IT WAS A SMALL WAREHOUSE THAT WAS TO BE CONVERTED INTO A RETREAT FOR HERSELF. MY CONCEPT ON APPROACHING THIS NEED WAS TO DESIGN THE DOOR, WINDOW AND SPACES TO THE CL IENT’S PROPORTIONS. STUDYING CORBUSIER’S MODULOR MAN DESIGNING TO THE PORPORTIONS OF MAN. FROM WHICH I FOUND MY OWN TWIST AND DID IT TO THE PROPORTIONS OF A FEMALE WITH ONE ARM RAISED.

T H E TA B L E D E TA I L WAS A TWO WEEK PROJECT WHERE WE HAD TO DESIGN AND BUILD A FULL SCALE TABLE OUT OF THE MATERIALS OF OUR CHOICE. FOR MY TABLE I CHOSE WOOD, GLASS, AND STEEL. THE WOOD ELEMENTS ARE COMPOSED OF CHERRY WOOD RIBS THAT MAKE UP THE BODY OF THE TABLE WITH WALNUT WASHER THAT WORK AS SPACERS. BOTH OF THESE ELEMENTS WERE CONSTRUCTED BY THE C-N-C ROUTER. THE GLASS IS A 3/8” TH ICK GLASS; AT ONE END TOUCHES WOOD AND AT THE OTHER TOUCHES STEEL. THE STEEL MEMBRANES ARE THE MOST-DEL ICATE DUE TO THEIR S IZE, BUT BECAUSE OF THEIR NATURE THE STRONGEST AS THEY HOLD UP MOST OF THE WEIGHT ON BOTH ENDS. ESSENTIALLY THIS TABLE MAKES A CYCLE WHERE ALL THREE ELEMENTS TOUCH.
