PRESENTATION

INTRODUCTION

1.  "Body in the Forum" (Natalie and Bradley)

-discuss survey/statistics

-what users ("us") want in the forum

-what are the issues already existing

-limitations

*prezi*

2. Inspirations/Precedents (Christy and Amy)

-succinct/narrowed down inspirations/mechanics/etc.

*prezi*

3. Full site model of Stuckeman/Forum model (Gabby and Josh)

-explain parameters of site (dimensions) and scale

-explain limitations/regulations (what we can/cannot do as far as designing goes)

4. PANELS (Mecca, Rose, Amanda, Natalie)

-introduce panels and discuss models/ideas

-explain why we decided to break away from panels; comfort is more important to focus on

5. OUR DESIGNS (BENCH)

-SCHEMATIC DESIGN 1: chairs (Veronica)

-SCHEMATIC DESIGN 2: benches (Veronica)

-concepts drawn from inspirations: folding, sliding, contouring (Brad)

-angling for comfort

-introduce mock-up bench

-backing designs and why we decided to not do a back (Amy and Josh)

-show back demonstrations on mockup

*present detailed materials and mechanics: (Alena)

-suggested materials: poplar, maple, oak, pine,

-slats: aluminum and steel

6. FINAL DESIGN (Brian)

-modifications made to mock-up bench

-final materials chosen: maple and steel

-tapers- gives the appearance that the bench wants to be pulled apart (Greg)

-introduce cushions (alternative to backing) (Sarah and Christy)

-finishing: tongue oil, polyurethane, paint for slats (Gabby)

-mobility and versatility

-fits perpendicular to steps

*Expenses and budget costs (excel in prezi) (Amy and Greg)

7. CONCLUSION (Josh and Brad)

-why we care about this project:

-we want to leave our "mark" in studio

-important to us because we make a positive contribution to architecture students
