Blob Chair - Collaborative Exercise Assembly

 Once the files of the design were finalized, the pieces of wood were cut using the CNC machine. After the pieces were routed, sanded, and stained, the fabrication team started the assembly process of the collaborative exercise chair.

MAB Installation - Prototypes

Several prototypes were developed, with one standout design featuring a captivating combination of polycarbonate and aggregate materials. In this iteration, polycarbonate emphasizes and enhances the lighting components, while the aggregate acts as a supportive base, illuminating them elegantly.

A sketch model was made to get an idea of this iteration in different lighting conditions. Building upon this initial concept, larger-scale models were then constructed, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the full-scale module.

 

Camp Winston Playground Project - Construction Week 2

 The team of students returned the following weekend to spend three days finalizing the wood construction of the playground. 

Camp Winston Playground Project - Construction Week 1

A group of undergraduate students across years dedicated three days at Camp Winston to work alongside camp staff. Over the first weekend, the students divided into smaller groups and took turns measuring, cutting, and framing the different sections of the playground. This collaborative effort allowed them to lay the foundation for the construction work effectively.

Vertebrae - Final Documentaion

 After 2 months of fabrication, the team accomplished a remarkable feat by successfully upcycling discarded shirts and create upholstery to create a comfortable and unique chair. The chair garnered recognition and was prominently showcased at the Toronto Metropolitan University's Department of Architectural Science Year End Show, highlighting the team's innovation and craftsmanship.
