WEEK 5: 4th and final Idea: Select an idea that you will work on through weeks 5 and 6.

Brainstorming and research:


Meeting between people and chairs/ humans and ergonomics, why do we sit? A chair is a piece of furniture with a raised surface used to sit on, depending on the chair; it can fit 1 or more people. Chairs are generally supported by four legs and have a back: however, chairs have a branch of different designs including stools, benches, saddles, car seats, theatre seats, couches, lazy boys, recliners, swings. We use chairs mainly for comfortability and a place to rest. 


Alternative ideas;

1. Gambling/entertainment rooms, poker.
2. Small business meeting area.
3. Study area and or library.
4. Stadium / entertainment area
5. Cinema.

Idea:

Sitting at the Boat Sheds, why? How can this relate to the space in the boat sheds? My last idea is the combination of a cinema and a stadium. Premium location of the waterfront, a great place to meet, relax, look and enjoy the entertainment of ‘boating’ and the summer sun. My initial idea is to use the boat shed space to construct a stadium/cinema like area, which is facing the water.

Types of chairs

Which are most suitable for this idea? a quick brainstorm on what to consider;
  • Comfortability?
  • Ergonomics?
  • Durability?
  • Weatherproof?
  • Will it be inside or outside?
  • Placement/locations of the seats
  • Entertainment?
  • Aesthetics?
  • Events?
  • Food/drink?
  • Fixed or unfixed?
  • Raised or flat?
