Project 0: WALL-BALL

Wall-Ball: A playful tool that seeks to better acclimate designers to the dimensionality of the space that surrounds us.

Assumption- Creating a more consistent understanding of proportion and measured space is fundamental, in my opinion, to a collective architectural ideation. The Wall-Ball enables its user to actively, and tangibly, gauge the surrounding spatial fabric as they move through it. This tool could be very productive because it supplements the error-prone process of mental-projection and translation, with one that is more direct and intuitive.

Experience

Lots of experience with fabrication and design at a range of scales. I take tremendous pride in my craft and enjoy making things. Strong skills in most fabrication tools- digital and manual. I am reasonably friendly as well ;)

Why

I am very interested in Tangible Interfaces because I want to sharpen my ability to effectively communicate ideas. I have a deep curiosity in tools and processes, particularly those related to design, and I’d like to use this class to focus and develop these interests much further. Your comment about the ClearBoard being an Isotropic extension really excited me and I think research into the spatiality of interfaces could be very fruitful.
