Manus Et Machina

Engineering Design Studio (A5, 015)
Sunday, September 9, 2018, 9:00 am – 11:40 am


Prelude

  • Attendance list

Overture: Theme of the Day => Drawing Workshop (Sketching, Scribbling, Rendering)

  • One, two, three point perspective (helpful link)
  • Technical drawings:
    • Isometric drawing: Note the 120° angles separating the x, y and z axes.
    • Axonometries with two same angles are called diametric
    • Axonometries with three different angles are called trimetric

Homework

  1. Think about three topics you are interested in. For each topic think about a machine (body extension) that is related to it. A few examples:
    • I am interested in photography –> I would like to build a body extension that holds my camera and applauds every time I take a picture.
    • I work for an environmental NGO –> I would like to develop a body extension that shares with everyone around me how the impoverished fields in the mountains of my home country can be fertilised in a better way.
    • I love art and I am fascinated by robots –> I would like to build a crazy body extension for people to charge their phones by using the heat of the human body.
  2. You will give a 5 minutes short overview about your ideas in class to receive everybodys feedback. One of those ideas will be realised in one or the other form by you over the coming semester.
