‘LIFE CAPSULE’
Project involves designing a ‘Life Capsule’: a confined space which will house multi-functional furnitures which the user can use for several positions and for activities within a 24 hours period. This project consists of two major stages 2a: Interim ‘The Shell’ which have to design the life capsule envelope and Project 2b: Final ‘Furnitecture’ wherein student will creatively design the internal space of the capsule or a can be one multi-functional furniture to address users various positions which will be corresponding to its activities. The very limited space will challenge the group to thoroughly examine the design approach by strictly considering and adhering to anthropometrics and ergonomics requirements.
Group is required to design a space in group of 6-8. Maximum dimension of capsule shall not exceed 8.00 cu.mts. ‘Life Capsule’ will be used for single occupancy only and for duration of 24 hours. Furniture and space should be multi-functional wherein it should contain the various needs and desires of the user. Life Capsule should consider light, ventilation, and enclosure. Safety, security and comfort. A re-conceptualization of furniture is a MUST. No traditional furniture since dimensions may not fit such limited space. Space can be the furniture itself. Site can be anywhere. There is no specific site given to the project. Consider incorporating elements and principles of design when designing. ‘Furni-tecture’ 1:1 Model MUST use fitting techniques and ‘ glue less’ construction as it will be exhibited outdoors. ‘Furni-tecture’ 1:1
