The Building of the Rehuman Seat, Day 1.

Monday 21st. February 2011, 8.00A.M-9.00A.M.

Nestled in the Diego Martin Valley, is the workshop of Edward O'brien. The welder that I will be collaborating with to build the Rehuman Seat.

Day 1 - We meet just for a few hours, threw up a rough mock up. To get our heads around the how and why.

The pictures below may explain further the process.

THE PLAN DRAWINGS.
For the Rehuman Seat 2010.

THE COMMISSION IS FOR TWO SEATS.
Which will give you this kind of body position.

THE JOURNAL.

That's another project altogether, which will be installed somewhere in the future.

MOCK UP.
The black and yellow lids are the seats, the white medical box will be the table.

THE MOCK UP.
The lenght will have to worked out manually, to get the personal feel of the body.

Mr. Edward O'Brien.

THE SEAT, ONE.
What came up was the connections. Connecting one seat to the other seat, making them detachable, portable and being able to store comfortably.

How will we stabilize the seats, so they wont rock.

MEASUREMENTS WILL HAVE TO BE PLACED IN MANUALLY.

THE WORKSHOP.
Getting it started is an interesting process of regarding, disregarding and disgarding.

A SOLUTION?
A cross bar can be used to stop the rocking

THE CONNECTION SYSTEM FOR THE TABLE TO THE SEAT, NEEDS TO HAVE THAT CURVE MOVEMENT.

Day 1, was illuminating for both of us as, we got to know each other. You talk some philosophy and life talk you bound in some small way that makes the relationship easier.

You have this deadline and everyone else have other work to do, schedules have to be worked out.

There is the design and sticking to the integerity of it.

Then there is the comission order and delivery.

There is the economics, materials, capabilities of the workshop, problem solving and skill.

That will see this to the end.

We meet next Monday.
