Form StudiesHome
Observation & Studying Cerebral Palsy Children
MDF Model for Lego Blocks
Need- To design a device which will help in improving their
motor skills (hand & eye co-ordination, smooth control on hand
movements, pick up & release control).
Lego Block Concept for Day to Day Objects

Actual Scenario in the City
PMC, NGO & Ragpickers Issues Decentralization of garbage
collection & disposal System solution for building having 4 or
more floors Centralized garbage chutes in the ducts for wet waste
Wet waste decomposition at the source level itself Dry waste
collection only by Rag Pickers Star system for Apartments as well
as for Rag pickers

Spoon is used mostly for cooking oil dispensation but oil
dripping from the bottom part cant be controlled. If the bottom is
coated by nonstick material, being coeff. of friction very less
(0.1), oil will be dropped very fast.
Spoon with non stick coating on the bottom
Mock up models for better grip
Trying a hand in Rhino software
Sketches to explain ergonomic grip
We applied Design process principles in this simple product
design. The project was an opportunity to design right from the
level of need identification till the final prototype for the
product.
Final concept being made with MDF & plastic

Concept for medicine reminder
Existing medicine containers
Need of medicine dispenser cum reminder for elderly peopleMemory
loss Difficulty in reading medicine names Difficult to remember
medicine schedule Compulsory so boring procedure AdvantagesTo make
the task easy To make them habitual about taking medicines on time
To maintain their health in better condition To avoid dependency To
reduce the stress & worries of their children, well wishers.
Concept featuresEasier location & access of medicines because
of the provided slope in the compartment. More area to open the lid
so to avoid the pinch grip. Centrally located alarm. Signage on the
buttons. Black compartment - night time medicines white compartment
- day time medicines. Seven compartments for daily medicines extra
one for general medicines. Compact size & light in weight .
Operation with either hand is possible.

Cut 2D forms stuck on paper relating form & space
Radii manipulation of 2D forms & their 3D conversion
3D forms in Rhino software
One 2D form is selected and arranged in different manner to
understand form-space & their relationship. Also we put
emotions into form arrangements.
Basic form study | 2D & 3D forms | Form studies
To develop the importance of forms in space & their
structure, aesthetics.
