Week 11 - Tuesday - Ideas and things to consider 

- think more about the journey  - how do dogs enter and what will what the entrance look like - in the real world, we as humans would drop our dog off but reverse this so the dogs drop the humans off - maybe choose a particular human setting for the dog area - consider that you are running a normal event but it is dogs that will be using it - do you need even runners/facilitators? - when is the journey over and when can the humans come out of the cages? - apply strict rules on the humans but assure them it is okay  - do you need signage? if you do think about signage in a design way not is a ‘tacky’ way - make people want to participate - why did you incorporate the stairs? (we did this to maximise the dog space, make humans be at a slightly lower level and to also make the cage experience with minimal visibility to see out to the dog area) - maybe we have a scent on the table with water to get dogs using them - would you consider putting ‘dog-like’ props in the human enclosures? - maybe the facilitators could be called ‘ dog walkers’ and they walk the humans to their enclosure

Another development of the dog space

We’ve decided on a picnic/ chill setting so starting to play around with shapes and ideas that are quite minimal.

I think we’re going to take a step back and really focus on a human picnic/ public space layout created at the size for dogs The idea of these ‘bar taps’ solely using water brought up the idea of farm animals getting water from trophs..something we do not want to portray

1:1 modelling in workshop

3 materials being used in our model: - Steel pipe as framing - Steel mesh as the caging - Corrugated acrylic to enclose

Step 1. 30mm steel piping was cut down into four 300mm long pipes.

Step 2. bolt holes were drilled (12.5mm drill) into each of the horizontally oriented pipes, these will be assembled with 10mm bolts.  This allows for a 2.5mm tolerance as this structure will be assembled and dissembled giving room for movement.  Drill holes were tidied to remove sharp edges.

Step 3. Because we are using recycled materials, the steel piping and mesh were rusted.  These needed to be sandblasted and sanded in order to weld together.  

Step 4. T-bars were welded together, along with mesh onto both horizontal and vertical faces.

Ambient Lighting is the main source of light in a room, and it can be natural light or provided with electric overhead fixtures. It allows people/dogs to see and move around easily and comfortably.

Basic concept for our dining tables.

- Add on to the outside will be for the smaller dogs to reach the water so that all as a collective no matter what breed are drinking at the same level

(Second image) - by downsizing the scale by 0.75 it creates a more intimate circumference and the possibility to situate 4 ‘tables’ to further represent a dining experience

Diagram sketch of how our 1:1 partial model will look and work. Because our main design element is the human enclosures we have chosen to base our 1:1 model on this. We will be using three different materials for the human enclosures, Steel pipe, corrugated iron and steel mesh. The section we have taken from the human enclosures to make the model shows all three of these materials and also a joining method (this is so the structure can be disassembled and packed into a truck for transport).

Week 10 Feedback from Jen:

- Packing? - How does the structure move? - Does it flat pack? - How can it be transportable? - Consider materials - Contrasting materials to show a clear difference between the human and dog space - Think about the human language and animal language - How can the animals activate the structure of space? - Would be good to see an image of humans using the interaction gaps - Decide on a final design for the dog space

Third Design Element

Shows the interaction between our first (human enclosures) and second (dog space) design elements. This idea is that humans are able to reach through the small gaps to pet and interact with the dogs on the other side of the enclosure. We want the human to be able to voluntarily interact with the dogs but from someone on the outside watching this activity, they would realise that the human is still being restricted in some way, just like how a dog is able to do some activities but still be restricted by a leash.
