The studio began at exploring the properties of rigid and flexible materials and to interchange their properties by making rigid material flexible and vice versa. The students made models to showcase the experience. Next, to enhance the character of the outdoor space aesthetically pleasing and functional furniture pieces are required. The furniture piece should not only adapt human behaviour but also serve as a sculptural element, thus giving a visual identity to the outdoors. Thus, the project brief was to study the existing campuses/ private localities and their outdoors design and develop a furniture piece that enhances the usage and the aesthetic value of the campus. Students studied human behaviour and postures while they were outdoors. They also considered the materials and the production capabilities along with ergonomics, safety measures, recyclability & self-sustainability. Production drawings were prepared and a fullscale prototype was made and tested in the selected environments.
