HOW DO WE STORE? To keep objects in an organised manner Object -> Device -> System HOW DO WE STACK?

-More minimal than a classic brogue - Shoe is derby style not Oxford - Described as ‘transeasonal’

Single object -> larger system

What effect should the shoe have on the wearer? - Confidence - Formality (but can also be casual) - Requires care to keep clean - Urban shoe

TO CREATE WITH CNC

ASSUMPTIONS

Solid rectangular form -> drill down to basic shape -> further refinement

The shoe is designed for everyday for the city dweller. The shoe is a foundational element of the wearer’s wardrobe and is treated with care to be worn time and time again. The shoe feels somewhat solid and sturdy. The shoe will gain marks and scratches which will become part of the personality of the shoe.

Objects placed in storage container -> containers placed on top of each other -> can be placed into larger systems

Raw material -> refined object SIMILARITIES BETWEEN CNC AND STACKING - Both require a flat surface - Both allow us to allow objects to connect with each other as with CNC parts can perfectly join (1) WHY CNC? - Greater precision than by hand - Ability to use a wide range of materials - Wood - Plastic - Foam - Metal - Fibreglass - Create a myriad of shapes and designs - Can ‘stack‘ materials together e.g different types of wood (2), THE SHOE (3) P. 16

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO STACK?

STACKING PRECEDENTS

To stack is to arrange items vertically in an ordered system. Often a surface separates each item, allowing for easy retrieval. There are many benefits to stacking, including items taking up less floor space and items being easy to see and comprehended as a group. At its essence, stacking is repetition.

In examining stacking systems I was interested in how the systems lock together. The first system, a simple stackable chair, is able to stack so effectively because it forms a shape which can tessellate. I attempted a similar tessellating system in an earlier iteration of my design but found it was too bulky. To work efficiently the design would need to consider shape. The second system is the milk crate. Although simple in design and form it proves immensely useful. The square shape provides rigidity and strength, allowing the milk crates to be moved around easily on a hand trolley. While this is a successful strategy to stack and store, I wanted to allow for more flexibility and variety in my design. The third system, a Jenga tower, is unlike the other two systems as it can be completely irregular and flexible in form. Not only does the Jenga tower allow for items to be completely rearranged within the tower (albeit with high likelihood of structural failure), the system only works through each layer of bricks being rotated 90 degrees. This method of rotating each layer sparked the basis of my design.

1C. CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT. ELIZABETH JANKOWSKI, TASK 1 - REAL. STORE MSD ALPHA60.

To store an item is to consciously acknowledge the inherent value in the item, either real or perceived. For the item to be easily retrieved later it is important it is kept in an organised manner. This typically involves the object being placed on or within a device which is repeated to form part of a larger system. Given the item being stored is a high quality leather shoe and the CNC method can produce a fine finish, I deemed a system to display and exhibit the shoe as the most appropriate response. My storage system involves interlocking pieces of CNC milled plywood to create a flexible modular system. Inspired by the way shoes are stitched together when they are made; my stacking system is assembled using a repeated series of T bone joints which ‘stitch’ together to form a display box for the shoes. The number of pieces used to make each ‘box’ can be varied, allowing the shoes to be more exposed or protected as required. The system has only three components; a rectangular ‘box’ piece with the shoe’s side profile cut into it, another rectangular ‘box’ piece with the shoe’s front/back profile cut into it, and a ‘base’ piece to lock the bottom and top stacked boxes together. Each layer of the stack consists of one type of box piece. The next ‘box’ on the stack is rotated 90 degrees from the previous ‘box’, allowing different views of the shoes from different angles. Each box piece can then be continuously stacked in a similar manner and reconfigured to suit display needs. In designing this system I drew not only upon other stackable items for inspiration, but also upon the design of the shoe itself. By calling itself a ‘brogue’ it immediately calls traditional quality craftsmanship to mind, while modern touches like the rubber soles add an urban edge. Designed for everyday wear for the city dweller, the shoe is a wardrobe staple to be constantly reworked and made anew. My system draws upon traditional wooden craftsmanship in the simple T-bone joint used, yet utilises this joint in an unconventional manner, allowing the stack to be arranged in endless combinations. The shoe and the stacking system can therefore complement each other, coexisting in a world of limitless possibilities.

