ADESPRN : a POD.
When I first heard that we will be doing a ‘pod’, the first thing that came into my mind were an iPod-its portability and many uses, and the ‘peas in a pod’- the pod being the protection of the peas inside it. So my own understanding of this project as defined by our professor is one's living quarters, as an apartment or roo. I define a pod not just a living quarters but a space which has not just one, but multitudinous functions. This personal living area should serve well its user providing him comfort and ease. It will exhibit different design considerations like anthropometrics, circulation, solar orientation, and sustainability alongside addressing the basic human factors in design. The evolution of forms we came up for our “Pod” is a butterfly- its evolution from a cocoon into an adult butterfly- translating the intricate features and characteristics of a it into our design. The cocoon, like in the ‘peas in a pod, will serve as an outer protection to the user (pea/butterfly). With the very limited space given to us and the many functions our pod must serve, we must come up with a convertible and a flexible area.
