Assignment 6: Kayla Quinn: The Acoustics of timber

I started my project by thinking of a box, the size the shape and the position of what could be held within the box. Then i began to change the box into a shelf and what was the best way to show off the object held upon it. I wanted to to flow, to have the object become part of the shelf.

I then began to specify the object within this "shelf-box" and thought about rhythm, pattern, and overall natural flow and from it i thought of music and wanted to highlight the complete beauty of record albums. They preform the best flow of sound (way better than and digital version). I thought about the circle inside a square shape of a record and how a record player is made.

After i settled on a design i created the model in rhino and cmc routed it with Liz, Danielle, and Carter. The machine broke down many a times and we had a lot of fun in wood shop fixing the problems. We learned from the project and eventually all was well and the product was created.
