Project 2
1:1 Tectonics, design principle , anthropometric and ergonomics exploration
In this project, student are required to form a group of 6-7 person. Student need to design and construct a 1:1 tectonic structure by using bamboo as main material.The structure should fulfill the need of the chosen banal activitiy

At the beginning of the project, we do a research of bamboo to understand the characteristic it.We also done some precedent study to learn how they design using bamboo.Besides, we learned how to joint and tie bamboo
We choose Stretching as our banal action.After that, we tried to do some test model to refine the design.

The final design is using line and rhythm.The design was inspired by muscle movement.The space at the beginning is narrow and dark to show the muscle is tight and user will feel uncomfortable when the muscle is tight.The space is becoming wider and brighter gradually to show the muscle stretching process.
Reflection
From this project, i learned the characteristic of bamboo.I also learned how to use bamboo characteristic to built a physical structure.Also, I had learned the ways to built a real structure such as the jointing,tie, cutting and material choosing.I know how to design in ergonomic ways.In this project,I also learned to corperate with my teammate and avoid conflict between each others.
