The end of Furniture

A whole week, on average about 4 hours sleep per night, but finally finished the Hybrid Furniture Project! The presentation of work is very different here - they want you to scan in all your drawings, that they have expected you to draw on A3 or A4 and put all of your work into an A3 dossier that is then handed to them.
This obviously is very strange for us, especially compared to last year when one of my drawings was five metres long - but everything here is so small. They cannot expect too much from you, as the time you actually have to complete the project along with the six other projects you have is not actually that much. 
I have previously explained my whole project and concept, so I am not going to explain it again, just show you what I have done since then and what I have done to complete it. I was talking about positive and negative casts in order to create two spaces that because hybrid by joining them. It was this join that I wanted to concentrate on, as this is what I felt was the most important part of my design. 



This image shows how I decided to use one sheet of material that would then split, one side one go one way and form a structure to provide for one function (eg.reading) and the other side would go the other way to provide for the other function (eg.working). It would be obvious where the sheet joined as the shapes would be party cut out, yet as they made their way to the top, completely cut out and joint together so they are still in the exact shape as the original sheet. 






The whole of the idea can be seen in the plan that I have drawn and coloured to show how one side is the remaining sheet, and the other side is the cut out of the sheet. The cut out would be bent and structured into a place for someone to sit and read. The remaining sheet would be shaped and curved to form a seat and a desk. 

The images below give an overview of my entire project and how I reached the completion point that I did. I feel that I should have had another week to really show the complexity of my idea. My idea wasn't really the importance of shape of the structure, but of how the structure was joined together in order to make it hybrid. I feel that I needed to have a very important drawing to show this join, and maybe done a model of the join rather than of the whole structure.
