Spacebox project was a part of Studio Next. Studio next is a collaboration project. Industrial design, Mid and Multimedia departments worked together. There were 5 projects in Studio Next. Eye tracker, Spacebox, Pixie Engine, Farm, Finance. This video that I did is explaining Studio Next. It was really fun because it was my first time using Adobe Flash. It took a while to learn but I guess it turned out good.
We were inspired by London underground subway systems.
This was a project that I work for the first 6 weeks of my senior year. It was collaboration project mostly. We worked with MID and Multimedia departments. Spacebox is an temporary housing system that has been used as dorms and apartment complexes in Europe. The company came to our school – University of The Arts – and offered us to use the Spacebox for dorms as well, but they wanted us to “Americanize” it.
The area for this project is 135′ by 75′ and the units size is 9′ x 9′ x 25′. The part where I took a part was working on the layout of the units in the empty lot. We could have fit 60 units inside but we decided to keep it low. The reason behind this was, we are an art school right in the middle of the Avenua of The Art.
Dorms. Front row is the gallery space.
This idea is a live-work-sell concept. Student will be living at the top floor, 2nd floor is their working are and the 1th floor is their selling area.
Junior project. We had to come up with mobile design for urban farmers, and cart will help the farmer from harvesting to growing to selling. We tried to make it as light as possible. The lids can be used as shelf or even a stool. You can store your canape and other stuff in the bottom compartment.
This picture is an action shot of the cart when it is ready for selling. We used regular milk crates and add special hooks to them that we have designed.
In this project I worked with Chris Mufalli, Adam Rusiski and Tim Peet
I did this project back in 2005. It is made out off cardboard. The idea behind this was to build a sculpture in a pubic area in Temple University. The area that choose, which was in front of Anderson Hall, reminded me of a beach, that is why I decided to make a Palm Tree. It took 4 months to make it. It is 6′ tall. Put together with glue, screws.
The leaves were put together like a bridge structure.
Flatware design for my 3d class. I started with making my design in Adobe Illustrator. My goal was to get as many pieces as possible from one sheet and also has a beautiful design. I also did some renderings using Rhinoceros 4 Wenatchee to see my design in real life. After I finalized my design and send my it to Ponoko and they cut it and send it to me. I choose to use white acrylic. It is basically like puzzle pieces.
Another school project that we have to make a video of our daily life and put it in a one minute video. This video shows how I go to school everyday but this time I am in a hurry because I woke up 28 minutes before class.
It is made out of aluminum sheets. Every sheet is 1″ wide. There were 3 different sized molds for the curved parts. The curved ones are connected to each other with another piece attached to the tip of them by a ribbet gun. I sanded all the parts before I put them together to give nice texture. Sanding the parts helped it more look like steal. I woven the top with same sized sheets and by this the model became solid.
This stool is made out of 8 layers of industrial gray felt and 2 layers of veneer. We put together the felts by using epoxy resin. The curves at the bottom helped us to give it more structurally strength.
Our main goal was to give this stool multiple purpose use. This model can be used as a table and a book shelf.
