Project 3: Nokori- Play, Study, Rest area
o Nokori-
Inspired by the idea that given the same object, people tend to vary the way it is used if not told specifically what it is or how it is used.
Nokori has been designed to cater to young people by allowing them to play with the blocks, to students studying outdoors by providing tables, chairs, and the ability to move the seating to another side of the area for more privacy, to working aged people as general public space seating whether they're eating lunch, waiting for people or simply taking a break, and to the elderly as somewhere to rest when out and about.
Nokori is a series of trapezoidal blocks vertically standing, running on a track using a locked in rod system. The blocks can be used as seats, playground equipment and also as an added feature, a table which raises when the top of the seat is wound.
Nokori is made out of powder coated aluminum, extruded so that it is hollow inside and not too heavy for the general public to move around. The design of the track that it runs on depends on the size of the space intended, and so is the colours used.
For example, a public space such as in the Fairfield City area, may choose to make all the upper parts of the blocks all different colours, to reflect on the cultural diversity of the area.
