Exercise_00: Projection Station

Due Friday, Jan 06

 

The exercise will be assessed on the following criteria:

60%        Originality

30%        Functionality

10%        Clarity of presentation

 

The point of this exercise is to get you going.

Aside from today – This will be a paperless studio as much as possible.   All of your work will be presented on the Web and we will become efficient and proficient at doing so.  We will learn how to throw a page up in a matter of minutes and how to efficiently get sketches and digital photos to a digital format.  

Do not mistake this for meaning that I encourage digital production. I do not – I expect you to sketch with a pen and pencil and make physical models.  Digital production is not bad, but there is a place for every tool in the design process.

 

With that said, our studio is located in the IDC.   The IDC is terrible for localized projection.  This exercise is to design by Friday a means of making projection possible in the IDC to a small group of 20 individuals.   There are no limitations to what you may propose but keep in mind the following.  

 

A projection area of 10’x10’ is required

Localized lighting control is the primary consideration

Privacy is a secondary consideration

Acoustics are not a required consideration

The winner will receive $150 to construct the design over the weekend if he/she chooses

The winner will also be allowed to choose 2 individuals from studio to help with the construction over the weekend.

 

Submissions will be anonymous and presented by any means one chooses. If it is digital it must be presented to me on a CD at the start of class on Friday

 

Good Luck.
