Group 18 WORK BENCH
AGENDA | Workbench is the second phase of LUNA which is ‘to create’; we want to extend creative discourse within the community by creating a space where ideas are shared freely. Working mainly from Luna’s community studio in Hulme, students are being asked to design and construct a single or multiple workstations which can be used within the studio, as well as being able to serve as an outdoor community exhibition platform. // Download Poster
Thomi S // Stephanie P // Nasra A // Pranav R // Mohit C // Muhammad MS
At the end of the the busy period of events the students produced their concept models, final models and construction manuals booklets. All of the three groups produced amazing work for that short period of time and all of the 5th year were very proud of them! In addition, our collaborators from Luna were also very impressed from the work of the students and tje final decision was not an easy case!
In the end of this journey all of the groups have tested several ideas and the most important was the application in real life! They had to think very carefully every aspect and every detail of the design!
I believe that the team that won the competition should be very proud of themselves because their design will be soon constructed in 1;1 and this is the biggest achievement for them during events!
However, all of the groups have worked very hard to produce their tasks!
Well done to all 1st and 2nd years and good luck with your portfolios!

FINAL MODELS
Final models were very important for our collaborators decision for the winning team. Models helped them understand joints and construction details in order to make the best decision.

The booklet has been an important part of the process where students had to analyse and consider every detail of their construction sequence in order to be easily understood by anyone who wants to create their design.

Sample of pages included in the construction sequence booklet. Students created the booklet as a step by step construction sequence including dimensions, cost and assembly process in order to be easier for our collaborators to create the workbench.

Final line drawings from 'Superslot' team. Students considered cost and materiality and due to the tight budget they used standard sized materials while aiming for the least possible waste of material.

DAY//9 | CONSTRUCTION BOOKLETS
As we come to the end of EVENTS '18, the students have worked hard and fun at times on their workbenches. These are the final products by the three competing groups : Construction Booklets that give you an understanding of what the product is?, how efficient they are?; how to build/assemble/store them? and finally the cost and materials to make the product. Good job guys!! A copy of these booklets were given to LUNA (our collaborator) for them to choose the best design from.
It was fun working with the WORKBENCHERS!!

DAY 9
Final presentation day!
Students presented their final design supported with models and a construction manual to our event collaborators Simi and Vicky. They explained their design approach in depth to them and describe how the workspaces can be assembled and disassembled easily taking only a few minutes. (Luna's requirement for the design).
After the presentation Vicky and Simi took some time to analyse the designs and conclude to the one that fulfils the most their requirements. It wasn't an easy decision because as they have explained all of them have been really good and students spend a lot of time on them. But they have concluded to team "Stacked", a design proposal that was clever and enjoyable, as well as constructed easily using re-usable materials.

Presentations are being done in front of our Collaborators from LUNA - Simi and Victoria. They seem to be liking the disparate ideas that the groups have come up with. Let us see who wins the competition today. later we will be having personal interview sessions with the groups that will go into the video.

DAY//8 |FINAL OUTPUTS
Now that we are heading towards the finishing stage of Events 2018, the 5th years decided to check in on the student works just to guide them in completing their Construction booklets that will be submitted to LUNA on Monday after their presentations. The students had a few issues regarding expressing their designs through the booklets. So we had a sit down with each group and worked on their outputs together.
It felt really good to see some distinct ideas not only in terms of the designs but also in every groups representation of their works.... Good Job guys!!!

DAY//8 | INTERVIEWS & VIDEO COMPILATION
So as Fariz was talking about in his earlier post, we have started compiling the videos and interviews to make the Events Video. So as a flow plan, we have interviewed the three main actors in this events - Collaborators(the clients), Coordinators(5th years) and Students (1st & 2nd years), giving us the idea of the overall work brief and experience.
The video will be completed soon guys!!

Tomorrow is the final presentation of students to our collaborator Luna. They will present their final idea to Luna along with their final models and a construction booklet.
After the presentation Vicky and Simi from Luna will have a discussion on the designs and decide the one that fulfils their requirements the most. On the same day we will announce to students the winner. Luna will have the construction booklet of the winning design and once they get their funding they will be able to construct the work space by following the instructions in the construction manual!

GROUP A
This group came up with the idea to make a compact box that can be pulled out revealing a number of tables to be used. The challenge that comes with that is the type of joints that they will use. The sketch shows the development of the joinery being considered and those that can be used for the project!

DAY 4// PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
We are designing an ‘extendable box table’ which is very durable thanks to its compressed design it is not an issue to manoeuvre around as there are discreet locking wheels built into the base of the legs and a gas mechanism helping to lift and lower the unit. Our table is able to serve a couple of people at the same time while it can also be used by individuals. The Extendable Box Table is designed to suit any space. Tables are adjustable so they can meet the user needs. Additionally, it has a secure piston system in place which allows it to hold this weight. Our product can also be used as laptop desk, drawing board (thanks to its lift-up ratchet), group activities purposes, storage for any tools or belongings etc.

DAY 4
Students presented their initial ideas with models to Luna's co-founder, Simi.
They had time to present their work so far to Simi and she explored in detail their models and concepts.
After the presentation she also get around the groups to give feedback to them and to discuss further their concepts.
She mentioned that students should concentrate on materiality and cost of the design and advise them to put some colour on the design since it is for artists and it needs to be creative!
Great work from all benchworkers. Simi seemed to like all of the preliminary ideas. Keep up the hard work! Almost there!
