For my presentation of my model I showed my inspirational quotes, designer; Frank Lloyd Wright, and object analysis, parti's, concept models, floor plans, section, north and east sides, materials perspective views and shadow from 3 times during the day. The name of my final seat and shelter is called Rigid Flows due to the inspirational rigid lines of Frank Lloyd Wright's many designs, found objects; pine needle and the flows of the second inspiring object; water. These posters are mainly to show my process through the entire design up until the final model and presentation boards.
I designed the seat and shelter prototype for outside the EMP in Seattle, Washington. The warm colors of the EMP structures and grays of the city will contrast with the popping blue,purple, and green tones of Rigid Flows. Rigid Flows incorporates both art and shelter/seating purposes in its structure. Granite and quartz are used to incorporate nature into the design. Using these rocks as seats are designed to keep the people of Seattle comfortable. I am from the Seattle area so I've experienced the Seattle culture and the native people in Seattle are very relaxed and down to earth in the city. You can meet some very interesting people in Seattle. For the most part they are even comfortable just sitting on the rocks against the shoreline, the curb of street and anything in between. The rocks are designed to me smooth and comfortable to sit on with some curvature to encompass any human size.
Also the inside of the structure is made for a handicap-able person to back up into and stay out the rain which Seattle is known for.
I chose to have a metal roof for my seat and shelter so that the sound of the rain hitting the roof would create a beat much to that as music. Seattle is well known for its music created my street musicians and talented musicians from the schools. Basically the seat and shelter will fit right into the day and night life of the cityscape and be in harmony with the city itself as a whole.
