project 2: life capsule

The main aim of Project 2 is to expand the interpretation of one self and heighten the awareness about the interaction between space and body, allowing us to explore the role of reasoning in shaping form and space. It is a group work, collaborating ideas of multiple individuals. A member is chosen to become the user of the capsule. All design components are based on the chosen group member’s body dimensions and the occupation he/she potrays.

 

This involves designing a confined space that possesses multi-functional furniture. The project consists of two major stages: the Interim Presentation “The Shell’ and the Final Presentation 'Funitecture'. A limited space challenges us to thoroughly consider anthropometry and ergonomics.
