Product & Action from Bathroom 1 text

Product / Action

Beginning to move things around in the digital version of my bathroom - this has limitations, of course, because of the walls and structure that surround the products within the bathroom.
In image 1, I have pulled the shower out from the wall 500mm, and rotated the sink so it is parallel with what represents the shower door.

 Image 2 is the joining of the sink and the shower, doubling up the partition between the shower water and the rest of the bathroom with the mirror behind the sink.

 In image 3 I have rotated the attached shower and sink so that the sink is at a right-angle with the existing walls. This is so that the sink is the first product you come across when entering this bathroom.

 In image 4, the sink and shower have been brought closer to the main entrance to the bathroom - the doorway at the top of the image is the recessed sliding-door into my sister's bedroom, the main entrance is on the opposite wall. The progression as you enter the room is from sink to shower to bath.

This relates to my recordings in the bathroom diary I have been keeping - and duration - the sink was the most used [for brushing teeth, putting things on top of, - but mostly for the mirror behind it], followed by the shower [used for showering, washing my hair and cleaning mostly] and lastly the bath [which was only used once in 3 weeks for bathing].

 Image 5 is a plan view of the new bathroom showing the progression again. I have centered the sink, shower and bath, which look onto the window of the bathroom.

Image 6 shows the new layout of the bathroom. The shower and sink have been moved closer to the main entrance (seen on the right-bottom of the image) and the bath has had it's skirting removed and placed to the side, and moved to touch the far wall under the window.

Image 7 is a plan view of the new bathroom, Bathroom 1, which shows the progression nicely from sink (used a lot) to bath (used little). Note that the shower-drain and the sink-drain have lined up and all drains are in one straight line.

It is interesting to note that this progression - sink, shower, bath - also takes into account duration of use of product unintentionally. The sink is used in short bursts throughout the day, the shower in longer bursts once a day and the bath taking the longest time, and used seldom.

Time/Action_Final Diagram

 This has the same key as the Time/Body Parts diagram. 

18th - yellow

19th - green

21st - blue

22nd - purple

23rd - red

25th - orange

30th - pink

It gives a good indication about my actions/movements/routines in the bathroom and highlights what I go into the bathroom to do most often - opening & closing the doors/windows/drawers, admiring myself in the mirror, switching on and off lights/fans/heaters/taps, picking up stuff and brushing stuff or rinsing stuff.

The Apartment - Georges Perec [+ Lorna's notes]

Scans of Georges Perec's The Apartment in Species of Spaces... I tried to scan in my post-it notes of comments but it wasnt working so I've re-typed them on top.

My notebook.

 SUPERVISION NOTES + IDEAS AFTER...

 Rough modelling - boxes, or pieces of paper which can be assembled and reassembled in a variety of configurations for design exploration.

 More time analysis of the diary. Using each day in 24hour table showing different types of information. 

The top one (above) is Time/Product - so dividing the use of a particular product (mentioned in the diary) into time slots according to when it was used. This will aid the positioning and reconfiguration of objects in the bathroom. 

The second (above again) is Time/Action and is dividing the actions performed within the bathroom into 24hour time slots. The bathroom could be redesigned through actions, what occurs most regularly and rarely etc. 

The last (below) is Time/Body Part, which looks at particular body parts and how often they are paid attention to in the bathroom.