‘EMERCENCE’ 2018 Universal Everything VR Experience This VR experience challenges the relationship between an individual and the crowd by immersing the participant in a crowd of thousands. As the participant’s avatar moves around the crowd’s movement responds, swirling, swarming or copying the movement of the avatar. Through this we can consider our personal relationship with external groups and how P. 44 this can inflence our behaviours.

In terms of storage we can consider what makes each individual item unique among a large ‘store’, as well as how other items can respond in turn. We could also consider what makes the wearer/ holder/ storer/ viewer of the item unique in their relationship to the item and the larger storage system.

TREEHUGGER:WAWONA/ IN THE EYES OF THE ANIMAL 2016/ 2015 Marshmallow Laser Feast VR Experience These two VR experiences explore flora and fauna respectively, yet share similar goals and methods. In ‘Treehugger’ the participant is immersed into the water cycle of endangered trees, seeing the water be absorbed by the tree and convertedinto oxygen. P. 46

In The Eyes Of The Animal allows the participant to ‘become’ various forest animals, seeing from their perspective from the forest floor to high above the trees. Through these works, the studio aims to bring participants closer to nature and highlight the importance of respecting and preserving natural environments.

Through this work we can consider how VR can be used to allow us to better understand an environment and its importance in a political sense. This could apply to the way we interact with ‘storage’ and the position we take on it. Are we storing items digitally as a challenge to traditional methods as an environmentally conscious act? Or is it to bring us closer to the item itself? How does the action of moving the item around in VR affect our understanding of it?

‘JOB SIMULATOR: THE 2050 ARCHIVES’ 2016 Owlchemy Labs VR Simulation Game “The year is 2050. In a world where robots have replaced all human jobs, step into the “Job Simulator” to learn what it was like ‘to job’.” Based around this premise, Job Simulator allows the player to explore four different occupations (Gourmet Chef, Auto Mechanic, Store Clerk and Office Worker) P. 48 in an entertaining and comical way. Human jobs have been reinterpreted (and misinterpreted) by robots, adding to the humor of the game. The cartoonish graphics add to the sense of fun and lack of pretension.

Replicating human work in a virtual setting has obvious paralells to the concept of ‘storage’. Instead of considering storage as a solemn process, we could take a more light-hearted approach by incorperating humour or thinking about alternative ways of displaying goods. Could we instead think of the ‘virtual storage’ concept as satire? What could we be commenting on?

THE VALUE OF VIRTUAL Virtual objects and phenomena allow us to reconsider, better appreciate and/or challenge our understanding and relationships with objects and phenomena in the real world. In this way we can consider virtual objects and phenomena as a form of archiving of lived experience. Virtual worlds and objects can only be understood and interpreted as an approximation to real world conditions. The value of a physical object is not transferrable to its virtual counterpart, however; a virtual object can portray and convey qualities of the real object, allowing a greater understanding of the real object.

Render, Vitsoe 606 Universal Shelving System, Dieter Rams, 1960. A FULL SYSTEMS APPROACH What lessons can be learned from a stacking storage system which can be added to, reconfigured and moved to suit the needs of the user? The simplicity of design allows the system to suit any space without being too visually dominant, allowing the displayed items to speak for themselves. Thoughtful details like the curbed ends on the shelves soften the design for a domestic environment. Simple, yet thoughful; utilitarian, yet carefully designed, a building block for a larger system, yet an item in its own right; the 606 Universal Shelving System has a lot in common with Alpha60’s ‘Kari’ shoe. How can this ‘full systems approach’ be implemented in the next project?

Participants place the VR headset on while looking out towards the harbour outside, then see the harbour and gallery in VR. The scene transitions from calm gallery to a tsunami crashing through the window P. 88 and unfolds into a dramatic and fantastical doomsday scenario.

While VR is often considered entirely its own world, this experience shows how it can draw upon the environment around it and reinterpret it as something new. How could this be used to give new meanings to ‘storage’?

Pulse Room Installation

PULSE ROOM Rafael Lozano-Hemmer Interactive Installation 2006 MONA Hobart Participants in this installation grab onto two sensors which measure heartrate which is then translated into an electrical pulse. The participant sees their heartrate pulse in the lighbulb directly in front of them. Lightbulbs are arranged into a gridded system, so as more people participate each heartrate is pushed along P. 90 the grid, each lightbulb showing a different person’s heartrate.

