Reading Pod- Research, Inspiration, Creation - Our task was to research a setting where the environment was not condusive to whatever task was to be performed. I researched the way children read, either in libraries, at home, or in the classroom, and found that they usually contorted themselves to a seemingly uncomfortable position. They migrated either towards another person, or to a surrounding where they were more closed in. These pictures depict the process it took for me to create the "Reading Pod."

I used these initial designs to test how the cushions would be placed in the shelf, and also to figure out the right shape for the "pod."
