Measuring Methodology The expanding file was scanned directly in required shapes and sides.

Then the scanned photo were changed into 1:2 scale or kept the 1:1 scale and printed out. Next the outlines were traced on the tracing paper from the printed photos. During the process, dimensions were measured manually from the real object to fix the errors accrued during the scanning process.

The method was used to finish all the drawings (plan, sections and elevation).

Melting connection between each member

The bottom panel works as a pivot to connect all members together and allow the side panels turning around it.

The two side panels hold all members together as one system and control the volume between them.

The folding technique gives the strength to the side sheets which makes the whole system is stable and stiff in vertical direction.

All members are connected by melting them together.

The folding technique is used in the side sheets to adjust the volume of the pockets.

• When the file is closed, the sided sheets are folded and stay together. There is no inside volume and the whole oject ocuppies minimum space.

• When the file is partially open, the sided sheets are serrated from the top voew. There is certain volume between each two parrallel sheets.

• When the file is fully open, the side sheets are straight. There is the maxinmum volume between each two parallel sheets.

Digital Model

The outside stiff panel • Draw the curve line and extrude it.

• Use the fillet tool to make smooth curves at the sides.

6

The inside sheets • Build one sheet.

• Copy the sheet and rotate them in certain angles.

The side folding sheets • Draw the zigzag shapes at both top and bottom sides.

• Use the loft tool to build the surfaces.

The final model • Group three parts together.

• Only the outside folding panels were used as my design material. This part with the folding technique is the strongerst part especially along the vertical folding line. Hence, the panels were rolled up vertically. • For the first one, the inter points at the top are all sticked together while the bottom can expand. For the second one, it was rolled up and keep open at both sides. By rolling up, two panels form cone-like volumes. • That is proved that the elements are strong enough to stand the weight of a heavy book.

• When two cones are cupped together, the inside one can extend along the outside one. • Two cones work as one system which can adjust its length as well as volume.

Sketch Design #1 Neckleck, Adjustable, Extension

What is your idea? [Maximum 5 key words]

Inspiration 1: A choker with rivets

Detail

Effect drawing

How does this respond to your personal space?

• Neck is narrow but vulnerable.

• The personal space changes under different circumstances.

Accordingly, the size of the “rivet” is adjustable.

Inspiration 2: A paper fan

ELevation illustrating expanding in two directions

Effect drawing

How does this respond to your personal space? • Back is out of own sight. • With the pivot, this system can be closed or open. It is easy to carry around and works when needed.

Sketch Design #3 Optional, Flimsy but Strong, twisting

What is your idea? [Maximum 5 key words]

Flat plan

Forming volume by twisting

Effect drawing

How does this respond to your personal space?

• It is felxible to surround the part where needs the protection.

• The thick system surrounds the body and gives the strength.

• Twisting forms volume.
