HAND CAPSULE

September 2020 - October 2020
Individual School Project





















The first project of my Bachelor was to design and build a capsule where you could sit, stand or lie down, only using cardboard. By playing around with forms in carboard, I discovered how easily a finger could be created. After constructing the rest of the hand in a 1:10 scale, I took upon the challenge the scale up the design to create the capsule. 



Original 1:10 Model








Since the project took place during the corona pandemic, we weren’t able to use the acadamy for constructing the capsule. Faced with a too small student apartment for this scale, I brought this project home to Norway. There I took advantage of the beautiful fjords for capturing the project. 





Below you see the creation and final shots of the capsule:





To learn Rihno 3D, I used the design of my capsule to teach myself the basics of the program. Scaling up the design even further, I turned the capsule into a pavilion.
