COMBINING IDEAS Combining ideas through finding key words: Invisible / Personality development / Defensive mechanism / Negative space A protection gear that can be designed to wrap around certain sensitive areas of body.

Create an illution that there are invisible feature wrapping around the body instead of solid colume. Give the person a sense of protection but actually still interacting with the outside.

The movement of the edges depicts the waves of boundary. In contrast, the negative space of structure represent the openess to the others. This can be considered as contradiction, but also can refer to the influence of the gender, culture, environments etc.

DEVELOPING IDEAS People are aware of their personal space because when the space in intruded by others it trigger their emotion (eg. fear, anger, shyness, love etc).

Emotions are generated from human’s brain, transfer signals to other parts of the body through nervous system. Human body then will have certain reactions accordingly such as heart beating rate increase hence the change in temperature in different body parts. This design will protect the heated parts of body (as they are being more sensitive/offended).

1.We came up with a pattern that after offsetting into many pieces, will craft out the negative space of where other approaching people should be (set out a limit of getting near). On the side, the pattern followed the human body structure outline to create multi-sections in order to narrate distinctive personalities.

2.The body part will be the major protection part (grid) and also where the two parts of design join together.

3.Around the left arm, there will be spikes structures to act as a self defensive weapon, or a signal to the others to stop coming nearer.

ANALYSIS - MODEL 1 1. In this model, all the components are put on the left side of the body to show and effect that the panels are developed from the body and rotating.

2. The vertical parts are curved as the person’s side profile, meaning that the person is revealing his another side but at the same time protecting himself.

3. The horisontal parts are a series of panels embracing the human body to give the person a sense of security.

4. The whole design is showing that the person is in phase of struggle (mental contradiction) as part of him wants to unravel the personality to the others, while another part of him is stopping him.

ANALYSIS - MODEL 2 1. The design will hide the right part of face and leave the left part open to show the person is still willing to communicate with others just that a safe and comfortable distance is kept. When looking from the side way, the panels will act like a cover (or camouflage depending on material) which hides the person.

2. By looking at ths side way, the vertical panels are taking up more spaces at the person’s back to provide bigger protection.

3. Comparing with model 1, the panels are more geomatrical and more pointed at corners. This gives out a sense of rigidness, security and strength.
