The texts and image of the reorganisation of thoughts

[About design thoughts]
From nine ideas, nomad and the movement of figures are considered as the most important part of design concepts. The continuous landscape reflects to nomad the different environments. According to the definition of nomad, it is the communities of people that move with herd animals from one place to another. When the foods run out, the subjects start to move to next field. It is a motive for people to change the living field and there will be an interface between two fields (original and new). Therefore, there is an interesting dialogue between the speed of the movement and the 'food' in the environment.(speed will be slower when there's more food and faster speed with less food) The dialogues are between the footprints and the environments.

[About adding Object]
Object is a part of human body. It records the traces of nomad - footprints.
Firstly, the key point of mobility is the movement of legs. It might be like a sewing machine on the body to tattoo the landscape in the environments.
The trails of nomadic move reflect the environmental status and the object reflects the status of regional creatures (food, insects, etc.). Therefore, the object with the body is used to travel in the environment and record the regional data where the object passes. The object collects the datum of the environments and provide the basic information for the next move to a new field.

Following is a graph showing how to tattoo a traceable landscape on skin :

The trail of movement from human body

I think the two pictures try to record the trace and moment of human's movement.
In the first one, the white trace of dancer also leave kind of relationship with the spcae and human body.
The second give me the prime idea of the blink although they are doing the similar motion.

Notating the fragments of movement

I use the successive photographs to record the nomandic movements, which is walk and runs, and set the notation on the background. In these series, actions, distances, times and speed give some bases of movement. However, I think it still needs to consider the relationship of figure and environment.

The traces of object in environments

Nomadic active: Mobile and Portable

PROJECT: 'FLEXSPACE TEMPORARY HABITAT'
CONCEPT:

PROTOTYPE: Because human is the most important factor in any habitats, habitats cannot illustrate their value If nobody utilizes it. The concept of this temporary habitat is to use human body as a part of its structure. If nobody is inside, this habitat would collapse and become just a junk. On the other hand, if we dwell in it and use our body as a part of its structure, this junk cardboard can provide a flexible personal space for us. Form and space of this habitat can be adjusted to many patterns depending on different activities.

The drawing about Nomadic objects in 3 evnrionments

This drawing is based on the previous thoughts - 3 environments (cliff, forest, swamp) are a continuous landscape and the 9 curiosities of the study object (knee) having picnic in the 3 environments.
The main concept of this drawing is NOMAD and I used the figures to connect all the other curiosities when imaging the object having picnic in 3 environments. Based on the moving principles of legs, knee is an important hinge to control the movement of legs. This is why I chose ‘the knee’ as my study object, and to connect the 9 curiosities. In the study process, I always keep the relations between the nomadic body movements and the environments in mind.
Next, I started to draw arcs to trace the motions and also gave them notations. The continuous motions represent how to travel or picnic in 3 environments (Cliff: a vertical running movement; Forest: 2 parts - one is running through the trunks of trees and the other is through the thickets of treetop; Swamp: amphibian move out from underwater to land). Also, using line graph to present the energy and speed of the moving object The density of line presents moving pace (the higher density shows faster pace and the larger graph presents more energy used.
In this drawing, 2 nomadic journeys are shown - in continuous landscape (rushing out water - through trunk of trees / thickets of trees - climbing to the top of cliff)
The next step, I think I should strengthen the ideas from 9 curiosities, such as Visual camouflage and the interaction of dynamic events. Maybe use photographic / lines / notations, etc.

Nomadic Object

I'm thinking the most inportant motion of nomad.

so I try to record the motion of legs.

The knee is a hinge of leg to control the body movement.

I separate 3 parts of the motion when people run or walk.

Then picnic in environment...

Having picnic in 3 environments

I re-study my 9 ideas and 3 environments then thinking how to have picnic.

This case stands on the first week's work( the ideas is a countinous terrian, the density of level and representation of 'boundary', 'speed', and 'agile' ).

This countinous terrian (the below graph ), I used the graphic I took from Kew as a guide to construct and also thinking my 9 ideas.

Swamp(left) presents the character of amphibian

Forest presents two level of space (the trunks of trees and the clumps).

Cliff presents a vertical level with some details cover the cliff (rocks and plants)

Finally, I'm thinking countinous paths to run through three environments at the same time, also thinking about the ideas: Nomads, Body and Figure, and dynamic movement ...
