Sketching has always helped me and is one of the first steps I use for creating concepts.
Therefore using the human body and its most important anatomy as a parti seems general enough. But how can it be used using salvaged materials and be functional yet aesthetic for any bar or restaurants in Southern California? Do I want this to be literal? A representation of our most important anatomy used a connector to the patron when they sit on it? Do I want the structure to represent the design itself? Was the form going to manacoque or manifold?
I decided to use the vertebrate for the Aromatic Cedar Wood and steel tube for the Intervertebral disk.
