DESIGN BRIEF

2nd SKIN PROJECT

The second skin project must address the following design criteria:

1. Volume; project must address the 3 dimensionality and the volumetric nature of the body. The design must create an envelope or volume using developable surfaces; a two‐dimensional solution is not acceptable. 

2. The second skin must address the question of personal space.

3. The design must create a spatial or emotional effect. These effects will be showcased in a 30 second performance at the end of semester parade 

4. The final object must be fabricated with care and well crafted.

5. Material choice: paper, fabric, ready made object, plastic – all material must be negotiated with your design tutor
