KINETIC WALL
THE FINAL PROJECT IS A KINETIC MOVABLE WALL THAT ESSENTIALLY BECAME A UTILITY WALL FILLED WITH ALL PURPOSES.
IDEA EVER SINCE THE START OF THE PROJECT, I'VE ALWAYS HAD A VISION OF IT BEING A MULTIPURPOSE WALL THAT BRINGS YOU TO ANOTHER DIMENSION. NOT JUST THAT, THIS WALL COULD BE USED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME BEING THAT IT HAS EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED; FOOD, WATER, A CHARGING DOCK, EVEN A BED. I WANTED IT TO BE LIKE A 'MINI OASIS' FOR USERS. FURTHERMORE, THIS IDEA CAME FROM THE TIME WE'RE LIVING NOW WHICH IS THE PANDEMIC WHERE ONLINE LEARNING/WORKING IS AT ITS PEAK. WE SPEND HOURS UNCOMFORTABLY ON OUR BORING STUDY TABLE, OFTEN FORGETTING TO EAT NOR SLEEP. THEREFORE, THIS KINETIC WALL PROVIDES ALL OF THAT IN ONE PLACE AND THUS IT BECOMES THE SOLUTION.

REFLECTION WHAT I FIND MYSELF WITH AT THE END OF THIS MODULE IS DEFINITELY MORE KNOWLEDGE OF FURNITURE AND ITS MAKINGS, THE BEAUTIFUL PROCESS OF MAKING A SINGLE PIECE OF FURNITURE, AND THE INTRICACY OF DESIGN AND ART THAT I SHOULD APPRECIATE MORE. MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE PROJECT WAS THE ARTIST BOX MAINLY BECAUSE WE HAD THE CHANCE TO GO TO CAMPUS AND TRULY LEARN THE ART OF FURNITURE DESIGN. I LEARNT THAT THERE ARE PROCESSES TO EVERYTHING, NOT JUST WITH THE MAKING OF THE BOX BUT ALSO WITH OTHER PROJECTS SUCH AS THE JOINERIES SKETCH WHERE I LEARNT TO OBSERVE MORE IN THE SIMPLE THINGS AROUND ME THAT ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED. THIS MODULE MADE ME APPRECIATE MORE OF THE LITTLE DETAILS IN LIFE. FURTHERMORE, THE FINAL PROJECT WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PROJECT AS WE HAD THE FREEDOM TO EXPLORE IDEAS TO BUILD OUR OWN KINETIC WALL, I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH AND MAINLY MADE A WALL BASED ON WHAT I THINK OUR SOCIETY REALLY NEEDS. THIS GAVE ME A SENSE OF PURPOSE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE COMMUNITY I LIVED IN AND THE PROBLEMS WE AS HUMANS ARE FACING, THAT ARE OBJECTIVELY UNIVERSALLY THE SAME NO MATTER WHERE WE ARE ON THIS EARTH. FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE BACK PAIN PROBLEMS THAT ANYONE CAN HAVE, AND THIS PROBLEM CAN BE HELPED WITH A GOOD FURNITURE THAT US DESIGNERS CAN DESIGN. ALL IN ALL, THROUGH THIS MODULE, I WAS GIVEN A ROUNDER PERSPECTIVE ON WHAT A DESIGNER CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE WORLD AND MAKE IT BETTER WITH GOOD AND BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED FURNITURES.
