Project 2_Life Capsule

Introduction
This project is assigned for students to is to heighten the awareness of students about the human body, interaction of space and body, and explore the role of reasoning and logic in shaping the form. Students have to understand "Life Capsule"which thoroughly examine and consider anthropomorphic and ergonomics -body dimensions, body movements, human behaviors and user needs.

Learning Outcome
On successful completion of this assignment, students will be able to demonstrate the following:

• To explore objective parameters of design process through solving real-life architectural problems 
• Be able to distinguish and discern the role of scale and proportion in the relationship between the 
• human body and a designed space or enclosure 
• Understanding of human factors to the design of space (its size, shape, and how appropriate it is 
• for the task) to improve comfort, safety, and productivity 
• To explore the relation of form and function 

Tasks
In a group of 4, students have to give a 5-minute verbal and produce:

• 1 or 2 A2 Presentation Panel
• Capsule Model  (1:10) 

Submission
Group members: Chin Jo Vi, Evon Low, Edwin Ho and Ronn Chua

         

Reflection

In this project, I learn to concern about elementary user needs and create an awareness of scale and proportion of human metrics to create a meaningful space in a limited size given. Throughout this project, my team and I have fulfill the space with functions and needs. Beside the physical design we also put a lot effort and ideas in create a artistic and conceptual shape. With "the form follows function", we learn about the mother's behavior on taking care of her baby and shape the  functional  nursery.

I have a great team with people of different strengths and skills so that we are balance and well in produce the design, model making and presentation panel. I did learn many skills from them like how to draw a proper architectural orthographic.And I have improve my social skills when having project with these awesome people.
