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 3// Model Development
Group A created a prototype model to test out their preliminary design. Designers thoroughly evaluated their first prototype, noting its strengths and weaknesses, what needs to be added and what should be removed. At the same time resolving detailed connections for each component.

My name is Nasra Ali and 5th year student in CIA atelier. I completed my undergraduate degree at Manchester School of Architecture. I spent a year in practice working for a medium sized firm in Tanzania, working predominantly in residential projects and master planning. I was also able to lead as a chief designer in an Architectural international competition of which I came second under the professional category. My fanatical interests are architecture, interior, master planning and model making. Apart from Architecture, I am keen on fashion photography and I love traveling around the world. I’m looking forward to working with you all.