In this way we could consider this installation as a storage system of heartrates. Eash light represents one person, but the installation is viewed as a collective. How can we take unique data and represent it in a larger system? How could we accomodate for unique experiences of ‘the shoe’?

Images continue to evovle and change according to movement, including special effects when the seesaw reaches equilibrium.

While the graphic representation of the ideas may not be as strong as the concept itself, considering movement as a key driver in creating virtual worlds merits further exploration. How could the real movement of the shoe affect the VR environment, and vice versa?

Bestias XX Move Architects 2014 Santiago, Chile In this small shoe store in Santiago shoes are diagonally stacked on a wall, supported by plywood X shaped profiles. These profiles and the supporting plywood ‘pegboard’ behind were created using CNC cutting to allow for fast construction time and reduced costs. Not only does this system allow for the shoes to be stored in an efficient manner, it also creates visual P. 92 interest, a perfect example of ‘storage as spectacle’.

This project is a good example of what can be achieved using CNC cutting in a storage capacity while remaining true to a brand’s image. How CNC cutting be used in a way that is practical while also upholding Alpha60’s core values?

3D. CONCLUSION. ELIZABETH JANKOWSKI, TASK 3 - MIX. STORE MSD ALPHA60.

IN MOTION Walking is an act of world building. Whether we are hurrying down a busy street or strolling through a tranquil garden, much of the information we mentally store from our local environs is understood through bodily movement. The people around us also act as vectors for world building, as the encounters we have with other people, both familiar and strangers, give us new insights into the world we build for ourselves.

As this system can be installed in each city with an Alpha60 store, there is also the opportunity to have unexpected encounters with another world being built in another location in real time. If there are people using the system at the same time in different cities, the system can show the world-building experience the other user is experiencing at the same time as their own, literally changing the world for the user by adding a new perspective.

In this installation the shoe is both literally and figuratively a tool for building new landscapes in a retail store setting. The participant begins by selecting the real shoe in their size from the bench and sitting down at the bench to put it on their feet. From there they walk into the motion activated space and place on the VR headset. Recognising the person’s walk from tracking motion sensors installed into the physical shoe, the VR system will generate a location specific VR experience based on the person’s movement. As the person walks around the room, the world continues to grow in a stacking motion, each step creating new details or expanding the scene further.

Once the user has finished with the VR system, they emerge from the VR room and place the shoe back on the rack for the next user. On their way back to the rack they will pass the CNC room, where the steps which just occurred in the VR room are mapped out on a computer system and cut on a plexiglass sheet with a CNC router. Once this task is complete, the CNC machinist places the mapped walk of each person onto a display unit, stacking each plexiglass map on top of the other according to shoe size. In this way the physical steps can build and create landscapes in the real world, a phenomenon waiting to be further explored.

FUNDAMENTAL ASSUMPTIONS FINAL PROJECT #1 Accepted definition of storage: “To acknowledge the inherent value in item(s), real or perceived.” #2 ‘Storage’ implies utilitarian function, but through scale and volume storage can be turned into a spectacle, engaging the customer and creating a disctinct identity for Alpha60 as a brand. #3 The store can be thought of as a computer designed to run various programs. The physical components are ‘hardware’, the virtual components ‘software’. In this way both systems complement each other to form one system, known as a portal. #4 The future of retail will pivot towards consumer convenience, but will also require an innovative approach to entice customers to shop repeatedly. The Flinders Lane store will become a destination for click and collect; the Chapter House store will be for browsing and special events.

Once the consumer purchases the item it is no longer the property of the brand; its use is to be decided by the consumer. The consumer may attempt to emulate the fantasy lifestyle created by the brand or may choose to reinterpret the items as something different altogether. 1. Chanel runway show, Autumn/Winter 2014.

STORAGE AS SPECTACLE III P. THE ARCHITECTURE OF INFINITY 152 When items are placed within a very large storage system, we have the tendency to interpret repeated items stacked to soaring heights or depths as far as the eye can see as infinite. In this way the ‘infinite’ becomes understandable, yet is still beyond reach. The system thus takes on a mystical quality, connecting to realms beyond human existance 1.
