Finally we added the strap by cutting a hole through the layers and placed another piece of cardboard onto the back of the bed, added a hook with a piece of rope on the side and it is finally done!

Then we started to add layers to make the bed more comfortable to lie on.
Cardboard (fixed in place with screws) --> Bubble wrap (Stapled in place)

First thing we did today was to add a PVC layer on top of the bed. We drilled holes and screwed in the screws to fix the PVC sheet in place.

Day 4 (18/5/2015) -
At the end of the day, we finally tried to lie on the bed to test whether it could support a person's weight and fortunately it didn't snap and is quite strong!
The photos on the left show the general idea of how will the bed be carried by a person and how would it fold away.
We will be back tomorrow to add the strap for people to carry and layers to make the bed more comfortable.
It was a nice day.

Day 4 (18/5/2015) -
However, after the structure was ready, we discovered the part where the hinges were installed was so fragile that it would definitely not support a person's weight.
So, we then added two blocks under to support it more, hinges were also installed so that they could be folded away.

Later on, we inserted the dowels into the holes to test whether they need further amendments and then we glued them in.
We also added hinges in the middle to enable the bed to fold to the back.
The primary and secondary structure of the bed were done.

Day 2 (13/5/2015) -
Today our group came up with a final design, inspired by the sleeping zone in learning commons. It is a wearable bed.
Robert and Rameezz first sorted out the structural problems and together we started drawing the main structure on a piece of paper in order to know the dimensions accurately.
Rameezz then started drawing the shape on Autocad, and it is now ready for laser cutting, which would happen on the coming Monday.
We've made good progress so far :)

Day1(12/5/2015) -
Went over to Spinningfields for a site visit and asked about the regulations for the private space there.
Came back to studio later on and sketched a few initial ideas based on the theme our group came up of---to create a wearable shelter for homeless people, allowing them to sleep on site without violating the rules.
