Week Four: Reflecting on my Reflection

my project seeks to…

  • introduce the overarching concepts driving your research
    • creating a home for a nomadic person, or a person who is without a permanent home
    • design and build a structure that can be constructed and deconstructed in a series of different places
    • a “kit set” structure that can be moved around from place to place

to achieve this i have considered…

  • what texts have you read
    • watched a TEd talk; “a playful solution to the housing crisis” – Sarah Murray
    • read an article; “knowing through making: the role of the artifact in practice-led research” – Makala Maarit
    • read an article; “introducing practice-cases design research” Laurene Vaughan
    • studied an artifact; “soapbox sculpture” by Jasmax

my research will attempt to…

  • what are your aims?
    • to produce a series of parts that can be assembled into a structure
    • create a system that does not use permanent fixings and therefore this makes it easily movable
    • a generic but carefully designed shape that can fit into a series of different places with little to no modification
  • talk about what you want to explore through your research
    • how this structure can be used by a nomadic person (weather this is homeless, travelling, downsizing, camping, festivals, etc..)
    • how the material that are used to make the structure can help improve the overall outcome and morph-ability of the structure
