playing around with different formations with physical model

To bind together in a bundle makes me think of how things connect together. I immediately started to think of shapes that tessellate meaning the just fit into one another perfectly.

I want to address the issue of the number of households increasing at a slower rate than the population
growth, implying that the number of people (and possibly families) per household has
increased. I want my final design to produce a creative and affordable resolution to this issue. I want a simple yet affective design that has the potential to be adaptable for different situations regarding various increases of person per property. I want this house to be and groundbreaking design potential for other investors to consider when building in similar situations.

Community Profile: Taita and Naenae

The population of Taita and Naenae was growing faster than the average for Lower Hutt
City. The number of households has been increasing at a slower rate than the population
growth, implying that the number of people (and possibly families) per household has
increased.

Little cycling was reported in the areas. Driving was regarded as the transport mode of 

choice for most people, although there was concern with rising petrol prices. 

Access to primary health care is an issue for many residents in the Hutt Valley, including 

Taita and Naenae. 

There are many parks in the area, but not all are well used. 

Data presented from the Census exclude those who did not answer the questions. 

People from lower socio-economic areas are less likely to answer the Census questions. 

The most disadvantaged people are the least likely to answer the questions, and this may 

introduce a bias into the figures.

ASSIGNMENT TWO:

Alex Ware:

 I really liked Alex's transformable wall. It seemed simple but very effective. I thought her technical drawings were very detailed and dealt to well. Her rendered images in sketchup were also completed to a very high standard. 

Xavier Ellah: 

I love Xaviers work. He has his very own distinguished design style which is especially evident in the way he constructs his videos in cry engine in sync with his choice of music. His presentation to me seemed at a very professional level. His work is very sleek and well thought through and I love his final rendered images!

Rachel Baker:

The aspect I liked most about Rachels work was the tidiness and preciseness of her to scale model. I admired the in-depth research Rachel had done into the religion of Hinduism. I also like the fact that when she went to put her initial staircase design in she didn't allow it because it wasn't allowed in the code. I respected her realistic approach.

Kayla Davenport:

I really liked the repetition Kayla used to create a simple look. I like the detail in the physical model she made and how she had cut out each circle individually. Her design was very unique and futuristic. I would have liked to have seen her space in use e.g how you interact with it being a kitchen.

responding to the suggestions in presentation.. Making the wall thicker so mirror/ table and chair don't stick and fold into the same surface as the wall. Also adjustments made to orthographic drawings putting dotted lines to show where transformation occurs.

For presentation. Rendered imaged of physical model. Helps depict the finer aspects of the model for example in the image straight below, we can see that the far blind when down becomes  a projection screen from the projector which is located in the storage space behind in the bedhead. We can also see the horse show lights in action as it shows the indirect light created on the interior wall.

looking into indirect lighting. I especially like the one on the left and how it can be flipped into a straight wall.

Physical model! seeing how the natural light works within and the lighting texture created through my use as wardrobe as window shade. This is maximise the soft materiality in the transformed room compared with the hard table surfaces beforehand.

I had intended for the chairs top surface to have a light activated surface for when it is pushed into the wall. eg illuminated as below. This would prove conventional being nest to the table/mirror to provide the consumer with a light to light up their face.

Model experiment with folding down ontop of self. The main design aspect of my model.
