THE PRESENTATION POST

This post's privacy is set to Everyone. This post showcases your final design by telling the comprehensive story of how your idea was born, developed, and manifested. The arc of the story should encompass the, How of your project in a compelling narrative. It showcases your design process including your brainstorming, each of your iterations, and your final prototype. It allows the viewer to delve deeply into your process.

• Every Slide should have a Title and Caption.
  The body of this post is The Brief. You should include a version of the Brief for each collaborator in the project.
• This post will be used in your review presentation at the end of the session.

You are encouraged to make your narrative as compelling as possible. All of the content below should be included, but if you would like to rearrange the material in order to tell your story differently, work with your coach.

INTRODUCTION PORTION

Your presentation is a narrative, and the introduction sets up the scene for that story. Here you introduce the project, say why it is important, and summarize what you did.

TITLE WITH TAGLINE: This slides shows a crisp, clear final image and the title of your project. with a pithy blurb describing the project. The image, name, and tagline should draw a viewer in. 

Examples:

• The Fruit - A line following, light tracking robot
• Segmented Vehicle - A vehicle that conforms to the landscape
• Cacoon - Wearable sculpture exploring the concept of transformation and death

EVOCATIVE  IMAGE: This is a single image that shows a clear image that evokes the soul of your project. This image helps set up the why in a compelling way, sets the stage for your narrative, and will help frame the entire presentation. The caption of this slide (set with the Edit Captions button when editing your post) should discuss the context of your project. No Text on the slide.

THESIS STATEMENT: This is a TEXT ONLY slide for which briefly describes the Soul and Body of your project. You can use the project description from your Brief or write something new. This statement ties together your narrative.

Examples:

• The Cocoon:  A wearable sculpture that explores the concept of transformations and death. The Cocoon explores the spiritual journey beyond the human experience; what it means to be human, how wonder effects us, and the concept of what happens after death.
• Body Accordion: A musical prosthetic that translates the wearer’s body movements into a dynamic multimedia performance. The Body Accordion converts flex sensor input to sound through Arduino, MaxMSP, and Ableton Live. 
• Seed to Soup Animation: A whimsical animation about the slow food movement. Seed to Soup showcases a holistic method of cooking. From garden, to kitchen, to dinner table.
• Antlers: A wearable sculpture inspired by antlers found in the deer and antelope family. "Antlers" explores the comparison between armor and attraction. 

PROCESS PORTION

The Process Portion of your presentation tells the story of how you iteratively developed your project. Somewhere in that story you should include conceptual and technical precedents that guided you at each stage as well as brainstorming and process sketches and clear photo booth imagery for 3-4 stages of your process.

This portion is made up of three types of slides repeated 3-4 times. Each iteration in your process should include:

• PRECEDENTS:  Precedents are any projects that inspired you creatively or gave you technical guidance. These can include conceptual precedents and technical precedents. No Text.
• SKETCHES/SKETCH CONCEPT DIAGRAMS: These slides show your generative ideas in sketch form. These should clean, clear drawings. A sketch should show a clear idea. Do not simply scan a messy sketchbook page and expect that people will understand. If you do not have a clear concept or working sketches it is fine to make them after the fact. No Text.
• PROTOTYPE IMAGES:  These are actual images of the prototypes  you documented in your daily posts. These images illustrate your design decisions and how your project changed at each step. No Text.

FINAL PORTION

The Final stage of your presentation is the resolution of your narrative and shows your completed work. The use diagram shows how your project works and the construction diagram shows how it is assembled. Final photos show the project both in action and at rest. The imagery captures your final built design.

USE DIAGRAM: A diagram showing some aspect of the functionality. These can include:

• How one uses or interacts with the project
• The overall behavior of the project over time
• For a complex interactive project, this can be a clear diagram of the software behavior

MECHANICAL DIAGRAM:  A diagram offering insight on how the project is put together and functions technically.

• Ideally, this will be an exploded axonometric
• At minimum this can be a labeled disassembled photo  

ELECTRONICS or OTHER DIAGRAM: Additional diagrams showing some important aspect of your design. 

