DESIGN ANALYSIS Mass Structure The external part of human muscle is seen as one unit, when the internal part appears differently .

Therefore, creating different sports facilites within the interior to reflect them intersection and branching of muscles

Mass Form Inspired by focal structure in the muscle form with vessels , which represent the focal point in the center that take vistors to different zones

Zoning Types Based on the three types of muscle and their function. A skeletal muscle is the active zone, Cardiac muscle is the welcoming zone, Smooth muscle is the service zone

Symmetry Layout By using the symmetrical layout which is one of the muscle elements

DESIGN CONCEPT A f urn it ure p iece in s p ired by hum an m usc l e made of sm ooth a n d s oft ma t eria ls rep re sents m usc l e textur e, c ontour , and h o rizon lin e, a circula t ion of m usc l e f i bber s and str uc tur e.

DESIGN ANALYSIS Shape The horizon line of the muscle shape is used to divide the piece into two functional seating and shelving units. Additionally , the furniture piece is shaped by the contour line of muscles.

Fibers This piece uses muscle fibers through the use of overlapped wood and shelving units.

Further , the fibers are attached to the bones, so the piece attached to the floor provides a good amount of strength while exercising.

Structure It is inspired by short and long heads of the muscle, representing the long head which is the seating part while the short head is the shelving unit.

Texture Muscle texture and feel are smooth, so the furniture piece was made of smooth materials which let users feel comfort.
