bench development

this is the beginning development of my conceptual bench design in sketchup.

after doing this model, i think the general model of the repeated shape works, but i want it to twist to create more stability and visual appeal.  the concept is to create an illusion of movement in relation to the concept of transmetamorph and the train.

OH JIMMY

jimmy is officially the opposite of DF7A26.

his blog was the only result for the google search "opposite of DF7A26"

HILARIOUS!

bench sketches

more inspiration

more product inspiration

i have decided that i definitely want to do a bench for my individual focus on product design.   i want the bench to serve as a break in those places of transition and outdoor moments that we have within our building design.  i did quite a bit of searching today and found many inspirational images as i begin my design process...

"pencil bench"

this one's for eric...

the form

after getting out some individual thoughts, jimmy, jessica, and i, discussed our ideas with one another and were able to model a building form together that we feel best represents our program and ideas for the design.  so this is our final building form ("this is concrete!"...not literally).  

after getting a solid building form, we did some sketches individually of how the form may relate to the site (entrances, etc.).

it was a very productive afternoon for the three of us!
