Design II Project 2.3 Unit of Inhabitation

Brazil is a film by Terry Gillian that shows his vision of the future generated by societies’ bureaucracy and organization entities. In many ways, it depicts some, nowadays, facts of rigid urban spaces that do not allow individuality or any kind of freedom.

Similar to the design of the previous phase where there is a clear distinction between two groups of people with a different lifestyle, the design of the two units shows how the space and the arrangement of furniture differ between them. 

One unit is designed for a single person. The other unit is designed for ten people. The areas of the two units are equal. However, the ceiling for the one-person unit is higher. And of course, the density of the ten people unit is higher than that of the one-person unit. 

In the one-person unit, almost everything can be move depending on how the user is feeling on that day. The arrangement of furniture is completely customizable. Every person has their own furniture and space in the ten people unit. Here, the arrangement of the furniture is fixed and the positions of each type of furniture are placed together in a line. 

The grids on the floor show how much space the furniture have taken and how much space is left.

Since no one will see this..

2016 was definitely a major disappointment for me. I lost over $5000 in stupidity and more stupidity. I was envious of someone that I could NEVER be. I was a quitter, I still haven't found my voice and I'm settling for less. I don't want to preach about all the change I'm hoping for in 2017. This year I lost my connection with God I want to admit that. I hate myself for that. I'm trying to change my boyfriend and I'm not realizing that he's just the way he is and if I'm not okay with who he is I should not try to change him. Maybe I should just leave. I want to save, I want to get fit for the summer and try something new. I want to get trophies in what I love. I'm so grateful for the impactful things this year. Like my beautiful niece, reuniting with my cousins after years, working with a different culture and all of my parents blessings. I want to get back to who I want to be in the future. I started this school year lazily. I failed many things and just let it go. Last year I was on my game and I finished strong. I need that strength again and I need to keep my vision for myself in mind. In order to be who I want to be I have to pave the way so I need to start over before it's too late and I regret these dumb mistakes even more.
