Your pod lacks a logic that explains how you came up with such a gemetry or mechanism. The reason is you haven't gone through an analysis process.

Let's say.. your postures diagram. You cartoonlike sketch was not developed to diagrams or drawings where you can precisely test the angles, curves, lengths or widths and extract prototypes of the geometry. Other than imagining and drawing extreme yogas in your mind, you can get pictures taken of different postures and draw analysing the relationship between vertical/diagonal/horizontal lines of you body parts - arm, leges, spine etc. Attached are a couple of examples. See pod images.




By doing this, you can generate some surface prototypes which you can transfer to the pod interfaces. When asked how you come up with such a form, then you can simply point out the diagrams showing the analysis of your postures. The corners you highlighted when you felt high pressures can be reinforced by rather bic curvatures or materiality.

So should your site analysis be worked out that way. To install your pod, you need to understand what the site condition is - which part is most noisy, mostly vibrated by residents' movement ...then you can decide if you use them and manipulate, by reflection, interruption, absortion etc...this can form your strategy. See the image, analysis as a graphic example.



Research how travelling sounds or noise levels are drawn in a section or plan. Then analyse the plan of the CP tower and draw the noise level plan or sound travelling plan as a visual analysis, which will tell you the location you can possibly plug in your pod depending on your strategy.

For the exploded pod...read exploded mechanism jpeg...see the differences are. Good to understand whichever you choose.



If you have any part unclear...don't hesitate to bother me.

Hi Tae,

Regarding your recent email, I was just wondering what the visual analysis was supposed to be?

Many thanks,

...

Task - 19 January

For next Tuesday tutorial, do the following:

drawing: exploded axonometric of pod

catalogue:
- arrangement of plans of pod elements
- arrangement of sections of pod elements

graphic manifesto: poster
- visually capture your strategy to plug in the pod elements in Centrepoint premise



The site analysis is important in feeding your stragegy for an installtion of the pod. Your stragety should come from the understanding and analysis of the physical, cultural and social conditions of the site - Center Point with respect to your pod elements.

In summary, bring your visual analysis diagrammes (not sketches. if you want to use any images or photos, use them as a base and add lines, arrows, tones whatever- trace/outline key ideas.) showing how your strategy was developed.
