we just finished our 1st cardboard chair and Linda & Tom's classes got together in Tom's class, everyone laid their chair on the floor and the critiques started...
I think it was very interesting, we questioned the main most important and basic aspects of a good functional chair...things i never even thought about concerning chairs...we discussed what makes a good chair? a pretty chair? a functional chair? and a lot of details were mentioned...
people choose chairs that look sturdy, that look like they can handle being sat on (that is sit-able), and it should look like a chair too ( or something that is a seat).
aethetics isn't important at all as long as everything else works great.
So I really liked that little critique/discussion about chairs and their properties.. it was really interesting.. i learned a lot of useful new information that should be helpful with this project...
otherwise we have an essay to do for tuesday about duality...and another essay due on the 29th + we have to build a prototype of a chair for the 29th, using any amount of cardboard that we want, but of course it should be well functional..
AND we have to have our final ready by the 31st of March...
