Final MODEL

Photos of the Final Model and also when the Object was under construction.

Perspective view of the Object when in use. Below the sketches illustrate step by step how the structure unfolds and the person lies on it.

AutoCad drawing

After finalising the sketched designs we then made a sketchup model to see how we could create this model in reality. By making a sketchup model it made it a lot easier for us to figure out how and what we could use to make this structure. At the point we were starting to think in dept about materials and the components we would need to make this structure solid so that it could hold a persons weight when they lie on top of it.

By Observing the area and coming up with a whole new design which would be within the limits and rules and regulations of spinningfields…

We came up with this dramatic yet very interesting design "THE PREDITOR".

We sketched 12 different ideas as a group and came up with this final design.

This Design is for a foldable structure which is used for multipurpose for example you can use it to lie on or you can use it to protect you from the wind by wearing it like a backpack.

Session 1 Site visiting.
Chosen site= Spinningfields, Manchester

Spinningfields is a private sector owned by a private company so therefore there are certain restrictions in this area, which we going to discover on our first site visit.

On our first day of events we went to visit this area to discover what the area is like and what are the restrictions for example what is forbidden in this area?

We discovered that the spinnignfields does not allow bikes, skate boards and homeless people sitting around, they have security guards operating majority of the times and they have CCTV pretty much all around spinningfields.
