Esquisse four – ‘Understanding form’




Background
‘Take a seat’ aims to teach how to use minimal material effectively to create a structure that will support the weight of one person. In groups of two to three people firstly design your chair using sketch, scale mock-up and then work to produce a 1:1 outcome.

Process
Using only cardboard provided (no glue or fixings) create a:-

• ‘structural’ system that is strengthened under load
• provides a seat and possibly a back support
• works within standard seating proportions

Submission
A 1:1 cardboard mock-up that demonstrates your innovative use of material. This will be tested in class to see that it holds the weight of one person. You will also need to make sure you document the process to post to your blog.

Esquisse three – ‘locking systems’




Background
A locking system is an important part of your intellectual property or design. It is your own innovative mechanism to ‘lock’ card to ensure it supports the required weight in your 1:1 prototype. You may need to reference basic engineering principles on load and force to understand how to best use the material’s integral properties.

Process
Using only cardboard (no glue or fixings) create a:-

- ‘locking’ system that is strengthened under load
- has a minimum height of 200mm
- relies on geometry rather than brute force
- relies on minimal material ie weight to strength ratio

Submission
A 1:1 cardboard mock-up (B flute 3.2mm) that demonstrates your innovative ‘locking’ system. This will be tested in class to see that it holds up to 100 kilograms.
