Alle Latten am Zaun? – Objects from Timber & Nails +Instructions

Workshop Description

You each receive a set of 5 wooden slats of 2m length + nails.
Then you need to design an object (of your choice) using only the available wood & nails to build it. You may enhance the design with one additional part and you need to also design an instruction manual of how to build it so that anyone could do it. The objects construction and assembly plays a vital role from the beginning. First you will build models from cardboard/paper. Then you will build a 1:5 scale model of your obejct in balsa wood. Then you will build a 1:1 model of your final object & print the instruction you designed. Everything will be exhibited at the end of the week.

Educational Goal

You will gain insights into the pros and cons of flatpack-/knockdown design, you will learn something about how things are constructed and built, you will learn to empathize with the user, you will learn about manuals, modelmaking and have fun!
