Measured Drawings FOLDABLE FAN

All objects in CM Scale 1:1

Small stick dimension

Facing downwards

Facing upwards 0.5cm

0.3cm 2.2cm diagonal length : 4.4cm

How the measured drawings are done mainly by tracing : 1. Photocopy the fan plan view in A3 size to fit the whole image & usng the tracing paper trace it out.

2. Use the Plan view drawings and draw the guiding lines to another A3 paper to determine the fan’s top view diagonals position.

3. For the bottom view, take picture in a straight position and print it out and trace it.

Note: This is the most clearest one for the scanned copy, if still not clear, can request for the hard copy, happy to provide.

Analysis Thicker stick = Used as the edges of the fan so that it will be easier to open.

Thinner stick = Used as the mid frames of the fan. Thinner so that it can be compacted, and lighweight.

The sticks without the paper planes with pivot 4

Paper shape follows the fan shape of a semicircle, not a rectangular paper.

When pivot is released, the whole thing can still be standalones, but nothing to hold it firmly (pivot) so it’s not really in place

The back of the fan they will stick the fan plane and the sticks together using somwthing like a masking tape, but with stronger bond than masking tape, but weaker bond than a UHU Glue.

This pivot is the main important thing for a fan to be more compact and expanded. It allows all the sticks to be exposed out to the desired length.

The holding sticks upper part is only visible at the back of the fan.

Sticks pasted at the edge of the folded paper.

Modelling Process

4. Use “Arraypolar” to create repetition of the sticks. Total is 23 middle sticks. (result shown in pink).

1. Draw the 2 types of sticks (left - middle sticks, right - end sticks) in 2D Autocad and import it to the Rhino Software.

2. Extrude them using “Extrudecurve”. For the holes, extrude the holes and use “booleandifference” between the extruded hole and the extruded surface.

5. Use “rotate”,”3drotate” or even “orientonsurface” to make the end sticks attached to the corners of the fans.

3. Draw parts of the sheet plane using “planes” & rotation.

Combine it with the the middle stick type as shown above to create 1 cell.

6. Create the seen part of the pivot using “sphere” 7

Sketch Model - Progress Curved like shape: Folding the stick in different degrees.

The circles in the picture are the 2 end points, idea derived from the pivot in a fan.

It holds the main body shape curves in shape.

Triangle like shape: Folding the stick to the maximum.

Using the original fan, I start to dismantle all the parts of the fan, leaving it to the main 3 elements: sticks, paper & the pivot holder.

While dismanteling, I realized that the middle sticks are very flexible.

This leads to my sketch model at the right.

One of the end point uses the pivot holder and holds the rest of the sticks together in place. Some of the sticks can be rotated in those connected to the pivot holder.

My system is Panel & Fold. So I tried to fold the sticks as much as possible, holding it in place using glue at the other joints.

Sketch Design #1 Different folding degree using sticks

How does this respond to your personal space?

In this design, there are 3 levels of folding: 1. Folding in different folding degree = creating curves 2. Folding to the maximum = creates triangle 3. Totally folded and retractable. = expandable folds.

10

By using this different folds & their spanable distance, I allocate it accordingly to the amount of personal space I need according to different spots.

Sketch Design #2 Using the body as Pivot

How does this respond to your personal space?

From the fan bottom view, the panels spread revolves around the pivot. Using that idea, I use the human body as the pivot, and panels will spread from the body.

The longer area indicates the zone maximum and the whole thing can be folded totally or a bit to make it as a headgear personal space, protecting oneself from the weather.

Sketch Design #3 Distorted body to create distance

How does this respond to your personal space?

This design explores on how the personal space can be created by distorting one figure, relying on people’s feeling of weirdness and disgust to create the space needed.

In this design, recognizeable features of the head are distorted.

Panels are used to create the shape.
