DRAWING FOR DESIGNERS
This collection of drawings represents an exploration in perspective, line
quality, orthographic layouts and the graphic visualization process.
All drawings were rendered using graphite on vellum.

6. DAVENDRA SUKHA 03
DRAWING
Methods, materials and visual information needed to draw
from observation were a key focus in this collection of work.
Materials used include pencil, charcoal and conté crayon.

7. DAVENDRA SUKHA 04
DESIGN RENDERING
These renderings were a concentration in producing virtual images through
the means of controlled light. Emphasis was placed on replicating different
surface types.
Materials used include markers and colored pencils.

COLOR THEORY
How color affects the human eye and mind was a focal
point in these paintings. Color harmonies were explored
through various techniques and methods.
Materials used include acrylic and oil paints.

AUTOCAD
Topics learned in AutoCAD included prototype drawings, blocks,
paper space and the development of 3D solid modeling.
A residential floor plan was created and populated with
appropriate furniture.

12. DAVENDRA SUKHA 09
REVIT
Original building floor plans and elevations were created and detailed using
Revit. Basic building components such as walls and windows were modified
to meet different design requirements.
The design below is a proposal for a sculpture museum
that would integrate local and national pieces.

RESEARCH INSPIRATION
SYNACTAL MOUSE
OBJECTIVE : To design a “better” computer mouse
RESEARCH METHODS : Market analysis of existing products was
conducted and the history of the computer mouse was studied. Fashion
and architecture were used as inspiration during the ideation process.

CONCEPT : By functionally interpreting the subtle motions of the hand,
the mouse can become an elegant solution that intimately understands
its user. A pressure sensitive surface enables it to map the user’s habits
in conjunction with corresponding actions. A simple tap or flex of the
mouse can signify differing commands.
Neutral positioning of the wrist is established by using a near
vertical, open palm interface. Permeability of the surface
material prevents perspiration of the hand thus enabling
extended use. With these design considerations, a symbiotic
relationship between the user and device can be achieved.

PINZER BIKE
OBJECTIVE : To design a compact and foldable bicycle
RESEARCH METHODS : Various types of bikes were researched to
understand the market as a whole. To aid in the ideation process,
foldable and multifunctional tools for camping were studied.

PINZER BIKE : A Foldable Bike With Hovercraft Technology
CONCEPT : The Pinzer Bike is a foldable, compact, mode of
transportation made of carbon fiber. An internal chain connects the
pedals to the front wheel, making it a front wheel drive vehicle. The
rear features hovercraft technology that serves to reduce the weight.
This allows the bike to travel at higher speeds with less energy.
To ensure a smooth ride, a shock absorber is built into the front
wheel housing. When the traveler arrives at their destination, they
can fold the bike about the central axis to reduce its footprint.

CHAUD FROID SPATULA
OBJECTIVE : To design a kitchen utensil for a culinary chef
RESEARCH METHODS : Cooking techniques were studied to understand
how ingredients were prepared. Final dishes were used as inspiration
and as a reminder of how complex a single serving can be.

CHAUD FROID SPATULA : A Thermoelectric Device For The Culinary Chef
CONCEPT : The Chaud Froid Spatula provides a means to change
temperature or textures of certain elements thus increasing the
complexity of the final dish. It is a thermoelectric device with a
graphene blade. Graphene is a material that has high thermal
conductivity so it can become hot or cold almost instantaneously.
This thermoelectric device uses an applied voltage to provide
a temperature difference. By coupling the thermoelectric
effect with the unique properties of graphene, the spatula
becomes an adaptive tool that can immediately change to
the needs of the chef.

HENRY THE MOUNTAINEERING TOOL
OBJECTIVE : To design an easy to use mountaineering emergency tool
RESEARCH METHODS : Typical safety devices and precautions were
researched alongside common hazards and injury. Various landscapes and
scenery were used as inspiration and provided context for the tool’s usage.

You’re on the correct route. The
destination is one mile away.
Am I going the right way?
I just twisted my
ankle...
Rest for a couple minutes to
recover. Stabilize the joint
with a brace if needed.
Are you okay?
I will signal for help. .......
HENRY THE MOUNTAINEERING TOOL : A Travel Companion For Any Adventure
CONCEPT : Henry is a helmet based travel assistant that
complements the hiking experience by providing real time
feedback. A chosen path can be programmed into the
device to help guide the hiker along the correct course.
In the event of an accident, Henry analyzes the situation and
talks the user through appropriate solutions. If a user is
unresponsive, it collects biometric data and summons a rescue
team through an emergency beacon. Henry is both a proactive
tool and a reactive resource, there for every step of the way.
