Project Assignment: |
1. Research summary and diagram study of ergonomic design standards for exterior seating. Utilize the variety of benches located throughout the ISU campus to identify typical dimensions. |
2. A set of prototype scaled models (2-3) illustrating the design process and development of
detail connections. |
3. Develop a set of construction drawings (to scale) including dimensioned plan, section, elevation, connections/joints and other relevant construction details. All drawings should have
a complete set of notes and description of the construction assembly. Someone should be able to use these documents to recreate your bench. |
4. A full-scale bench built out of at least 80% reclaimed or recycled materials, with an emphasis on wood. |
5. A detailed material list and cost summary for the constructed bench. |
6. A summary portfolio that documents the design and construction process. |
