The group will continue to

develop their design in this

module with the aim to refine

the design through further

iteration of prototypes. Students

will use the software to unroll

their model into a cutting

template. The design will need

to be tailored to the body and

the effects that the design

produces must be explicit.

At the end of the module,

students will have completed

the fabrication of their design

2.9 Incorporating feedback from design review, continue to develop your design and construct one further prototype. You may consider using different material for your prototype. This need to be negotiated with your tutor. The material chosen should be close to or exactly the material you want to test out in your final design. Update your Rhino model to reflect the revised design. (9h)

PREPARATIONS

WEEKLY TASKS

3.8 Complete final design & photograph (5 hour)

3.9 Produce an assembly drawing of your second skin. Rotate design to an isometric view in Rhino. you can choose to ‘explode’ the model by pulling your fabrication segment apart or focus on one fragment. Make 2d and then import into illustrator to adjust line weight. (Review tutorial on the LMS. Also see research link for examples) (2 hours)

3.10 Prepare Module 3 Journal for design review in Wk10. Describe your idea development in clear and logical steps using the content produced throughout the module.

Include in journal analysis of theory and precedents drawn from the lectures, readings and research (use reading questions as a starting point) & reflection on how this content has influenced your own idea development

Save the document in PDF format and upload to ISSUU. Create a link to the ISSUU document on your blog page

Prepare an oral presentation - 7.5min for group or 5 min for individual (2.5h) 2.14 If applicable, complete peer review form (0.5h)

Peer Review form issued

fabrication

My lantern had a very complicated assem-bly process so I chose to explode groups of components outwards. Each connection is different and that is why the connections look slightly rotated when compared to each other.