IMAGERY: The last slides should have an images of the final project. These images should be taken in the photo booth, cropped, and adjusted for contrast, brightness, etc. Images should include:

• An image of the project in use (taken in the booth or at large). This should include a human interacting with the project.
• Images of project alone. Include at least one overall image and one detail image.
• You can also use an image In-Use. 
• Consider using a GIF to show how the project works. 

It appears that the onion is comprised of a slou of components in order to fully provide proficient layers for the scale model. Different layers of the onions allows it to provide more complexity, which both enables it to be far sturdier as well as having a swifter physique. All in all the componenets allow the onion to be more readily transportable, along with having an adaptive element to most any environment.

1) The first 2 images show a shelter made from recycled water bottles. I choose these images because it would be a good idea to use materials that we already have to save more money. Even using materials such as plastic water bottles, they still provide the shelter and cover that we need. We could take the labels off the plastic bottles to be able to give more of a view because the bottles are clear to give more light and to have it more clear to see outside. I think the most important thing of this is the way the author uses this to create a cool shape of the shelter. The least important is how the plastic bottles are different colors. I think we could keep them the same color like clear or green or whatever we feel is best

2) The last set of photos shows a hexagon that me and Carson made last year in our tree dwellings studio. I choose these photos because it fits the idea of this studio. In the model where the area is cut out, there would be glass or aplastic windows. I think the model is a cool design and would be cool to make. I think the most important part of this how you can see through almost any wall with it being glass or plastic but yet be inside and safe in a closed structure. One thing that we could change in this is the amount of glass windows because the sun might make the inside hot so maybe we could shut the windows or have a way to open one and find a way to give it a cover.

Tom Chudleigh designed and built the free spirt spheres. They are hand made wooden structures which are held up by a web like attachment to whatever structure is close and strong enough to hold it up. The spheres are made of cedar strips like a sailboat. The idea being that the sail boat is both sturdy and light in weight.

This is potentially important to our project as we are designing an outer shell which will need to be lightweight and also protecting from the outside elements. A window would be incorporated to ensure that there is enough natural light allowed in to the sphere and using inspiration from the design of a sail boat will make it robust and also lightweight.

We would avoid proven mistakes in this kind of project which include making it too rigid. Tree houses need to have some flexibility as they will be hit by wind and rain, they need flexibility provided by the web like attachments mentioned earlier.

The Bird's Nest is also owned by the Treehotel as a way for people to live and connect with nature in Sweden. The Bird's Nest was constructed in 2010, and the architect behind this masterpiece was Inredningsgruppen Bertil Harström. The project is important because it allows you to become part of the surrounding while being able to life in style on the inside.  I believe the most interesting part of the building is the structure as a whole. It allows one to attain a bird's perspective by living in a gigantic bird's nest. Based on the studio's ideology I believe the extensive living component in The Bird's Nest is unnecessary/irrelevant.

The Mirrorcube is owned by Treehotel as a way for people to live and connect with nature in Sweden. The Mirrorcube was constructed in 2010, and the architects behind this masterpiece were Tham, Videgard Bolle Tham, Martin Videgard. The project is important because of its unique structure and living space. "The Mirrorcube is an exciting hide-out among the trees, camouflaged by mirrored walls that reflect their surroundings. The dimensions are 4x4x4 meters. The base consists of an aluminum frame around the tree trunk and the walls are covered with reflective glass." I believe the most interesting part of the building is the structure of the mirror cube building. Based on the studio's ideology I believe the extensive living component in the Mirrorcube is unnecessary/irrelevant.

This week we have made very good progress. We made a new and bigger model of our project. We had to expand the rhino file to make the sides bigger and the floor as well. We ran into trouble with support for the roof. As we experimented with different types of support we came to the conclusion of a dowel in the middle for support. We added circular filters on the sides instead of the shape geometric triangles. We changed the top of our drums as well to show the color. Next week we plan to cut out pieces complete scale.
