Assignment 4 Scott + Bobby

Our original CNC joint was a screen bi fold type door that would rotate upon a central axial join to allow for different spacial and light conditions within the hikers' sleeping quarters. The joints allow for a set of different ways to privatize and bring in light to the specific hiker unit. Since the CNC time we used, we have drastically changed the design. Through many iterations and talks with our instructor the piece has now become a storage device, light source, and convertible surface for the sleeping quarters. The new design is a triangular envelope where connections are made through half laps, and slotted pieces of wood. It also contains a pivot joint the allows for specific pieces of the furniture to rotate downward and become a surface the hikers can use to place their personal items when they sleep. There are two pieces within each hiker module. One is used as a light source directed over the bed and the other is used as a storage device. All in all our design has changed drastically and since our CNC project which has helped iterate through our design process and conclude upon a useful and interesting piece.
