Sketch Series 2

The preparatory mind map of jetties for the design process

The below link takes you to the preparatory mind map I have made for the jetty design process

Its an incredible world they are making :D

My research on Marinas lead me to the Woods Baggot website . They are doing some really fascinating projects. whats even more interesting are the places and things they take inspiration from . below  is one such link.

Possibilities !

This is a brainstorm of ideas on everything the jetty could be, before going into reasearch.
This goes beyond just the needs, but explores everthing the jetty could be used for . As a product by itself and the space around it .

27/04/2016 , 21:34 New note:

This competitive season , preparing for the state championships, the boat club experienced excessive Hysynth near the jetty. This resulted in the cancellation of some practice sessions as the boats could not be rowed out the Hysynth as it was so thick. So this becomes another issue that the jetty has to address . One idea is to have jets of water from under the jetty that can be used to push the the plants away.

Sketch series 1

Here are some sketches I made while ideating ( before research)

Some side explorations and questions

This is an exploration of jetties in different scenarios, weather conditions and different boats.
Along with it are questions that come up, such as, ' could one design for a polluted river?'
Could you design a jetty that stays stable in choppy waters. What if it was based off gyroscope technologies to maintain a steady state?

Putting our jetty into context

This is the first phase of my design process in which I square in on the environment and use of the jetty
