Task: Design a place of "sustenance."
Kibeom Park (Sean) (http://kibomkun.wordpress.com/)
Interestingly, Sean's idea for a place of sustenance was a public toilet - situated along a pedestrian.

As shown by his research, public spaces of this sort exists along pedestrians. One of his image showed a public toilet that has to be pulled up from below the ground. Once one has done their business, it is pushed back into its original position. Most of these public toilets however, are made for males - guess it's coz their quicker.
His structure was to be made from cardboard - inspired by Shigeru Ban and his cardboard architecture.
In terms of connection, I really liked the way he used joints which would minimise the use of nails. I thought that was very sustainable. I also took note of the fact that because it was to be made from cardboard, it's life expectancy was obviously going to be short. Sean said "maybe 3 years."
Lingbing Chen (http://fatinachan.blogspot.com/)
Lingbing's building was influenced by her main source of sustenance - coffee. She came up with a space where you can sit down (comfortably) and have a cup of coffee. What I really liked about her design was the fact that upon looking at the structure, I would think that it was just a checkered wall. But it actually has a function. Each square lining in the wall can be pulled out from the wall to act as a seat, a table, or a cantiliver for shelter. It was interesting because the amount of timber that could come out of the wall, meant that everyone, of all sizes and heights could be catered for.

The detailed model showed clearly how it works.

While Lauren was explaining her design, I had a flash back to moments when I was in a park, under the moon-light, with my ipod. I enjoyed that flashback. It was the simplest way to distress. And on a chaotic day like crit day, it felt nice to have that feeling.
Lauren's source of sustenance was her ipod. Her main idea was to build speakers around a lamp-post. Somewhere that you could connect your ipod at night, and listen to music while sitting in a park at night. While the materials she used to replicate the speakers weren't too convincing, the whole idea of a relaxing scene been made up in my head made up for it :)
