BRIDGE

research

Construct a bridge that spans a two foot gap and supports an 8 lb live load at weakest point (the center).

Tensional stress- when a force is pulling an object in dierent directions; if strong enough leads to snapping Compressional stress- when two forces act towards one another attempting to shorten an object’s length; if strong enough, leads to buckling

seat parameters

Design and build the seat and body panels for a Baja SAE competition off-road racer

Official Baja SAE 2017 Seat Rules: 1. Seats may be of conventional or suspension (sling) design 2. Back angle for an upright seating position must be more than 65 degrees 3. Minimum of 6 seat mounting points to the vehicle frame 4. Mounting points from the seat back plane attaching to the vehicle RHO shall not be more than 4 inches forward of the plane...” 5. Seat bottom plane mounting points attached to the SIM shall be within 2 in. of a frame node…”

OBSERVATION: STEPHEN - LATE 60s - BARNES & NOBLE

INTERVIEW: OSCAR - 88 - STEWART PARK

WHAT? An older man reading alone at a cafe table in Barnes and Noble

Redesign one aspect of the senior experience to improve quality of life.

HOW? - hunched over reading a book & focusing (halfway through his book) - has coffee, backpack, couple books - blue jeans, long sleeve tee (clothes were dusty) - starts flipping through book - maybe researching

empathize

wse t

Research was conducted on senior living through observations, interviews, and immersion experiences.

WHY? 1. going to Barnes and Noble to browse through books if hd dh hl 2. doinghi research for a personal projecttf ft i 3. he is picking up a new hobby because he is often bored 4. since his wife has passed and he has a lot of free time

the idea Limited mobility influenced seniors’ happiness the most. Thus, to improve senior mobility, seniors need to become more physically fit.

Flex allows users to lift in home without bulky equipment or the need to switch out heavy plates. The current prototype allows users to perform a bicep curl.

EMPATHY

market analysis - Trend towards individualized fitness activities - With 46.95 million adults participating in exercise, 5 million is conservative, yet realistic estimate of potential users - No competitor products exist that are lightweight, provide initial user fitness evaluation, or provide an exercise plan based on user ability and goals

product details Determined through market research and conjoint analysis: - Automatic weight changing rather adding/subtracting plates - Evaluates users’ current fitness level with one rep maximum - Phone application suggests customized fitness plans

Cost of Product

Lifting Exercise

Ideal Load Range for Machine

- Dierent models available for dierent exercises - Product costs: $200 - $300

second iteration - Still utilizes nested plate idea - Defined placement of handle used for bicep curls - Digital component would be utilized to change weight or number of plates being curled


FLEX

third iteration the handle is the medium through with users experience Flex and the part of Flex that they curl the frame is responsible for storing all of the necessary hardware for the motor shaft and resisting standard loads from usage the motor shaft group supplies the force needed to achieve the user’s specified resistance

flux design presents Flex, the newest innovation in strength training machines. Flex utilizes resistance from servos rather than heavy iron plates, making the equipment small, lighter, and easier to store in the home. This technology paired with the Flex app evaluates a users fitness level and suggests a plan for their specific goals.

The Flex Bicep Curl includes: - Automatic weight changing capability - Built-in display - Android and Apple compatible app - Maximum curl of 75 lbs


user feedback - simplicity of design

- working prototype looked like dog

- considerations of safety

hurdle

- appreciate fitness equipment being

- might be too tall for some women

designed for older populations

- concerns about fitting it in a small

- suggested a built-in scale

design parameters

Design a two story coworking space ideal for use by millennial workers.

1. Use existing building located at 1545 Peachtree Street in Atlanta, GA 2. House 35 to 45 workers 3. Meet millennial workplace needs 4. Create a fun, functional, & flexible space 5. Design a space that facilitates a community culture of collaboration and innovation 6. Provide easily accessible resources


millennial research Millennials born roughly between the 1980s and the 2000s have a distinct set of values and preferences including: -Working in teams -Utilizing access to resources rather than committing to product ownership -Constantly communicating with peers and supervisors -Balancing work and play -Utilizing the newest and best technoloiges

atlanta’s history Atlanta was first established as a bustling commerical hub following the introduction of a major railway station. The success of this first stop established train stations as one of the easiest, most popular, and most efficient ways of bringing people together. In hopes of bringing people together in the same way, NEXT coworking spaces draw inspiration from these railway stations in their layout and industrial aesthetic.


N E X T CO WO R K I N G concept + floorplan NEXT is divided into three functional levels to achieve the same spacial fluidity found in a railway station. This layout promotes constant flow and collaboration while simultaneously creating a noise gradient.

CONCOURSE - the most open, public space ideal for collaboration and interatction PLATFORM - a semi-public/ semi-private area RAILWAY - the quietest and most private workspace area

The far-reaching visual access of this space encourages further movement into the offices. A silver curved track light feature resembles the train tracks of Atlanta’s railways and brings a vistor’s eye further into the offices.


N E X T CO WO R K I N G

work cafe This space is a second floor extension of the highly collaborative concourse. With immediate access to a social space upon entering the second floor, chance encounters are much more likely. A silver curved track light feature resembles the train tracks of Atlanta’s railways and brings visitors further into this space. Additionally, curved carpet sections encourage movement.


open office This space’s position within the second floor platform serves as a functional and visual transition from the high energy concourse to the more reserved railway. The space features industrial arches and concrete floors as a reference to the materials found in Atlanta’s railway stations. Soundabsorbing pin up space is found on the curved wall to counteract the effect concrete flooring has on the room’s sound quality.
