The aim here is to make something fast and ultimately entertaining to put together. This project is still in development, my role here ranges from 3D prototyping, digital models and output (laser cutting), assembly, and packaging. _ ___________________________________________________________________ <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/2058814/Screen shot 2011-10-10 at 6.45.24 PM5_2048.jpg" border="0" width="881" height="503" width_o="881" height_o="503" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/2058814/Screen shot 2011-10-10 at 6.45.24 PM5_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/2058814/lamp2sketchup_2048.jpg" border="0" width="874" height="530" width_o="874" height_o="530" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/2058814/lamp2sketchup_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://cargocollective.com/pamelatroyer/vector-illustration http://cargocollective.com/pamelatroyer/following/pamelatroyer/vector-illustration Sat, 24 Sep 2011 00:44:05 +0000 Pamela Troyer 2048946 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/2048946/lightexplodedview.png" border="0" width="670" height="906" width_o="2048" height_o="2769" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/2048946/lightexplodedview_o.png" align="left" /> Assembly instructions for a hanging pendant. ____________________________________________________________________ <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/2048946/rocky mountaineer station graphic3.png" border="0" width="665" height="494" width_o="665" height_o="494" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/2048946/rocky mountaineer station graphic3_o.png" align="left" /> Proposal drawing a for a large bamboo scaffolding installation. ____________________________________________________________________ <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/2048946/birdwallpaper.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="495" width_o="831" height_o="614" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/2048946/birdwallpaper_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/2048946/panoramadrawing.png" border="0" width="670" height="437" width_o="833" height_o="544" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/2048946/panoramadrawing_o.png" align="left" /> Proposal drawings for an outdoor installation on energy consumption using Tangible Interaction's signature geometric bird to display data through light and colour. ____________________________________________________________________ http://cargocollective.com/pamelatroyer/polygon-couches http://cargocollective.com/pamelatroyer/following/pamelatroyer/polygon-couches Fri, 23 Sep 2011 09:17:48 +0000 Pamela Troyer 2046161 This project so far has been about form development in the creation of soft but angular forms - polygonal furniture.

The physical constraints of this project placed the final product within one square-meter, called for the employment of Baltic-Birch plywood as the major component, and required the use of the pin router. Utilizing the help of children as co-creators to realize the outcome was perhaps the most important criteria we met to fulfill this project. We met with our co-designers, two young boys aged six and nine, three times during the project. view the accompanying praxis paper _ <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/1991826/524.JPG" border="0" width="670" height="502" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/1991826/524_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/1991826/seaspiweb.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="893" width_o="1350" height_o="1800" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/1991826/seaspiweb_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://cargocollective.com/pamelatroyer/crochet-tile http://cargocollective.com/pamelatroyer/following/pamelatroyer/crochet-tile Mon, 22 Aug 2011 03:26:19 +0000 Pamela Troyer 1893358 Created as both a space divider and wall treatment, this slip cast porcelain tile is versatile in its applications. Each tile contains uniform holes on each point and is therefore able to connect via a simple dowel support structure. This design is composed of only two elements — the tile itself and its corresponding wooden pegs — because of this, the pegs used for assembly also become a subdominant design detail. _ <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/1893358/tilesallweb.jpg" border="0" width="602" height="480" width_o="602" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/1893358/tilesallweb_o.jpg" align="left" /> __________________________________________________________________ <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/1893358/explodedmolddouble.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="460" width_o="710" height_o="488" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/1893358/explodedmolddouble_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/1893358/tileweb.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="502" width_o="1333" height_o="1000" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/1893358/tileweb_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://cargocollective.com/pamelatroyer/mini-capsules http://cargocollective.com/pamelatroyer/following/pamelatroyer/mini-capsules Mon, 22 Aug 2011 03:13:51 +0000 Pamela Troyer 1893344 These small, ceramic light spheres were created with the intention of finding a portable solution to ambient light.

Using switch case programming, the vest can respond appropriately to various environmental conditions - ambient, urban, dirty and toxic. Slow ebbing and flowing of the LED chest array indicate that the environment is habitable whereas a fast paced ‘breathing pattern’ and buzzing from cell phone vibrators placed over the lungs indicate a presence of danger.This project intends to humanize numerical data and sensors currently being used primarily for industrial purposes in order to bring environmental conversation to the foreground. _ <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/1893321/73556_10150310637860352_878845351_15579077_918490_n.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="1004" width_o="2000" height_o="3000" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/1893321/73556_10150310637860352_878845351_15579077_918490_n_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/1893321/detecairprocessweb.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="383" width_o="1398" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/119572/1893321/detecairprocessweb_o.jpg" align="left" /> view the short video below: or view the project on: fashioning technology, the huffington post
