the object has no real purpose other than decoration or when putting it together it creates a puzzle
Analysis
the shapes are duplicated offset, or changed slightly to further add and create the three dimensional form.
the sections are either placed horizontal or vertical depending on their shape. the one exception is the antlers which are placed on a 45 degree angle to achieve the likeness of the dear.
Each section has a corresponding cut which fits into another section, thus ultimately creating a 3d form by placing together each of the 2d sections. 4

Sketch Model Process
To fulfil the technique of section and the create the model I first cut multiple two dimensional triangles out of cardboard to use as the building blocks of the model.
To join the sections the shapes where sliced accordingly in order for them to be joined together, this idea for the joints was the same used for the 3d puzzle of the dear, the cardboard was used because
In the reconfiguration of the object I have taken the base silhouette of the dear shape and simplified it into three pieces, one representing the head of the dear and the other two representing the antlers. The overlay silhouette further displays this idea.

Sketch Design #1 square-like framework barrier
How does this respond to your personal space? This relates to the deer shape by referencing the way in which the wooden pieces are connected in the model. The panels are either parallel or perpendicular to each other.
The way in which this responds to personal space is that the panels mould around the human form creating a second skin which separates other people from the boundaries of personal space of the person using it. the materials used will be light allowing for maximum comfort and each panel is interchangeable allowing to customisation depending on the body shape 9
Sketch Design #2 transparent triangular head protector
How does this respond to your personal space? This relates to the deer shape is that the designs overall shape is inspired by the silhouette of a dear, mainly its horns. The use of triangles represents a simplified version of the deers head.

This idea concentrates solely on the personal space around ones head. Made up of flat trigaular shapes creating a three dimension form, this design protects and repels things from the personal shape arounds one head. The material used for the triangular shapes transparent to maximise vision and diminish impediments. The shape is also moveable so it can be moulded to any head shape
Sketch Design #3
orbital hoop circular enclosure
This idea was inspired by the way in which the circular panels sit on the 3d puzzle and how they progressively get smaller and smaller. the connectors of each panel was inspired by the angle and which the antlers sit on the deer.
How does this respond to your personal space? The way in which this responds to personal space is that the two dimensional rings wrap around a persons body creating a three dimension shape and outlining the boundary on ones personal space, the rings create a barrier between people this would be ideal for a public transport situation. The sizes of the rings differ as the body shape changes allowing for maximum movement and can be interchanged with different body shapes. the materials used will be light to minimise stress on the person. 11
