Final Board for Skinless Space: The SEED

To start off the project, we were to choose a partner and draw a random client that we would then design a skinless space for. Our clients were the Campana Brothers, which included Humberto and Fernando Campana. They are Brazilian furniture designers that create chairs from everyday, mostly recycled, objects. The "skinless space" was to be their new studio in NYC in which we designed from the inside out; letting the interior shape the exterior.

Skinless Space Board #2: The SEED

On this board, the Campana Brothers' new studio space in NYC had not been finalized. The version above features a leaf-like slide going from the 5th floor to the 3rd floor and a photo montage of the site and the nearby buildings. The diagrams break down the space allocation from a broad view of public/private to where each person's work space is.

Modular Manipulations: Canopy

          The project statement was to create a modular unit that could be repeated to create something larger. First, everyone in the class was told to fold 500 different shapes and pick our 3 favorite to present to the class to vote on. After the voting, 2 modular folded pieces of paper were chosen and the class was split into 2 groups to create something by repeating the shape. One group was to create a canopy (shown above) and the other was to create a curtain. Both pieces were used in an anthropometric fashion show from our previous project.
