Everyone has been working extremely hard, and with excellent focus on the final product. 3d models, LED lights, construction drawings are all being finalized, we…

list of materials

After finishing the final construction drawings I was able to complete the list of materials we need for building the installation. I worked them out in a spread sheet. Now I can order everyting and start building. Below are all the materials we needed for the main construction of the installation, however some materials were…

Construction drawing pt 4

After doing some more thinking we made a few extra iterations on the design. We also had to scale it down since the table we use was 81cm in diameter instead of 1 meter, this meant that some of the parts had to be remeasured and refitted but the general design of the installation was…

Asking permission from our clients

We emailed our clients about our project and informed them about the role they would play. Since we represent their stores in our installation we wanted to be sure that we got the permission from the clients that had not reacted to our email yet. That is why colene and I set out to the…

Construction sketch pt3

After same technical tests regarding the light sensors Kaj came up with an idea that will require a slightly adapted design. The light sensors will be placed on the inside of the lower ring. Then the main ring will be placed over the sensors. This new implementation can be seen in my sketch below. After…

Construction sketch pt2

After discussing my first sketches with the group and various teachers I started with creating a more detailed construction sketch. I chose to draw a cross section of the installation with all the measurements included so that we would have an idea of the materials that we would need to construct the installation. I have…

Construction sketch pt1.

Today I started working on my first construction sketch. It does not yet have the sizes anfd materials worked out. For now my sketch is inspired by of all the ideation sketches that have been made by the group and combines all of them into the final concept sketch to give everyone an idea what…

The questionnaire results

We are very happy with the number of answers we received from the questionnaire, we accumulated a grand total of 41 responses within 2 days which is perfect. We studied and discussed the spaces and places that people submitted and place the ones that we found appropriate in a spreadsheet based on the categories that…

Technical Morphological chart

Since we agreed on our concept for this project it is time to explore the different ways in which we can realize it. I have done this from a technical perspective in order to figure out how we can deal with the different technical aspects of our installation. This includes the different types of sensors…

Jury pitch

Today we used our onepager to create a sales pitch for the jury. Colene took all our info and made into a nice presentation and I (Jan) pitched the concept with help from the rest of the team. The goal of the jury pitch was to convince the jury of the value behind our concept…
