The Perks Of Communicating

The person I chose to doccument for my phase 2 is my father. I analyzed his schedule during the lock down period where he spent all day at home vs right now where he spent most of the time at his restaurant. Since he spent most of the time outside, that also lead to spending less time with me so I also analyzed his movements and the objects that were used when we spent time together.

Finally, I came to a conclusion that the only time we spend together is when we’re doing other activities such as, using our phone or laptop and during lunch or dinner. So I wanted to create a capsule that will allow you to spend time together but also work as a tool to help you focus more on communicating rather than doing our own secodary activities.

LOCK DOWN

NOW

I doccumented his path around the house, as you can see, during the lock down period he walked everywhere and stayed at the same spot for quite some time. On the other hand, now that he has to go to the restaurant he only walks a specific path and doesn’t stay at the same spot as long.

Isolation l Phase 2

All the objects that were used and his movements when we spend time together through 4 different activities.

Post Isolation l Phase 3.1

My first capsule is divided into 2 seperated spaces. The first space you see as you enter will only focus on doing activities, on the other hand, the second space will only focus on communicating The colour of the first space is very dark, I want the user to not enjoy using this space so they finish their actvies faster and move on to the next space. The communication area is wider and very colourful to make it feel like you’re in a totally different place. The barrier that is dividing the 2 spaces is a red curtain like at the theater to make the user excited before entering the communication area.

Post Isolation l Phase 3.2

After finishing my individual capsule I merged my capsule with Pite’s. He designed a kitchen for his sister to cook without feeling pressured and also allow people outside to help guide her both verbally and physically.

The notion of communication and the notion of barriers is what I want to bring into my design.

This capsule used the same concept as the previous one, users do all their activities inside each small rooms but whenever they need to walk to a different room they are forced to communicate.

Post Isolation l Phase 3.2

The geometric of each small rooms are specifically made to fit the object they habitat and to keep the importance of the kitchen, I decided to centralized it and allow more space for people to use. The colour inside each room are dark with no windows to force users to finish their activties faster and the hallway makes you feel like you’re in a different place like the previous capsule.

What’s special about the materials of the kitchen wall is I decided to use a one way wirror and foam so users that are using the kitchen can’t see what’s happening ouside and even if they try to communicate the foam will stop the sound from coming out.

Post Isolation l Phase 3.3

To exaggerate the movement through the hallway even further to allow users to communicate more, I moved the kitchen door to the back and rearrange the rooms.

According to my dad’s schedule, I placed the room he used the most the furthest and the one he barely use closest to the entrance.
