 while using the design elements and principles, points and lines, and balance as the basis of my design.
Design Process
I started off by imitating one of the part 4 models in Project 1 as my first design which I then modify to incorporate ergonomics and anthropometrics into the design. The first test model looked very similar to the models in Project 1 and lacking in ergonomics. After multiple discussions with the tutor, I was finally able to come up with a design that is suitable for the selected banal action.

Reflection
From this project, I learned about tectonics and how to incorporate aesthetics into functional designs. I also learned about ergonomics and anthropometry and how they can complement the structure in the expression of experience.
