PORTFOLIO

1. Project presentation

Working with phenomena produced by human interaction, such as light, atmosphericqualities,airflowandphysicaldegradation,thisprojectaimstomake visible the various elements of such intangible typographies. Combining marking machines, pressure switches, projection and visual distortion, this project maps spatial usage patterns by creating interactive responses to topographical changes. From several starting points, including desire paths, digital mapping and environmental behaviour, this project interrogated the design process itself and employed system design methodology to result in a synthesised design solution combining analogue and digital technologies.

2. Project description

This system endeavours to improve the experience of being within enclosed built environments by creating a virtual window to reveal the world outside. This window is affected by the intangible typographies of wind, air, movement and humantrafficwithinthespace.Astheseelementschange,sotoodoestheexperience for users of the space.

Key stakeholders for this project include public transport users and public transport operators. By improving the quality of the atmosphere in these enclosed public spaces, public transport users are given a superior travel experience.Somebenefitsincludeimprovedorientationinthebuiltenvironment, entertainment for users during off peak times, and a reactive, adaptingenvironmentsthatreflectuserpatterns.

3. Learning Testimonial

UPPER POOL STUDIO LEARNINg OBjECTIvES STATEMENT

Thisstudiohastaughtmehowtoresearchwithouthaveaspecificdesignbrief, clarifying design problems in a more exploratory methodology. I have also developed my communication and teamwork skills, designing in a team of individuals with different starting points for their design work. This cross-pollination of ideas has been invaluable, as I have come to see how others go about their design processes. Additionally, a host of guest lecturers has opened my eyes to the many career paths within design and the different areas of investigation. having such an intangible design subject has improved my lateral thinking and creative skills and I feel like my ability to clarify my thoughts within the written format has also reached new levels. I feel more equipped to independently investigate non-conventional design projects. Working with deadlines and working as part of a team where each member is reliant on the others in order to achieve the desired result have been important factors that have ensured a worthwhile experience for all involved. I recognise that I need to continue to develop these important teamwork skills to increase my employment potential and my design skills generally. Finally, this course has been particular good in improving my ability to take my ideas off the page and into the physical realm of the prototype. Concentrating more on the reasoning behind the design andthekeyideaswithinitratherthanthefinalphysicalproducthasreallyadvanced my interactive design skills and my skills designing within the braoder environmental context, both issues that have been important to me for some time but have not had the opportunity to be fully resolved in the past.

SPECIFIC STUDIO LEARNINg OBjECTIvES STATEMENT

Throughout the semester I endeavoured to experiment with my presentation techniques, developing different methods to communicate form and function within the digital media, such as Illustrator based line illustrations, Photoshop mixed media collage, web media and stop animation rendering techniques. Working in a team meant that I was learning as much off my colleagues as I was from the lecturers, including different presentation techniques and web media skills. I learnt a great deal about storyboarding through stop animation video during this semester, particularly learning about rendering individual frames which create video-style storyboarding of visual effects. The use of kinetic models also expanded upon an interest area of mine and taught me some of thedifficultiesthatcanbeassociatedwiththedesignofcomplexobjectswithmoveable parts. having weekly panel presentations helped me greatly with my public speaking skills and my ability to encapsulate the development of the project succintly. It was interesting to have the opportunity to explore the potential for projection to function as a design medium and communication tool. Projection has an incredible ability to produce large scale interactive prototypes without a reliance on physical manifestation and this has been explored thoroughly in this studio through our experiments and development. having weekly updates also meant that our team had to be consistent in our development and production outcomes which quickly reinforced the importance of delegation and scheduling in ensuring that these obligations were being met.
