The AUTOMATIC HOTDOG
1. Research activities/events in the city: do drawings and take notes.
2. Choose an observation and design a mechanism that automates some aspect of it.
3. Assemble the various mechanical building blocks into a larger functioning system.
Concepts: Top down / bottom up design, basic mechanisms, and model making.
This was completed by a first year design class taught by Nathan Hemenway and Robert Stupay at the Boston Architectural Society.
