Product Design IV // Week 11
Form exploration II Fiona x Shanelle
Feedback gathered last week:
Scales are way too small and doesn’t resemble how Pangolin scales are arranged. Scale it up and arrange it to look more like a Pangolin, not a fish. Bench/tail area is way too flat, redesign it such that it has more volume. Modules does not necessarily needs to vary in size/fully Read more →Product Design IV // Week 9 + 10

Form exploration II Fiona x Shanelle
This week we are exploring forms that:
Allows the sculpture to swirls around the tree w/o interfering the growth of the tree. How can we improve on the form such that it can be distinguish that it’s inspired by a pangolin. How can we improve on the form such that the end form an Read more →Product Design IV // Recess Week

Mock-Ups Fiona x Shanelle
Last session’s feedback:
Choose a direction. Overall form not conveyed. Do not use any difficult materials. Be specific about the dimensions, location, the reason behind the location, how people interact with it. Find out where was the Pangolin found and place the sculpture there.Our reflection:
Going towards direction 1 is boring as it is no longer about making Read more →Product Design IV // Week 6
Ideation Fiona x Shanelle
Feedbacks gathered the last session:
What is the overall form of the structure? Shade, trellis and pangolin-inspired form, are all three combining well? Which one is more conceptually relevant, more representative of NTU, more promising of good results? A function is defined by its creator and you define it. The function doesn’t necessarily have to be solely functional Read more →Product Design IV // Week 5
Purpose Fiona x Shanelle
Moving forward, from our previous progress. We decided that we need to be more specific as to:
How can we improve the well-being of people in the campus? What do we mean by well-being? How can we improve well-being as defined? What is the current situation in a particular context that is lacking that reduces or add Read more →Product Design IV // Week 4
Research Fiona x Shanelle
Objective
NTU is surrounded by nature and greenery, however, many students spend most of their time indoors in school. Prior research has shown that nature and greeneries offer an opportunity to relax our directed attention, thus providing relief from mental fatigue. Exposure to nature greeneries repulses depression in adults.
Our main objective for this project is to improve Read more →
