The right drawing is the abstract drawing of section view. The aim of this drawing is that transfer real object to the simply geometric forms.

SCALE 1:2 The grain inside pinea[[le has followed a rule, that the shadow area could divide this object into almost 8 even parts.
The right drawing is the sction drawing of a quartern.

Analysis
By looking at the skin of pineapple, I found that they all formed by simply geometric modules. Thus the above drawing shows the distribution of skin elements in a abstract way.

Analysis
Those two drawings demonstrate the real pineapple skin details, which gives me the idea of design in the future. Because actually pineapple’s skin only consisted by the like circle part and like triangle shape. Explore how they ďŹ xed stable together may help the joint area in my design idea.
The left section detail shows the thickness of outside skin of pineapple, and it also presents how every elements on skin overlay to each other .

Digital Model : PROCESSES
process 1 Using circle command to draw key area circle.
process 5
process 2 Using loft command to let lines become
process 6 By using ow along the surface command to paste all of skin elements on .
process 3 The green part is skin, and the pink part is covered by green skin.
process 7 Because the real pineapple’s colour is like greenand yellow, so I changed colour .
process 4 Making octagons
process 8 Finished work, pineapple without leaf

Sketch Model PROCESSES
Before I s ck the top suface, I found that the unďŹ nished part can also be a design inspira on ( when binding).
In the future, I may change the material of this model, because paper is too so to hold the whole parts. If I made this in a real

Sketch Design #1 FILL PROTECT JOINT GRADUAL What is your idea? [Maximum 5 key words] The le drawing shows the back view of this design. Many octagons fixed together to form a surface, and because of the holes among octangons a square is put in the hole to fill the plan.
Using simply geometric figures to express design ideas. The right drawings show how squares join with octangons. A li le slope of this part could let the sur-
How does this respond to your personal space? This idea is from the skin detail of pineapple, which shows how different geometric figures fixed together for getting a surface or a space. The combination of octagons and squares makes a plan without any holes on it, so that this design provides a really private space for people.

Sketch Design #2 OVERLAP TWINE INTERACTION What is your idea? [Maximum 5 key words] Using a rope or paper to twine may make people uncomfortable, so the using of triangle modules could solve this problem. Because every triangule modules are overlap with each other, and the whole model will move when people wave their hands or move, so that it
This shows how every elements fixed with each other.
How does this respond to your personal space? This design idea is came from mummy in Egypt , which twining body inside. twining people could create a very private space, and the using of triangule prevent ‘rope‘ binding so tight.

Sketch Design #3 GRADUAL CHANGE, IRREGULAR, CENTER What is your idea? [Maximum 5 key words]
Because strangers are effected differently than friends by a loss of personal spce. So that a ‘screen‘ is set up on the shoulder, which depends on the comfotable distance of people to achieve the different height.
In the left conor, those circles show the spread of different irregular modules position, but the surrounding elements always towards the center (head).
How does this respond to your personal space? Following the comfortable distance of people, those irregular modules create a ‘semi-colsed area’, that an open area on the top of head, but surrounding is enclosed.
