One Sheet of Felt DIT KIT felt floor chair If fabric can become furniture, then what else is possible? I am suggesting a new way to design furniture made out of fabric by conducting a material study of felt. I am seeking to understand how this flexible fabric can become a sturdy structure, while still being a comfortable seat. I aim to design a piece of furniture that will be perfect for people who have limited space or who want to make their furniture by themselves.

Motivation : Bok Jory A bok jory is a bamboo strainer shaped like a dipper. Traditionally,the bokjori was bought from travelling merchants on or near the eve of Lunar New Year. They were hung on support pillars, on walls, either in the hall or kitchen or in the corner of a room, between midnight of the last day of the year and the dawn of New Year’s Day. For new year, they were often decorated with colorful string with coins or sweets placed inside them. Later they would be used in daily living.

Park Space Design Bench design for RittenHouse SQ in Philadelphia With TETRETTE, our team wanted to create something that would enhance/ promote more ease of social interaction and play between people in the park. We figured that innovative seating would give us this outcome as a DIY bench building activity among community.
15 Park design
Interview with user people There is nowhere to play games in a large group/circle. One man even has to stand behind the stone wall to be able to play. Before we came together as a group, each of us noticed something similar about the way people sit and interact in the park- they sit in a way that limits ease of social interaction and play.
More Play and Social Interaction Upon finding these problems, we decided that we wanted to create something that would enhance/ promote more ease of social interaction and play between people in the park. We figured that innovative seating would give us this outcome. PLAYABLE/ ACTIVITY/ EASY TO BUILD / ABILITY OF MODIFICATION
1st prototype test & feedback “It was too low to the ground, no matter which way you flipped it. -Too narrow and skinny for most people.” “Tall prototype was-too tall.” -Nice shape, very sturdy. Should be more round. “Give more of an arm rest.” -People like to sit at different heights, so make it either adjustable, or give more sizes.

Final Model After realizing the stacking and play ability that the small models presented, we decided that we wanted to build upon this idea. Thus, we created one main form (which has remained constant) and three other forms that branch off of the main form, creating a Tetris effect.

Kenya Project Fruit&Vegetable Solar Dryer In Kenya, produce and perishable foods are limited due to the seasonal growing cycles and lack of electricity and running water. Our project is based on finding the best solution to preserve fruits and vegetables before they go bad or do not get consumed.
19 Kenya Project
Outline for the Kenya Project As connecting to people living in Ndabibi in Kenya, understanding their prior problems which is deeply related to their life. Problems in Kenya We found early on in our process that the solar food dryer has many benefits that can be implemented in Kenya; it is Low-tech, low-cost, and can potentially dry food in bulk So that once the rainy season is over, the dried food can be consumed in the dry season. Food drying is a very basic skill that has been around for centuries. Drying fruits and vegetables is a great way to preserve food for the oncoming dry seasons.
90% of people from Ndabibi,Kenya are farmers, but only 34% of them have electricity and 46% have access to running water.

90%
Josphat Macharia and the NECC-Ndabibi, Kenya “We don’t have proper storage to put fruits so that can stay longer. We get vegetables for that day.”
In Kenya, 30-45% of fruits and vegetables are lost due to poor post-harvest handling. Method to preserve fruits and vegetables with less resource SOLAR FOOD DRYER Many countries use the solar drying technique. However, more modern techniques use enclosed drying racks to expose the food to the hot air flow. It is crucial for a solar food dryer to have hot air flow, using a reflective surface for the suns rays, a clear sheet on top for the sun to get through, and trays for the food to be on. “We have a lot of plastic crates; we carry bananas in them. We have clear plastic as well, it’s not expensive since we reuse it. Metal wire and wire mesh are easy to find too.”

Comparing with sun dry This dryer can dry three and a half mangoes within two days. The mango once dried can last anywhere from 3-6 months in a pantry or in a closed area. From the test, we can demonstrate this solar dryer works well.
Deliver a instruction paper to help Kenyan build their own solar dryer themselves.
