STF6 - 2016: Past Presentations
Designing with Limits
Sundae A&D Studio
In 2015 Sundae A&D were commissioned to design a new retail concept for Microsoft that was to be deployed across 26 countries in 4 continents within a time frame of only 6 months from brief to completion.
In her presentation Caroline will give an introduction to her previous investigations in 3d scanning of the human body to design furniture and wearable artefacts but then go on to discuss the challenges of designing for global manufacture. Whilst Rhino and CAD inform her designs in the London studio, sometimes information needs to be worked back into orthographic drawings when a universal, global construction language is needed. The success of this project lay in gauging how best to provide design information and specifications that would translate successfully into the finished products regardless of locally available technology.
