Exploratory Practice// CARC7002// CIND7002
Introduction Mobile working and Air B and B are contemporary ways we inhabit space and the city. But temporary inhabitation and rest in a space-not-our-own is a fundamental part of the mediated space we commonly inhabit in our lives. We all have basic needs of rest, relaxation and sustenance and there are a myriad of different ways this is designed, across the world, from guesthouses to giant resort hotels. We make our homes in a space only transiently our own and this is a fertile ground for challenging and interesting design solutions to the problems of these fundamental human habits.
Brief
In the first part of the explore project, you explored time, now you will be exploring space, specifically personal space. The new brief is to design a portable living device which allows the user to rest in the site of the Soane Museum, London.
Context
The device will need to: 1. Facilitate sleeping, eating, leisure, rest, relaxation. 2. Be very specific to the site you are working with. 3. Be portable or packable in some way. The first project is a combination of group work, and also individual design outcomes. The project is designed to challenge your perceptions of design skill and thinking as an an introduction to design research through knowledge investigation and making practice, and to expose you as widely as possible to the resources the university has on offer through introduction to the workshop spaces on site, and the opportunity to engage with some of the specialist making expertise available. It is also intended to provide you with a framework to determine your area of investigation for the year. We hope the project so far has brought you both challenge and satisfaction and some good lessons about project management and delivery of a real thing to a deadline. The next project will help you think carefully about how to design and make realistic details so you can design with resepct to materiality and manufacture, delight and realism. You should be going through a shift in your very understanding of design and approach to design thinking, to improve your critical and intuitive skills, which can be scaled up to include any design problem you come across. Through the review and supervision process you will develop a critical framework and self-evaluation which will allow you to progress your project work freely and you will become familiar with the process of design through prototype with the opportunities of testing to failure to develop a rigorous process and ambitious designed outcome.
Outcomes To expand understanding of fabrication methods and space making.
To develop engagement with detailed drawing and communication of spatial ideas. To develop understanding of detailed design, and engagement with materials, fabrication methods and engagement with ergonomics, personal space and pesonalised use. To develop specialist understanding of the the needs of space and the user, specificity of programme through design intervention. To develop skills in the manipulation of the perception of space through innovative solutions to a design brief. You will learn how to respond to a very specific brief, using contextual research as the basis for developing a spatial aesthetic language. UCA Canterbury School of Architecture // MA Architecture // MA Interior Design // 2019-20
The Soane Museum is a conglomoration of buildings which were built or aquired by the architect John Soane in the early part of the nineteenth century to house his family, his studio and his enormous collection of artifacts. It is now a museum and a centre for the study of architecture and it is a space of fascinating configuration, surprise, classical moments and drama. You will be designing your device for a specific, allocated space in the museum. You will share this site with two others, and whilst you are designing your device individually, you are required to produce drawings that include the devices of these two students. Your work may interact, you may share drawing information, but the detail and quality of the final drawings must be detailed and atmospheric. The sites are illustrated below but due to the unit selection process, your site will be issued to you on Tuesday the 12th of November, via MyUCA, so please watch out.
Site
We will be visiting the Soane Museum on Thursday the 14th of November as part of the London study Table trip. 1 Site

Exploratory Practice
Deliverables: Portfolio and physical output
During this course you will be free to identify your personal lines of enquiry, beginning with observations drawn from natural phenomena, making processes or behaviours that intrigue.
We will mis-use contemporary technologies, referencing current work in the fields of COLLABORATIVE phenomenology, neuroscience, robotics, material studies, art and interactive installations. We will borrow from a long history of artistic representation, narrative performance and craft making. We will hack into consumer INSTALLATION culture and manufactured products as and when it suits ourARCHITECTURAL agenda. Our work will speculate upon possible outcomes SCALE and alternate been grown from familiar contemporary technologies; DEVICErealities that have but we will do so through an assimilation and expert application of making skills and artistic craft knowledge that is readily accessible in the wider UCA community. prototyping, testing, experimenting, making Throughout the year, hands on, 1:1 scale prototyping will be used to design and fabricate phenomic devices and interactive installations of increasing scale and complexity. These Documentation blog will be used as a means with which to iteratively and intensively refine distinctive motive performances, patterns of behavior, novel forms of communication or interaction and Thesis Review Thesis Review manufactured artefacts. You will be expected to demonstrate expert knowledge of your chosen field of interest and complete mastery of your performative outcomes. Much of your work will exhibit a time based narrative element. It is expected that you Report Thesis will record and document every stage of your making and testing; explaining your manufacturing processes as physical cognition where error or failure is an accepted part of learning. These records will form an important element of your peer recognition and each project portfolio.
Literature Review
In tandem to your prototyping work, you will be encouraged to speculatively draw, paint Specialist Focussed as a parallel means of representation of design thought. These exercises will act as Guided an important feedback loop; cognitivelyForward dissecting your built artifacts whilst Personal Thinking informing and forming subsequent design steps. In so doing, you will learn to extrapolate the outcomes of your prototyping to provoke and disseminate dialogue on larger scale, contextual interventions.

C. A2 Professional and detailed portfolio of at least 20 pages, including but not limited to: 1. Case study research x2 2. Individual, personal research pages 3. Research into personal interests and developing knowledge of your ressearch bias moving forward. If you are going on the study trip to Paris, documentaion of this can appear here, or visits to design exhibitions/ sites in the UK. 4. Documentation of physical fabrication tests & prototype pieces, at least five iterations of the design, diagram of research and design development. 5. Records of any simulation, or digital work. 6. Axonometric drawing illustrating the interactive nature of the device over time and people’s interaction with the piece: how it packs and folds. (discuss scale with your tutor) 7. 1:5 drawings of the device in situ, including the two other devices in your site. Do they interact, share, conflict, co-operate? We expect at least a plan and an elevation.
Blog infor mation
D. Online digital blog of work done. This is an important assessed component of the project!! You should have set this up at the beginning of the year and update with documentaion of your activities and research. Please put the link to your blog in a word document in your elecronic submission.
Electronic submission
E. Electronic Submission 1. Film of project in use. Learn from your previous experience from the supper club project. SURNAME_FIRST NAME_BLOG (MP4 compressed to less than 200mb) 2. Link to your blog SURNAME_FIRST NAME_BLOG 3. pdf of your portfolio (compressed to less than 40mb) file name: SURNAME_FIRST NAME_EP_PORTFOLIO
Format
We are quite specific....This is the required format for the portfolios submitted, on A2 size paper. This can be of any colour but we suggest you use a slimmer and matt paper to be economical and simple. If you want to present large photographic images, you can mount them by hand. We suggest a simple font such as Helvetica and a range of sizes, captions and text can be 8-10, titles and sections 16-18. Take care with consistency and lining up your work, use inDesign and design a grid to help you out. A few decisions at this stage can really help you in the long run.
Remember to line through!

In the test, I placed the work in the environment of general light source, and then increased the number from 1 to 3. When more people hold the ball, the light will be brighter. In my design concept, people’s hands are like the carbon dioxide in the greenhouse gas. The more people, the more carbon dioxide accumulates, and the temperature will rise accordingly. I hope this work can express the effect of carbon dioxide to the audience. Mamarou Handa , MA Interior Design , 15/16
