KIWE sells many handmade products

ranging from frame arts, clay crafts to other decorative accessories and stationeries. Some of their products including bags and frame arts are shown. The displayed methods for the shop included display board, tabletop mannequins, shelving as well as hanging.

The targeted customers for their store are mainly families with children, tourists and handcraft lovers as these customers will be attracted to these exquisite products. They also have a private working studio behind the store for production.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

IT all started with the photo of the main gate of the site, which then reminded me of the common old metal gates I see in my areas. Then I drew out the shape of the gate in various dimensions and size. Then I noticed some shapes and negative spaces of the structure and hence I have added some 3D elements to the sketch. As I think along 3D modeling, I started bending the structure and hence came up with a shell-like structure which I was very fond of. Then, I created a 3D model of the structure and eventually the whole pop-up structure. During the whole design development, I took into consideration of the structure would be built like a tree house with an elevated platform as well as the product display, spacing, safety and accessibility.

I have added the shell-like roof of the structure with some unique retractable drop-down mechanics. The details of the retractable mechanics are shown in the slide. The floor of the pop-up structure is based

on a dodecagon star design. This floor design was based of the whole pop-up structure as it makes a 12-sided shape when its built. If observed closely, there is a shape that resembles the sun inside the dodecagon star design. It represents hope and welcoming warmth of the site, allowing for continual prosperity.

As for the structure design, it is form by the repeated pattern of a rhombus and knitted into a shell-like structure. The whole structure looks retractable and allows for additional natural lighting into the structure. The top view of the pull-down structure is also shown in the slide. When the pull-down structure is activated, more natural lighting is allowed into the interior of the structure and vice versa.

From the diagram, I have learned the pull-down mechanic is intricate with many support compo-

nents, metal pieces, and swing-down hinges. Springs are also added into the components as they help to make the retraction as silent and seamless as possible.

I have learned about the necessary mechanics for supporting the platform and the different

components needed. What I have found was that the beam would be supported by a brace at a 45-degree angle. Different components like 8 galvanized rafter ties, bower points, beat brackets, flat brackets and others are needed for building the entire structure.
