Case Study 8

This spatial sequence is built to be placed in a pocket park in midtown Manhattan. The first project based on a real site, it allowed me to explore human interaction with space while having a constrained area. The purpose is to pattern a shape that embodies ones heightened senses whilst relaxing in a park. The pattern aims to guide a person through the park along with offering peeled off edges to sit and reflect. The structure is constructed out of wood and coated with paint. The digital patterns of the structure is created on Rhinoceros. It explores the potential patterns and amount of pieces for the final prototype.

Gerrit Rietveld designed this armchair for the departement store of Metz & Co in 1942. The drawings, done in pencil, represent the chair in orthographic and isometric projections. The interior spaces portray the armchair in Rietveld Schröder House. Perspective and isometric depict a three dimensional view of the chair in relation to the room.

Rietveld Armchair

Bar stool prototype designed to explore being unsetteled through a interactive product. This was intention of creating a rigid design Contrasting large screws with delicate legs aimed at instilling an uneasy feeling for the user. The techniques used in construction were aimed at understanding joints and combining materials.
