Project 2
Structure and Body:
Materials, Anthropometric and Ergonomic Exploration
[Isolation Structure]
Project task
This project will be based on individual tutorial groups. Students need to design a structure for self-isolation by explore construction details, joinery and the nature and characteristics of the selected materials and how they work together. In exploring anthropometry and ergonomics, the final design will be produced as a scaled model which is +-2.5m3 structure.
DESIGN INTENTION
01
During the pandemic period, we stay at home and stay away from nature for a long period. We may get depressed and easily confused and being worried at that time. The design intention is to create a space that for self- emotion management and gain a sense of secure in the structure.
BANAL ACTION
Due to the main theme of my project is gain a sense of secure, the banal action that I have chosen is sitting double knee hug. My body will lean against platform of structure and my legs will curve in a comfortable way. This action helps me to release tight muscles to feel comfortable and relaxed in the structure.

REFLECTION
In the end of the project, I have explored the human action and created an awareness of anthropometry and ergonomics. I also realised how the different material, the play of sunlight and banal action influence the experiential qualities of the design. This is my first time to do an actual scaled model. Although there still need to be improve, I have learnt a lot in this project and it is a necessary journey led to the future.
