Measured Drawings
Measuring the umbrella was difficult, as of its scale. The easiest way was to decon-struct the umbrella and take the physical measurements, interperating them into draw-ings.
The Elevated view was adapted from a photograph which was then placed to the same scale and traced.

The ’bone’ of the umbrella is most usful in its ability to alter the tension of the ‘skin’ of the plastic, the functionality of the adjust-ing joints allows for easy movement. The structure transforming from a small compact device into an extended open octaganal fanning of framework.

Sketch Model
The configuration of this volumetric model, followed the skin and bone structure. The bone being the wooden sticks and the skin, paper. The triangular orientation was derived from the umbrella’s structural arrange-ment and funtion.

The skin and bone structure, tests tenstion in the way of altered spans of the paper length. The openings are left to identify and represent the the different lengths of spanning paper and how this tension creates a basic dif-ferentiation in the skin, in representation of the umbrella structure.
Diagramatic represntation of the areas more likely needing
coverage for security. The wider elipses representing the
spacing of comfort.

Focused on the Priority spacing of the male body, the design edges away from the less sensitive areas of the body whilst allowing an intri-cate open canopy.

Sketch Design #1
How does this respond to your personal space?
The basis of personal space is centred
around the person that becomes more
linient towards the outer space of a person.

A slinky like embodiment, enables a 360 degree enclosure of personal space allowing for a secure and reliable design.

A basic but effective framed suit, being protective due to
the skin of the encasing links.

from a loose garment to the expanding space of a framed bone structure, the space from the skin is portrayed by the overlay and the tensions explored.
The comfort of a loose garment has been experiemented into a safer second skin,
through the ue of a bone like framework.
The tension has been explored to identify the most
desired and reasuring structure.
Extending the framelike bone structure down and around the body,
presents a more encapsulating suit.
