Photographs of Trash Can design

Initial design idea for boxes with slide-out drawer and plastic pockets to hold research. These boxes would spin on a axis, however the spinning element was deemed unnecessary.



The initial stages of designing the different themed boxes out of various materials.

Design 2 - Trash Can

For my trash can I decided that my design junk was the Research I undertake with each
new project. With this I noted the importance of inspiration that comes from research and leads to ideas. To include this instantaneous moment in my trash can, I decided to show my research through the use of polaroids that capture that moment effectively. From there I designed a trash can that reintroduces research through the use of polaroids as that instantaneous moment of inspiration to help with ideas. For them to be a sort of treasure to the holder, the polaroids are categorized into 9 different boxes that relate to that box of treasures you keep underneath your bed. These boxes shall be themed so that their category is obvious just by looking at them, and kept on a sliding wooden system where the boxes can be organized, ranked and looked through at the users leisure.



The polaroids are categorized into eight different categories that all relate to Architectural design:
1. People
2. Places
3. Buildings
4. Detail
5. Material
6. Images
7. Drawings (hand and computer)
8. Written Word.
They can each be sorted into a filing system that allows the user to stick the polaroids on the outside surfaces of the boxes through the use of velcro strips. This allows the user to form ideas from their research in a creative and personal method.

Grotesque Portrait of the Institute

My poster shows the evils of studying Architecture full time. The lack of sleep, the stress and the anxiety through the heart of the studio; our lockers. Its the side of architecture you don't necessarily see, but which you know exists.
