This blog provides a forum for students, instructors and others to share information and ideas about the Spring Thesis Program at Parsons the New School for Design in New York City.
HS, This is looking really good. The logo is cool, and your life cycle analysis is convincing. It's really important that you show how environmentally low-impact your product is, because you are selling the idea that NEST brings you closer to nature, so you need to convince people that the product itself embodies an ethical approach to manufacturing.
I am glad that you are using the carbon fiber rods. Those achieve a very high strength to weight ratio, and they offer a lot of flexibility in how you can construct structures with them. I think that your next steps should include doing very detailed design drawings showing how the product will come together. You have done a good job of developing an overall philosophy and brand for NEST, but I don't think that the product is fully developed yet in terms of the details, connections, and materials choices. Let's spend some time tomorrow looking at that. Steven
