Subject:Task for Week8_081118

Dear all
Next Tuesday we will have a pin up review.

--- do the following tasks sent out two weeks ago:
- diagram 1 - explaining the relation between your food (raw material and basic ingredients, prosthetic mechanism, facilities to cook and package the food
(the relation could be based on the time flow to prepare the food up to packaging)
(you can use picture images or even photoshop for this task)
- drawing 1 - your prosthetic machanism revised to facilitate the operation/function of your kiosk
(be specific about whether the mechanism involves in cooking, packaging, providing electric energy or whatsoever)
- drawing 2 - plan of your kiosk (1:10/20)
- drawing 3 - section of your kiosk (1:10/20)

--- DRAWINGS, not sketches
--- both plan and section should show structures and materials - you should be able to answer why

Some guys regularly missing tutorials had better be aware that six guys will be interruped soon and you can join them.
Be in the studio by 10:10.
Rahesh will come either in the morning or afternoon to check technological part of your design work.
Tutorial this Friday at the Maritime from 1:00.
Work hard - two/three weeks left before a crit.

At the next pin-up review, you need to be able to present your kiosk clearly based on the previous comments from Tea and me. what, whom, why & how?
I clearly indicated some of you who need to DRAW before being too late, 'no drawings (of the kiosk)' should sound serious.

Vipin
- no bamboos. design the interface, structure/mep to mechanism & operation/movement
Selam
- homeliness to sell, a moving creature with its anatomy and movement
- paper, frame, scale, moving units, joint details
- no drawings
Anna
- start with smell not with smoke, combine other senses like tactile-audio-visual, integrate the geometry with the mechanism. stick to the first sketch and get it evolved. a nice start but reinforce the rationale of the form.
Inga
- staging choreography- be specific with each stage and do fine tuning, too mechanical, be more poetic, interpret it to spatial language, focus on transformation process of water mellon
Asma
- the nice ideas are all lost- sweet & bitterly, lavour & compensation...
- no drawings
Kemi
- be very very specific, define the elements/process of preparing/cooking/packing your TAKEAWAY food
- no drawings
Demetris
- your wall does not catch the ambience, the aura of the first thoughts
- enrich the wall, design the wall, give the presence of your octopus to the wall
- no drawings
Mentor
- traditional : high-tech, the warmth of the stove: robotic arms, 'a kiosk vending machine'
- no drawings
Chris
- get rid of your preconception, integrated skin, should not be separate components like wall/ceiling/floor/structure...
- no drawings
Paula
- give a function to each piece of your egg, design the movement/operation accordingly
- no drawings
Nick
- clarify the sequence of the exchange, visualise and work the mechanism out accordingly.
Wei
- design your tailored workign platform, be minimal, no readymade elements except very very special occasions, all integrated, reveal the very moment of stirring & frying and sell it! be inventive.
Tingwei
- noodle-making choreography, robotic process.
Sam
- design a vertically layered kiosk unit and make a variation according to the types of your takeaway food. be inventive.
Preschant
- curry is lost. clarify what you offer re.'smells'
Dave
- go back to spagetti then don't need any asian references. build your mechanism technically and let it tell the form. make all the components integral to the mechanism.
