Measured Drawings
MEASURING METHODOLOGY The pineapple was photographed on a flat plane from directly above and in front. The drawings were then created by accurately tracing the outline of the pineapple from the photographs. Finallly, using a tape maesurer the pineapple was measured and the photographs were scaled to accurate size.

Digital Model
Top view
Rhino was used to create digital models of the Pineapple. The priority of the design was to display how the pineapple consist of similar pieces paneling around an oval form, creating a whole.

DIGITAL MODEL PROCESS
1. First, the form was created with line-tool to create an outline and then revolve.
2. Used command ptgridsurfacedomannumber to create grid on to surface.
3. Than I used command “ptpanelgrid� with the form diamond to create the paneling
4. Top and bottom was adjusted to create the correct shape.
5. Leafs was created by outlining the shape.
6. Then creating the surface with the command planar surface
7. By using the commands bend, rotate and scale i could cre-
8. Lastly, leafs was move into position. Materials and color of different surfaces was added. 7
Sketch Model EXPERIMENTAL MODEL: I made an experimental model out of paper. I folded the paper into a 3D shape which was inspired by the pineapple. Different sizes together of such shapes will together create an interesting 3D form that i would like to explore in my design.

MAKING PROCESS Using paper, cutting knife and tape I recreated shapes that resembled the shape of a pineapple. Pieces was tied together to create #D pattern.

Sketch Design #1 CORE PROTECTION
How does this respond to your personal space? 3d pieces are assembled into a blossoming cover which can both expand and decrease according to how comfortable one is with the surroundings. This way it can be personalized to ones personal space.

Sketch Design #2 SPIKE AWAY
How does this respond to your personal space? The design was inspired by the idea of protecting your personal space. This armor design will do this by poking anybody who gets into it. Personla space can therefor not be invaded.

Sketch Design #3 STRIKING WINGS
How does this respond to your personal space? The idea for this design was to create a striking form and make something that would attract people into your personal space. The striking pattern would make people look in the direction of the form and pull them towards it. Several panels put together creates a volume which can capture two people inside the same space. 12
